100 Years of Craftsmanship
From Jetzendorf to the Whole World
Lowa was founded in 1923 by Lorenz Wagner, whose initials still give the brand its name today. From the very beginning, the focus was on sturdy, well-fitting shoes for people who spend time outdoors—initially for the local rural population, and later increasingly for mountaineers, hikers, and soldiers. Today, LOWA produces several million pairs of shoes annually and exports to over 80 countries, yet it has remained a family-run company with Bavarian roots. The headquarters in Jetzendorf, north of Munich, remains the center of development to this day, where the fit and craftsmanship of every model are tested with great care. This continuity explains why Lowa shoes have enjoyed such a strong reputation among mountain guides, foresters, and experienced hikers for generations.
A prime example of this quality is the Lowa Renegade EVO GTX MID Ws, an evolution of LOWA’s all-time best-selling boot. The Renegade was originally launched over 25 years ago and has since been continuously refined with new materials and sole constructions, all while retaining its proven fit. It’s precisely this consistency that many customers appreciate—once they’ve found the right model, they stick with the same last for years. If you’re still unsure which model suits your foot and your hikes, our team will be happy to help you make the right choice. You can find the entire current Lowa collection at ski-shop.ch on the Lowa brand page.
GORE-TEX & Vibram
Dry, stable, grippy—in any weather
Many Lowa models are equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane that reliably keeps water and snow out while allowing moisture to escape from the inside to the outside. Combined with durable nubuck leather uppers, this creates a boot that stays dry even in wet snow, puddles, or damp autumn leaves. For traction on ice, rock, and loose terrain, Lowa often relies on Vibram soles with deep treads that provide a secure grip even in winter conditions. The anatomically shaped Lowa lasts also ensure a fit that prevents pressure points, even on long day hikes. This makes every step in the snow or on uneven terrain controlled and safe, rather than a slippery affair.
This technology is featured, for example, in theLowa Renegade EVO GTX MID Ws, which is designed for all-weather touring with a GORE-TEX membrane and a high-grip Vibram sole. Especially in Switzerland, where the weather and terrain can change multiple times in a single day, this combination of waterproofing and traction really pays off. Even with a sudden change in weather on the alp or when transitioning from a dry trail to a snow-covered path, you’ll keep your feet dry with a well-crafted Lowa boot. To ensure the membrane retains its functionality over the long term, it’s also worth performing regular maintenance using the appropriate waterproofing and cleaning products.

From forest trails to the summit
The Right Boot for Every Hike
Lowa covers a wide range, from lightweight hiking boots for leisurely walks to rugged mountaineering boots for challenging alpine terrain. Those who are out and about regularly in the winter will particularly benefit from the waterproof mid- and high-cut models, which support the ankle while still allowing enough freedom of movement for brisk walking. Many Lowa shoes are also ideal for everyday use in the snow—such as on the way to the bus stop or during a winter walk with the dog—thanks to their grippy soles and warm linings. If you frequently hike on varied terrain, the Lowa collection also offers models with stiffer soles that are compatible with lightweight crampons or snowshoes. This way, a pair of Lowa shoes can take you from flat winter trails to more challenging mountain hikes without having to switch models along the way.
The Lowa Renegade EVO GTX MID Ws is a particularly versatile companion for hikes and winter excursions across varied terrain. With its mid-cut shaft, it provides noticeable ankle support without feeling unnecessarily stiff or heavy during brisk walking. This makes it suitable for both a short winter hike after work and a longer day hike on the weekend. Those who regularly switch between flat trails and more challenging terrain will benefit from this very versatility, rather than needing a separate shoe for every purpose. You can find a complete overview of all available LOWA models on the LOWA brand page at ski-shop.ch.
