LOWA ALPINE EXPERT II GTX WOMEN'S
No matter whether your aim is to cross a ridge or to tramp across a field of loose rocks - LOWA has developed the ALPINE EXPERT II GTX Ws mountaineering tour boot so that women can take on any terrain. To provide more stability, the upper has been set higher and a carbon shank has been incorporated.
And if things get really wet and cold, you can count on the waterproof GORE-TEX lining with PrimaLoft® 400 insulation.

GORE-TEX® Lining
Highly breathable, durably waterproof lining material. Keeps feet pleasantly dry and offers optimised climate comfort for a broad range of outdoor activities.
Primaloft®
PrimaLoft® insulation is a synthetic, water-repelling insulation fibre. The exceptional warming performance delivered while keeping the weight down and offering the best compressibility is produced by a particularly thin polyester fibre. These ultra-fine polyester micro-fibres are bonded to one another at millions of contact points through the use of heat. This creates a tightly adhered fibre mesh that mimics the structure and functionality of down while countless small air chambers are created. The body’s warmth is trapped here while the cold outside air is effectively repelled.
Vibram®
These outstanding soles and rubber blends offer impressive traction on various surfaces and, at the same time, optimal abrasion resistance. Vibram® has always stood for premium, slip-resistant, long-lasting soles and has for years been the market leader in this segment.
Resoleable
LOWA boots sold in the MOUNTAINEERING and TREKKING categories are designed in a way during the development phase that they can be resoled. This process will extend their service life and make a strong contribution to sustainability.
Very Stiff
Particularly rigid. The soles will remain firm even when subjected to stress.
2 Zone Lacing
Independently adjustable lacing zones, one on the forefoot and one on the upper, allow user to customize the lacing tension and do special foot-hold lacing techniques.
X-Lacing®
Patented LOWA technology holds the tongue in place, both vertically and horizontally, preventing slippage, pressure points and blisters.
Roller Eyelets
Metal eyelets with small rollers minimize friction, ensure easy lacing.
Anatomical fit
The anatomical shape of this carbon fiber insert wrapped in PU foam provides natural arch support and better fit.
Close to the ground
A lower-profile platform for better sole contact with ground, important for alpinist safety.
