The LOWA Ranger EVO GTX Wide Men's Shoes are engineered for Australian and New Zealand treks through demanding wilderness. This waterproof hiking and mountaineering boot provides unwavering ankle support for navigating steep, craggy environments, or loading up with hiking packs that exceed 25kg. 

Designed for absolute comfort during multi-day expeditions in backcountry bush, this hiking boot features a heritage look and wraps your feet in a nubuck leather upper. A semi-permeable membrane provides ventilation to allow sweat to escape, while the Gore-Tex lining blocks water from entering.

The C4 tongue is strategically shaped to eliminate pressure points, offer optimal flex and hug comfortably to your foot with a left and right-specific fit. The shock-absorbing, dual-density polyurethane (PU) midsole is resilient against heavy loads and improves rebound.

According to LOWA, “Bi-Density PU midsoles have superior attributes to extend the life of their boots. Typically, more than 2.5 times more than EVA” - so you can look forward to a long-term partnership with your trekking boots.

The SPS system (Supination-Pronation-Supination) provides stability to help manage the excess pronation or supination of your feet (excessively rotating on the inner or outer edge) - with support zones in the midsole to stay on your most efficient motion path. 

The trail-ready Vibram Apptrail Divo outsole provides multi-terrain traction on both inclines and descents - allowing you to conquer challenging environments. Medium depth lugs help bite onto rough terrain, and a pronounced heel brake offers sure-footed confidence. 

The LOWA Ranger EVO GTX have featured on Wilderness Magazine's "2026's Guide To Trekking Boots" by gear editor Mark Watson - and is a sturdy and comfortable choice for long-distance hiking.
