Lowa Z-8N MK2 GTX PR

The Lowa Z-8N Mk2 GTX PR is an equally good choice whether you’re after tall hiking boots or need footwear for law enforcement or reservist use. The feel isn’t as stiff as in high, C-rated hiking boots, so despite its appearance the Z-8N doesn’t “splint” the ankle as firmly as boots designed for mountain terrain.

The Monowrap construction, familiar from many other Lowa boots, wraps the foot in a supportive fit.

The Tactical Z Trac outsole gives good grip in a wide range of conditions and resists oil, petrol and contact heat.

• 2.2 mm thick nubuck leather upper
• Cordura fabric on the shaft adds flex to the construction
• A genuine Gore-Tex membrane sits between the leather and the lining
• Polyurethane midsole: the underfoot feel is firm rather than soft
• Pull loop at the heel
• Closed lacing hooks won’t snag branches and the like
• Removable insoles

This boot model meets the requirements of the DIN EN ISO 20347:2012 occupational footwear standard (note: this standard does not include toe protection).

A great product for taking care of your leather and fabric upper boots is the Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof.
