“Out of the four corners and out into the five senses.”
— Erwin Schottler | LOWA ACTIVE Team
If you really want to make a stylish impression and enjoy the genuine feel of cosiness during the cold season of the year, then the new ALVERA GTX Ws is exactly what you are looking for. The functional winter boot will keep your feet dry and toasty at all times with the help of its GORE-TEX Panda lining. The shoe makes a strong statement in many other ways as well, the result of innovative details like a fashionable patterned collar, embroidery and a blend of full-grain and smooth leather.

The ALVERA GTX 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® CAMARA Ws comes with a large profile design that offers a bigger contact surface. This feature delivers solid grip on easy terrain or during urban outings.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The ALVERA GTX 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.
“If all of my LOWA boots did not have GORE-TEX technology, I would have been in real trouble several times because water crossings and hikes through wet areas are what my hikes are all about.”
The year of 2023 marks a milestone in LOWA’s history. The shoemaker is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It is the perfect time to look back over the last 100 years and bring the company’s history to life.

To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of the ALVERA GTX Ws is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.
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.

In this construction style, the sole of the ALVERA GTX Ws is designed as a type of shell that forms a cosy home for the foot. This also creates a comfortable fit.
The days are getting longer and warmer again. Slowly, the last traces of winter blues fade away and the desire for a new adventure rises. The hiking season is just around the corner. It’s about time to lace up our hiking boots and explore new trails. But before we set off, it’s important to prepare properly and, above all, to check our equipment after its winter slumber.

The use of a zipper in the ALVERA GTX Ws enables wearers to easily and quickly slip their footwear on and off.
Do you know the feeling of rushing from one appointment to the next and ending up exhausted on the couch in the evening? In a world characterised by performance and social pressure, many feel drained and exhausted. The constant state of stress leads to a burden known as “Mental Load.”

The midsole is the leading contributor to the footwear’s rolling properties and cushioning. In the ALVERA GTX Ws, this midsole is made of a specially developed plastic: LOWA DynaPU®. The special feature: It retains its restoring force even when it’s pressed together thousands of times. As a result, the finished boots will maintain their exceptional cushioning properties even after you have walked many kilometres in them.
Good comfort
The special material development is characterised by good cushioning properties. As a result, walking comfort and rolling properties have been noticeably increased – even during long hikes.
Good rebound effect
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.
Lightweight
The plastic called polyurethane is a very lightweight foam padding. The result is a sole that offers the best form of comfort.
To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for ALVERA GTX Ws have been specially designed with the anatomy of women’s feet in mind. The last plays a key role in the ultimate fit of a boot. Women’s feet have less volume than men’s feet. As a result, the instep height and the ball area of these lasts have been altered.
No matter whether you simply enjoy nature and spend your leisure hours outdoors, or cross fields, forests, and mountains: LOWA is at your side – from outdoor adventures through to more challenging expeditions, always reliable and aware of our responsibilities.

Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become lightweight and functionally flexible.
Polyester is synthetic plastic fibre made from crude oil. In chemical terms, it is a polymer that can be processed into many different materials. Thanks to its chemical flexibility, polyester is lightweight, dries quickly, does not shrink and has the highest levels of tear and abrasion resistance.
Aluminium foil is the name used to describe a thin foil that is produced in a rolling process using the raw material of aluminium. Air-tight aluminium foil is primarily used in insoles as a layer of insulation that fights off cold from below and retains heat in the shoe.
Polyethylene is a semi-crystalline and non-polar thermoplastic resin that is, by far, the most widely used plastic in the world. Polyethylene is used in part as a component of man-made fibre/blended fabrics. It is used primarily to create comfort and insulate the foot from below.
Full-grain leather offers the very best quality that leather has to offer. It consists of various types of leather whose grain side is processed on the outside, regardless of the strength of the natural grain of the animal. The qualities of the leather can be smooth, structured, grained, embossed or shrunk. Full-grain leather has open pores and may be used for many years if it is properly cared for.
Suede leather comes from the flesh side of the hide. It has a looser fibre structure, a quality that creates a velvety surface and a light pile. Suede leather is particularly durable and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, suede leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.
Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific characteristics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.
