LOWA PROFESSIONAL News 2024
Take a peek at the highlights from our upcoming collection.
New year, new LOWA PROFESSIONAL collection. Hereafter is an overview of the LOWA PROFESSIONAL novelties presented this year.
Another exciting year announces itself at LOWA PROFESSIONAL. Entirely new product families and technologies made their way into the collection, whilst the promise of quality and a perfect fit remains unchanged.
The ZEPHYR GTX WORK joins its legendary occupational shoe siblings and perfectly complements the existing product family with three new shaft versions. Thanks to its all-round protection with puncture-resistant sole, composite toe cap and high-quality split leather, it is ready for any job.
With its slender design, light weight and outstanding comfort, the LOWA ZICON® is ideal for police and security forces. The model also has an ESD-compliant construction, making it ideal for use in environments with sensitive technology.
Probably the fastest shoe from LOWA PROFESSIONAL is the FORTUX. Whether for training or stylish leisure use in civilian clothes, this sportive companion can be relied upon.
The shoes will be available in stores in the second half of 2024.
ZEPHYR GTX WORK: Safety redefined
Complex terrain such as overgrown paths or full warehouses always pose a risk. Dangerous objects on the ground are often not immediately visible. This is where the ZEPHYR GTX WORK comes into play: the safety revolution in the legendary family of work shoes sets new standards and can definitely keep up with the classic models.
All-round protection is guaranteed: from below, the puncture-resistant midsole prevents sharp-edged objects from entering the shoe. The upper material impresses with a mixture of particularly high-quality and hard-wearing suede leather as well as CORDURA®. The latter convinces with its abrasion-resistant and breathable properties. Inside the shoe, the GORE-TEX membrane creates an efficient, waterproof, and breathable barrier that keeps out moisture from the outside but allows dampness to escape from the inside, creating a comfortable shoe climate. The features go on and on: the stable yet lightweight composite toe cap creates an extra layer of safety between the environment and the inside of the shoe.
However, the safety concept of the ZEPHYR GTX WORK is not simply a one-way street. The ESD-compliant design also protects the surroundings. Particularly sensitive electronic components such as semiconductors can be damaged or even destroyed by electrostatic discharges.
The raised LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame picks up on the popular design of its ZEPHYR relatives and offers optimum stability and comfort. The slip-resistant LOWA® X-TRAC® sole provides additional grip and is particularly effective in fast, dynamic situations. Active missions with rapid changes of direction are no problem and the integrated PU toe protection facilitates climbing over obstacles easier.
The ZEPHYR GTX WORK product range in its HIGH-, MID- and LOW-cut versions are certified as safety footwear under EN ISO 20345:2022. With this addition to the ZEPHYR family, LOWA ushers in a new era of safety and provides a reliable partner for everyday professional use.
All shaft heights are available in EU shoe sizes 39 to 48, with a weight of 1390 grams per pair in the MID version (EU 42 / UK 8).
The HIGH version will be available at an RRP of 220,00€, the MID version at an RRP of 200,00€ and the LOW version at an RRP of 180,00€.
LOWA ZICON® GTX: Slender design with a broad range
On the job, no two days are the same. Every situation requires maximum concentration but there’s one thing you don’t have to worry about: the LOWA ZICON® GTX series shoes are reliable, versatile companions in everyday working life.
The newly designed shoe made from high-quality black smooth leather not only looks dynamic, but also behaves accordingly. There is more to the shoe than its discreet and slender appearance. The slip resistant LOWA® COVERT sole in combination with the cushioning LOWA® DYNAPU® midsole enable fast movements while guaranteeing maximum comfort. To further enhance the latter, the occupational shoe can be individually adapted to the foot with the option of an orthopaedic insole. The LOW-cut model convinces with its lightweight feel and maximum freedom of movement, while the HI- and MID-cut versions offer support in the ankle area. To provide perfect support for women’s feet, the specially optimized Ws models in the series are manufactured using an adapted women’s last.
The combination of upper material, lining and sole provides all-round protection from the environment. The robust full-grain leather treated with RAYFLECT technology reflects sunrays and therefore prevents the shoe from heating up, which is a particular advantage when working outdoors. In addition, the GORE-TEX membrane reliably keeps out moisture from the shoe, yet allows dampness to escape from the inside thanks to its breathable properties. The abrasion-resistant outsole also is resistant to oil and fuel and protects the foot from underneath. The LOWA ZICON® GTX is certified ESD-compliant and not only protects the wearer but also valuable technology from electrostatic discharges.
All in all, the LOWA ZICON® GTX is a versatile and visually inconspicuous professional shoe for indoor and outdoor use. It’s available with variable shaft heights as HI-, MID- and LOW-cut versions to suit a wide range of applications as well as a fit-optimized women’s version. It is certified as occupational footwear under EN ISO 20347:2022, which makes it the ideal companion for police and security forces, both for long days on your feet and for active situations.
All shaft heights are available in UK shoe sizes 6 ½ to 13, as well as 14 and 15, with a weight of 1390 grams per pair in the MID version (UK 8).
The HIGH version will be available at an RRP of 220,00€, the MID version at an RRP of 200,00€ and the LOW version at an RRP of 180,00€.
FORTUX: Your athletic partner
Ultra-long distances, maximum speed: the FORTUX and the corresponding specially fit-optimized women‘s version FORTUX Ws pack trail running performance into a discreet monochrome look.
Specially designed for long distances, the feel remains the same mile after mile. The innovative LOWA® TRAC® sole system consists of an outsole made of grippy rubber and the characteristic LOWA® DYNEVA® midsole with a high rebound effect. This allows you to get the most out of your performance even on rough or wet surfaces. The slightly curved rocker construction also ensures optimum roll-over of the foot.
Pressure points don‘t stand a chance thanks to the sophisticated design. The upper is made in one piece without unnecessary seams to prevent sore spots over long distances. The lightweight, seamless tongue construction also offers a unique blend of comfort and breathability. The padding under the heel ensures a comfortable fit.
The FORTUX is predestined for the long-haul. The REPTEX® SPORT upper material with PU coating makes the shoe significantly more durable, creating a reliable partner for training and leisure activities.
The FORTUX is designed for leisure use and is not certified for use as occupational or safety footwear.
The shoe is available in UK shoe sizes 3 ½ to 12, as well as 13, with a weight of 630 grams per pair in the MID version (UK 8).
The FORTUX will be available at an RRP of 160,00€.
