The new low-cut MERGER GTX LO Ws will enable you to move forward with much more flexibility and less weight, without making a single compromise in terms of stability and dynamism. Just like its MID-CUT model, it is cushioned by a midsole made of LOWA DynaPU® and stabilised by a LOWA MONOWRAP® frame. Acting as an innovative crossover STABILITY FRAME, this feature shrouds the foot in a supporting “corset”, which is slightly less pronounced in the women’s model. The extremely robust ripstop upper and waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane provide a consistently high level of comfort. In addition, the anatomically shaped LOWA DynaPU® midsole and bevelled heel edge ensure a pleasant rolling motion. This multifunctional, waterproof and lightweight hybrid shoe is rounded out by a practical speed-lacing system. It is ready to swing into action in a flash and is designed for demanding speed-hiking adventures and everyday wear.

The MERGER GTX LO Ws is equipped with a LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE. Conceived by LOWA to meet the challenges of real-world use, the profile design is made from an optimised rubber compound. The result is a rubber outsole with good traction in the backcountry and off trail.
The rubber sole LOWA® GT Ws is characterised by its angular profile design. This feature provides a large contact surface and solid grip on easy terrain or during urban outings.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The MERGER GTX LO Ws is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.
High breathability
Designed with optimal breathability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.

Anyone who returns home after a long hiking tour knows that feeling of gratitude. Gratitude for breathtaking days spent in the great outdoors, for spectacular moments and for snug boots that safely took the hiker up the mountains and back down again. Many hikers have a very special relationship with their hiking boots. They are something more than just another pair of shoes in the closet. They are more like a hiking partner and a real companion. For a few, they even become something that can only be described as friends. Hikers just can’t do without them. The boots fit like a glove and accompany us everywhere – as they should. Sometimes you wonder: What would the boots say if they could talk? What would they tell us? What have they seen?

The MERGER GTX LO Ws is footwear onto which the outsole has been directly injected. This manufacturing technique creates an exceptionally precise and very strong bond between the sole and upper.
Lightweight
This process uses a plastic called polyurethane. It is a very lightweight foam padding.
Cushioning
The plastic called polyurethane is a foam padding that has very good cushioning properties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.
A wide range of design options
Thanks to direct injection, the sole can be designed in a very large number of ways. The multifaceted properties of the materials used enable the shoes to be effective in a broad number of areas.

Nature provides us with all sorts of unique opportunities to experience unforgettable adventures and enjoy very special moments. More and more people are making a conscious decision to get back in tune with nature. But the decision by more and more people to get back in tune with nature also results in a greater and greater impact on the environment. You hear words like “awareness” and “mindfulness” a lot in discussions about this trend – but what exactly do people mean when they use them? An example: The practise of taking your trash home with you after a tour now comes second nature to many people. Such steps, no matter how tiny they may seem, can be the key to a mindful and sustainable outdoor lifestyle. But if you look around outdoors, you will certainly see many places that certainly have room for improvement.
