“A mountain hike is a great way for me to forget about my everyday cares for a while. I love the panoramas and the time away from the commotion of the city.”
— Dennis | LOWA Key account Sales Germany
It needs to be lightweight and have as sporty a look as possible: what sounds like wishful thinking is at last becoming the standard for modern trekking footwear. An athletic profile, lateral embossing with colourful stitching and a completely new design make the RANDIR GTX MID the forerunner of a whole new generation of lightweight, resoleable hiking boots. The upper is made of full-grain leather and fabric. Thanks to its breathability, the integrated GORE-TEX membrane keeps feet dry, taking care of a pleasant foot climate. Extended two-zone lacing with locking hooks combined with the X-LACING system ensure that comfort is never compromised. While the chunky LOWA® DYNAPU®+ midsole provides optimal cushioning and harmonious rolling properties, the VIBRAM CORNERSTONE outsole, with its pronounced heel edge and well-defined tread pattern, guarantees excellent grip on any terrain. Robust PU foil on the heel and toe completes the package.

The RANDIR GTX MID comes equipped with a Vibram sole. The Italian sole manufacturer has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years.
The VIBRAM CORNERSTONE sole has a modern profiled sole design with distinctive edges on the lugs, which provide the necessary traction in the forefoot area and grip in the heel area in varying terrain. These good properties are reinforced by the very pronounced heel edge, which increases the braking effect, especially downhill.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The RANDIR GTX MID is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.
High breathability
Designed with optimal breathability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.
Discovering Mother Nature on foot is no longer the passion of older hikers alone. On the contrary, mountain hiking has long become one of the most popular types of sporting activities in all age groups. Hardly surprising, when you consider the unconventional design of sporty models like the new RANDIR GTX MID – a modern reinterpretation of classic trekking boots featuring the cushioned LOWA® DYNAPU®+ midsole and spoiler-like collar, that is also a big hit with the younger generation.

Thanks to the two-zone lacing system used in the RANDIR GTX MID, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the shoe can be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents.

“I can’t lace up a shoe any more sensitively than this. I relish this lacing system every time I switch from coarse gravel or snow to rocks. A short tug and the approach shoe is transformed into a climbing shoe.”
— Stefan Glowacz | LOWA PRO Team
Anyone who returns home after a long hiking tour knows that feeling of gratitude. Gratitude for breathtaking days spent in the great outdoors, for spectacular moments and for snug boots that safely took the hiker up the mountains and back down again. Many hikers have a very special relationship with their hiking boots. They are something more than just another pair of shoes in the closet. They are more like a hiking partner and a real companion. For a few, they even become something that can only be described as friends. Hikers just can’t do without them. The boots fit like a glove and accompany us everywhere – as they should. Sometimes you wonder: What would the boots say if they could talk? What would they tell us? What have they seen?

Stitches and material overlaps are eliminated in the RANDIR GTX MID thanks to the use of large pieces in forming the upper. This reduces the possibility of pressure points, a feature that enhances comfort.

Nature provides us with all sorts of unique opportunities to experience unforgettable adventures and enjoy very special moments. More and more people are making a conscious decision to get back in tune with nature. But the decision by more and more people to get back in tune with nature also results in a greater and greater impact on the environment. You hear words like “awareness” and “mindfulness” a lot in discussions about this trend – but what exactly do people mean when they use them? An example: The practise of taking your trash home with you after a tour now comes second nature to many people. Such steps, no matter how tiny they may seem, can be the key to a mindful and sustainable outdoor lifestyle. But if you look around outdoors, you will certainly see many places that certainly have room for improvement.

Feet can roll more effectively if the upper of a hiking boot can be easily bent. Such a feature saves energy when the wearer climbs hills and it provides real comfort in the process. For this reason, LOWA has integrated a flexible zone and a lace loop into this area for the RANDIR GTX MID. This involves repositioning the boot’s eyelets and using a flexible lace hook that improves heel comfort and facilitates bending.

When LOWA sits down to develop its line of Alpine boots, the company consults with the best professional mountaineers in the German-speaking world. These ambitious mountain athletes know exactly what counts during extreme high-altitude tours, on via ferrata and during far-off expeditions. The LOWA PRO Team advises our specialists in the Development Department in its work to create footwear that perfectly meets the athletes’ needs. The result of this work is a new line that delivers top performance on the mountain. The models have become much more athletic and lighter. Over the past few years, a number of exceptional LOWA boots have been developed in the “performance” segment during countless meetings with athletes and testing events.

LOWA DynaPU®+ is used in the RANDIR GTX MID. This is a specially developed foam padding used in the midsole of footwear. It plays a key role in the rolling properties and the cushioning of the footwear. The new LOWA DynaPU®+ offers even better recovery behaviour thanks to its special cell structure. This, in turn, creates an improved rebound effect for athletes. Even with constant use, the recovery behaviour does not lose any of its high performance qualities.
Good rebound effect
The plastic called polyurethane is a foam padding that has very good cushioning properties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.
Good comfort
The special material development is characterised by good cushioning properties. As a result, walking comfort and rolling properties have been noticeably increased – even during long hikes.
Lightweight
The plastic called polyurethane is a very lightweight foam padding. The result is a sole that offers the best form of comfort.
