Pilgrims take a journey to a holy or spiritual place. The pilgrim takes a journey that lasts for several days or even weeks – usually on foot. Pilgrimages are a part of many religions. Today, belief in God does not have to be the primary reason for the pilgrimage. The reasons can vary greatly. Many pilgrims want to forget about their everyday lives, make a key decision or get to know themselves. No matter what reason may prompt an individual to undertake a pilgrim hike, it is not the destination that matters most. It is the experience-filled journey that counts for the pilgrim.
“While hiking the Camino de Santiago, I can forget my everyday worries and discover myself.”
— Daniela, Die Wanderreporterin
Robust
Bright sunshine or pouring rain – the weather doesn’t matter at all to people who like to head outdoors. That’s why LOWA boots are made of robust materials that provide the best comfort even in wind and weather.
Stability
To ensure sufficient comfort during hikes with backpacks, both the sole and the upper should be stable.
Comfortable
Comfortable footwear is essential for long distances covered by foot. This is why LOWA places such a high priority on exact fit that is perfectly designed to handle short or long distances.
A mountain hike involves a tour in highland terrain. This is the easiest way to explore the mountains. In principle, mountain hiking is something for everyone. The tours frequently use forest trails or paths. The higher the altitude of the hikes, the greater the degree of difficulty and the greater the need for experience, preparation, fitness, grip and a head for heights. Mountain hiking is a basic form of mountain climbing. The transition is frequently seamless.
“Whether it’s scouting, filming eagles or paragliding – I think there is absolutely no substitute for the natural environment of the mountains. We only have this one planet. Let’s take good care of it – for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”
— Helmut Achatz | LOWA ACTIVE Team

“It’s important to me that my feet stay dry when I go on longer walks with my dog in all weathers. Of course, the footwear should nevertheless be very breathable. That means my dog Loui and I have a lot of fun even in wet weather.”

LOWA DynaPU®+ is used in the LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws. 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.

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?

To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws have been specially designed with the anatomy of women’s feet in mind. The last plays a key role in the ultimate fit of a boot.

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.
