When a trip calls for long days on your feet, dependable support matters. The LOWA Z-8S GTX C bridges the gap between a lightweight hiking boot and a more supportive backpacking boot, giving you the confidence to cover ground without carrying unnecessary weight.

The split leather upper works with the Gore-Tex lining to balance waterproof protection and breathability. Whether conditions are wet, muddy, or unpredictable, the boot is designed to help keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.

Underfoot, the full-length stabiliser and LOWA MONOWRAP frame provide structure and support, while the PU midsole delivers cushioning that holds up under medium to heavy pack loads. A boot often feels very different once the pack weight goes on. This one is built to maintain its support when it matters most.

The high-cut design adds extra ankle stability, while the LOWA Tactical Z Trac outsole delivers dependable traction across a wide range of surfaces. A strong choice for outdoor adventures, field use, and demanding terrain where comfort, stability, and durability all matter.
