Lowa Innox Pro GTX Lo notable features

It's made of synthetic materials, including microfiber for plush comfort and breathability, a waterproof membrane for weather protection, a double-injection DynaPU midsole for heavy-duty cushioning and support, and the LOWA Multi Trac outsole with multidirectional lugs for enhanced grip and traction.

Size and fit
This version of the Lowa Innox Pro GTX has a low-top profile for freedom of movement. The collar and tongue are well-padded for added comfort. They are also firm enough that they let wearers slide their feet into the shoe with ease. Furthermore, the stretchy upper hugs the foot snugly, and the traditional lace-up closure of this shoe promotes a secure fit.
Lowa Innox Pro GTX Lo's all-terrain sole
As a great partner for day hiking, fast hiking, and ultra-light hiking, the Lowa Innox Pro GTX Lo is equipped with the Multi Trac outsole. It's an all-terrain sole that features triangular lugs pointed at different directions for a better grip.
Grips firmly to the ground
There are indentations or grooves on the toe and heel areas that increase the friction between the sole and the ground so the foot grips firmly on the ground. This greatly helps the wearer when descending or ascending.
Stable and long-lasting cushioning
The Innox Pro GTX features the DynaPU midsole - a propriety technology of Lowa. It's made of heavy-duty polyurethane (PU). This material is extremely stable and provides long-lasting cushioning. According to the brand, it retains its stability and substance even when pressed together 1,000 times.
The midsole is attached to the upper through the complex process of injection molding which results in a more durable shoe. For more cushioning, this shoe comes with an ATC insole.
Excellent durability and stability
Touted for its sheer lightness, this hiking shoe from Lowa has a sleek upper that's made of durable synthetic materials. The one-piece mesh upper is reinforced by synthetic overlays that help retain the structure of the shoe and enhance its support. This shoe is constructed using the LOWA MONOWRAP Frame in which the sole is highly elevated. This gives optimal structure for the upper and provides a high level of stability.
Secure fit
Completing the shoe upper is a traditional lacing system with flat laces for a secure fit.
