Black Friday - best deals from 52 stores Lowa's offers outdoor shoes and boots in a wide variety of sizes and is especially generous with large men's sizes (US 13 - US 17).
While there is a high chance that your Lowa size is going to be the same as your regular outdoor footwear size, measuring your foot length would be a safe place to start.
Lowa men's and women's size chart
Please note each Lowa product is going to feel different even in the same size. That's because the last, the upper design, and the materials all affect the fit.
We hope that our detailed lab reviews can help you find the most appropriate Lowa shoe/boot for you. We measure the toebox dimensions as well as the internal heel-to-toe length of each product in our lab to give you a better idea of their fit and sizing.
Ladies get special treatment
Lowa proudly claims that all of their women's products are built on a women-specific last which considers the differences in the shape and anatomy of a female foot.
Some of its women's silhouettes also feature injected soles for enhanced cushioning and comfort. For these shoes and boots, women are advised to order half a size bigger.
Wide and narrow widths from Lowa
Some Lowa shoes and boots can be purchased in alternative widths. However, the Wide option is available for only about 15% of the brand's products while the Narrow option is even more scarce - only 2% of the products.
Lowa sizes compared to other outdoor brands
We found that Lowa's men's sizes are consistent with other popular outdoor brands like Merrell, KEEN, And Salomon. However, its women's sizes may need a half-size adjustment depending on the given boot's sole type (i.e. US 5.5 is not injected and US 6 if injected).
| Shoe length (mm) | Lowa | Merrell | KEEN | Salomon |
| Men's US sizes | ||||
| 270 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 |
| 280 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| 290 | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 |
| Women's US sizes | ||||
| 230 | 5.5-6 | 6.5 | 6 | 6 |
