Who should buy the Lowa Gorgon GTX

The Lowa’s Gorgon GTX earned generally positive feedback from the hiking community. It is a solid option if you:

• Prefer a hiking boot that provides all-weather protection.

• Prefer a hiking boot that adheres to most terrain types.

Excellent grip on almost all types of terrain

This low-top hiking shoe comes with a Lowa speed hiking rubber outsole. Its composition is optimized to provide grip on almost all types of terrain. 

Excellent traction

Its tread design includes varying lug shapes and sizes which enables it to bite into ground surfaces.

Long-lasting durability

This vegan-friendly shoe for hiking employs a double injection DuraPU midsole. This material provides adequate rebound and mitigates shock from ground impacts. It is also known for its long-lasting durability. These characteristics enable the Gorgon GTX to yield a more comfortable ride.

Comfortable cushioning

Cradling the hiker’s foot is a Climate Control Footbed. This element has a breathable top layer which also aids the movement of moisture away from the foot. It helps enhance comfort and reduces fatigue.

Stable over rugged terrain

For ground steadiness, this waterproof trail shoe comes with a soft stabilizer (a nylon joint stabilizing element) and the brand-owned Monowrap Stability Frame. The latter elevates the sole and optimizes the level of stability, especially over rugged terrain.

Durable and lightweight

The upper of the Lowa Gorgon GTX uses a combination of microfiber and synthetic. This combo creates a durable and lightweight build. 

Waterproof and breathable

Its interior is lined with a Gore-Tex laminate to protect against water intrusions. This lining also helps keep a breathable environment. 

Excellent lacing system

This lining also helps keep a breathable environment. The fabric loops used in its lacing system assist in managing the fit.
