The LOWA Z-8S MK2 GTX PR is a high-cut, waterproof boot that has become one of Finland’s most popular and essential hunting boots. The brown colour blends naturally into the forest landscape and is perfectly suited to hunting needs. The boot has earned its place as a trusted companion for Finnish hunters in varied terrain conditions – in damp autumnal forests, rocky terrain and on long days of stalking, when durability, support and waterproofing are required without compromising on comfort. In addition to hunting, the boot is ideal for hiking, camping and other active outdoor pursuits where high-quality footwear is required to perform at its best.
The popularity of the Z-8S MK2 among Finnish hunters is based on practical experience. The boot meets demanding professional standards and is certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 20347:2012 standard, yet it remains practical and comfortable even during long days of hunting. When the hunt lasts from morning to evening and the terrain varies from dense spruce forest to open bogs, the boot keeps your feet dry and your step sure all day long.
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 your feet dry in rain, slush and wet terrain. The boot is designed to withstand day after day, even in the harshest conditions.
The Z-8S MK2’s stability 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 good 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.
