These LOWA boots are EN ISO 20347 certified and are classified as occupational footwear. This means that at the very least they can be expected to offer a reasonable degree of protection against oil, water, and penetrative forces. Occupational footwear such as these also provide a degree of anti-static resistance and come with shock-absorbing heels as standard. In addition to these qualities, wearers of the LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID benefit from a new Vibram® Vanguard outsole and GORE-TEX® Professional Performance Comfort Footwear membrane.
The Vibram® Vanguard sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain. The sole is resoleable.
Ankle protection is particularly important in the military & Police sector and for work in rough terrain. The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID is equipped with high-performance protection of the ankle area against injuries caused by external impact. The protection of the inner and outer ankles is ensured by a PORON® padding in the affected area. This material is characterised by particularly high shock absorption and is certified (an additional requirement AN).
The two-zone lacing system used in the LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID means the forefoot and upper have their own separate adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the boot can be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents.
100% Polyurethane (PU)Midsole. PU is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Using PU the soles of boots become lightweight and functionally flexible.
100% GORE-TEX® Professional Performance Comfort Footwear Membrane. Boots equipped with a GORE-TEX® Professional Performance Comfort Footwear membrane are permanently waterproof and are perfect for fluctuating temperatures.
The LOWA BREACHER BLACK GTX® MID is equipped with an exchangeable footbed for optimal individual adjustment and, in combination with the orthopaedic insoles ErgoPad® work:x and ErgoPad® work:h+ from BAUERFEIND®, is certified and approved for use as occupational footwear in accordance with DIN EN ISO 20347:2012
