LOWA

LOWA is a German footwear maker based in Jetzendorf, a small Bavarian town north of Munich, where Lorenz Wagner founded the company in 1923 after learning the cobbler's trade from his father. Its main range covers mountaineering, trekking, hiking, trail running, leisure and winter shoes for men, women and children. The part that matters to airsoft players is the LOWA Professional line, a separate range of combat and mission boots built for military, police and security work, special forces and training. It includes the Breacher mission boots in leather, nubuck and suede, the Z-8 combat boots with raised shafts, and the Combat Boot MK2, many with GORE-TEX linings, in black, brown, coyote and desert colours. LOWA also sells insoles, laces, socks and care products. Players buy LOWA boots through outdoor and tactical shops, which the brand lists on its dealer locator, or from its own web shops for Europe and the United States.
