LOWA EXPEDITION 8000 EVO RD MEN'S
The LOWA Expedition 8000 EVO RD is an extraordinary mountaineering expedition boot for extreme high-altitude uses.

It is the ideal boot for extreme alpine adventures, for expeditions into the 8,000-meter zone and in arctic climates.

Climbing Zone
This flat support zone under the toes makes easy scrambling possible thanks to a more secure foot placement.
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.
Hard Winter Shank
Sturdy insole with an additional insulating layer for good stability on difficult terrain and protection from the cold at low temperatures.
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.
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.
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.
Waterproof Zipper
Protects against moisture and cold in extreme conditions.
