The LOWA Z-8N MK2 GTX PR is a high-top, waterproof tactical boot designed for demanding and varied conditions. The boot has established itself as a particular favourite amongst those joining the military, reservists and tactical sports enthusiasts – it is perfectly suited to a military environment and tactical gear. The boot is equally an excellent choice for law enforcement and work use, long days of walking and moving, hiking and hunting, when strong protection, good support and secure grip are needed without the feel of a heavy boot.
The popularity of the Z-8N MK2 among tactical sports enthusiasts and reservists is no coincidence. The boot meets demanding professional standards and is certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 20347:2012 standard, yet it is also practical and comfortable for extended recreational use. For those joining the army, the boot offers an excellent starting point – your feet get used to the boot even before service begins, making the transition considerably easier. For reservists, the boot is a reliable companion during refresher training and tactical exercises throughout the year.
The boot’s construction combines durability with comfort. The lower part of the upper is made of 2.2 mm nubuck leather, which protects the foot and withstands wear and tear even under heavy use. The Cordura on the back of the shaft provides flexibility and improves walking comfort even on long days. The GORE-TEX membrane and fabric lining form a breathable and practical combination that keeps feet dry in rain, slush and wet terrain. The boot is designed to withstand day after day, even in the toughest conditions.
The Z-8N MK2’s control is based on a sturdy construction and functional details. The LOWA-MONOWRAP construction wraps around the boot and supports the foot on uneven surfaces. The injection-moulded sole construction and shock-absorbing midsole make each step lighter and more comfortable when on the move. The LOWA TACTICAL Z TRAC outsole is designed to provide excellent grip in challenging conditions, and the sole’s features also include insulation and resistance to oil, petrol and contact heat. Closed lace loops keep the laces in place and reduce snagging on branches and equipment.
