LOWA EXPLORER GTX MID Ws

The special Vibram rubber compound remains grippy in all weather conditions, offering good grip even in wet conditions. Thanks to its pronounced triangular tread pattern, it is designed for versatile terrain, from forest tracks to steep root terrain.

Trekking, sometimes also called backpacking, involves longer hikes, often over several days or weeks with heavier luggage. In addition to food and clothing, a tent is often carried. Comfortable footwear such as the LOWA® EXPLORER is indispensable on the many kilometres of a trekking tour.

Hiking boots are often lighter and more flexible than trekking boots. The more robust construction of trekking shoes is designed for torsional stability and precision, which are particularly important on unpaved paths. However, new technologies are also making trekking shoes lighter and lighter, so that they are in no way inferior to their hiking siblings in terms of comfort.

Every shoe has its area of use, but this does not make them better or worse. Ankle-high shoes are better suited to demanding terrain and longer tours, as they offer more stability around the ankle.
