Lowa Locarno GTX QC Ws - Sand/Red Wood - 37 1/2 (UK 4.5)

Walking shoes are by definition not necessarily suitable for every day use, yet they are increasingly being worn in the city. What used to be considered inflexible and over-ambitious is almost normal in the age of the urban lifestyle. The functional hybrid solutions with a casual look deliberately chooses a new path and bridge the gap between lifestyle and outdoor shoes. The trendy shoes convince in every respect. The smaller Lowa-Monowrap offers optimal support of the foot and the cushioning midsole made of Lowa DynaPU also ensures an overall look worth seeing. Lifestyle meets outdoor" - this is the best way to describe the functional models. With these urban trendsetters, Lowa once again brings a multifunctional solution for countless activities to the shoe rack at home - for the mountains as well as for the city.

• Gore-Tex: Footwear equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane is reliably waterproof, windproof and breathable.
• Lowa Rubber Sole: Conceived by Lowa to meet the challenges of real-world use, the profile design of the Lowa Rubber Outsole is made from an optimised rubber compound. The result is a Rubber Outsole with good traction in the backcountry and off trail.
• Double Injection: To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU-foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.
• Support Frame: With the Lowa-Monowrap frame, the midsole provides the very best comfort. This three-dimensional midsole design was developed by Lowa in 1995. The frame comfortably cradles the foot and supports it when the shoe wearer ventures across an uneven surface. The sole design is slightly raised for shoes with a Support Frame.
• DynaPU: The midsole is the leading contributor to the footwear’s rolling properties and cushioning. This midsole is made of a specially developed plastic: Lowa DynaPU. The special feature: It retains its restoring force even when it’s pressed together thousands of times. As a result, the finished boots will maintain their exceptional cushioning properties even after you have walked many kilometres in them.
• Flexible: Footwear labelled “flexible” has little rigidity. This quality supports the foot’s natural rolling properties.
• Woman Last: To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for female footwear 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. Women’s feet have less volume than men’s feet. As a result, the instep height and the ball area of these lasts have been altered.
