Description
LOWA TIBET GTX WIDE
The LOWA Tibet GTX WIDE is a stable and robust backpacking boot that has proved itself many times over on the toughest treks all over the world and on countless multi-day alpine expeditions. The Vibram® MASAI rubber sole makes the job of conquering terrains all sorts of fun. The additional, wrap-around rubber rand protects against rocks and dirt. The X-Lacing system and the smart I-Lock system create an exceptional fit.
Here are some of the patented, LOWA-exclusive technologies you’ll find in the LOWA Tibet GTX WIDE:
- LOWA C4-Tongue: The anatomically shaped, padded tongue is designed to improve ankle flex and decrease pressure points, for all-day comfort.
- LOWA 2-Zone-Lacing: Independently adjustable lacing zones, one on the forefoot and one on the upper, allow the user to customize the lacing tension and do special foot-hold lacing techniques.
- LOWA Flex: Upper construction with freely moving, individually mounted lace hooks provides a more individualized fit and allows the lacing system to flex as you walk, for better comfort.
- LOWA X-Lacing: Patented LOWA technology holds the tongue in place, both vertically and horizontally, preventing slippage and pressure points and blisters.
- LOWA Roller Eyelets: Metal eyelets with small rollers minimize friction, ensure easy lacing.
- LOWA FlexFit: Easier ankle movement due to integrated “FlexZone“ and flexible lace.

“Frankly, I’ve been amazed that my feet can withstand spending 12-hours hiking through the mountains, with a 40lb load on my back, and still be somewhat pain-free. There’s no doubt that the LOWA Tibets have prevented foot fatigue and soreness on long, high-mileage days. In fact, I recently tested another boot and noticed that my feet were much more fatigued half-way through the day than they were compared to the LOWA Tibets, and by the end of the day my feet were quite sore in the other boot I tested.”

“Overall I really love these boots, they’ve got a gore-tex interior lining which means it’s 100% waterproof and they are really super breathable which is an important factor when looking for comfortable boots. Like I mentioned earlier, I’ve taken these boots everywhere with me, to places such as South Africa, Nepal, Europe, South America and the Fjords of Iceland, and they have really performed extremely well. If you’re looking for a great pair backpacking boots you should definitely check out the LOWA Tibet Pro GTX boots.”
