LOWA Breacher Boots GORE-TEX® Mid - Black (Ws)

The replacement for the LOWA Mountain Boot GORE-TEX®. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID is part of a completely new modular system of mission boots. 2 Heights, 4 colours, 3 leather variations and the option of either having a 100% GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort Footwear Membrane or not. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID’s ankle-high upper offers an ideal combination of stability and freedom of movement. In addition to the comfortable dual-density PU midsole with integrated arch support for long tabs, yomps, rucks or marches the certified ankle protection system with PORON® technology makes this boot the ideal choice for soldiers, airmen, police officers, security consultants and private military contractors. A combination of highly abrasion-resistant, breathable CORDURA® material and smooth leather is used for the upper. Thanks to LOWA® RAYFLECT® tech­nology, the smooth leather also reflects sunlight. These LOWA boots are EN ISO 20347 certified and are classified as occupational footwear. Occupational footwear such as these also provide a degree of anti-static resistance and come with shock-absorbing heels as standard. In addition to these qualities, wearers of the LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID benefit from a new Vibram® Vanguard outsole and GORE-TEX® Professional Performance Comfort Footwear membrane. The Vibram® Vanguard sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain. The sole is re-soleable. Ankle protection is particularly important in the military & Police sector and for work in rough terrain. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID is equipped with high-performance protection of the ankle area against injuries caused by external impact. The protection of the inner and outer ankles is ensured by a PORON® padding in the affected area. This material is characterised by particularly high shock absorption and is certified (an additional requirement AN). The two-zone lacing system used in the LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID means the forefoot and upper have their own separate adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the boot can be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents. 100% Poly­urethane (PU)Midsole. PU is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Using PU the soles of boots become light­weight and functionally flexible. 100% GORE-TEX® Professional Performance Comfort Footwear Membrane. Boots equipped with a GORE-TEX® Professional Performance Comfort Footwear membrane are permanently waterproof and are perfect for fluctuating temperatures. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID is equipped with an exchangeable footbed for optimal individual adjustment and, in combination with the orthopaedic insoles ErgoPad® work:x and ErgoPad® work:h+ from BAUER­FEIND®, is certified and approved for use as occupational footwear in accordance with DIN EN ISO 20347:2012 For information on how to properly look after your LOWA military boots, visit our leather boot aftercare.
