The best mountain hunting boots are sustainable and crafted with the utmost care. Hunters trust LOWA boots to last a lifetime.
SPONSORED CONTENT There are many factors to consider in your search for the best mountain hunting boots. It’s easy to get caught up in the details to find one pair that meets all of your specific and unique needs – insulated or non-insulated, tall or short, lightweight or hefty. But one thing every mountain hunter needs is trusted gear they can rely on throughout the most challenging conditions time and time again. If you are doing your research to find the best boots for mountain hunting, the last thing you want to do is start all over next season to find a replacement. Once hunters invest in LOWA mountain hunting boots, the work is done and the fun begins – you will enjoy years, even decades of adventure in just a single pair.
Handcrafted with Care
LOWA boots are handcrafted with the same thoughtful care and attention to detail that avid hunters dedicate to planning their next hunt. Master European cobblers obsess over every minute detail, ensuring perfection in every pair. As true artisans of their craft, these master cobblers only use materials of the highest quality to meet the highest standards. Because the entire line is made in the European Union, each boot is produced under the most stringent environmental, labor and material standards. That dialed-in manufacturing process is a direct reflection of their values as a company as a whole.
Designed with the Mountain Hunter in Mind
Though founded almost a century ago in 1923, the company continues to innovate and discover new ways to make the best boots possible. With inventive materials and technologies, LOWA boots are designed with the mountain hunter in mind. With features such as waterproof lining, full-length stabilizers that allow for full range of motion and support, and a full-length rubber rand for maximum grip, mountain hunters will feel comfortable and secure on any mountain range.
Aside from your firearm, your feet are the tools that make your hunting adventures possible. Because they are so critical to the success and enjoyment of your hunt, finding the right boot takes careful consideration. The best boots for mountain hunting prioritize secure footing, a reliable grip, comfort and sensibility. With rugged tested construction, these boots are made for hunting in the most extreme conditions and toughest terrain, all while feeling like a second skin on your feet.
LOWA offers a wide array of styles to meet the necessary requirements of different types of hunting and hunters. Ranging from the R-8 GTX Thermo built for especially icy, wet conditions of cold-weather hunting; the Renegade II N GTX Hi TF for early seasons in the field; the R-8S GTX Patrol for muddy terrain; and others – LOWA has something for every kind of hunter and his or her preferences. One of the most popular options amongst mountain hunters, however, is the super-stable Tibet GTX boot. With virtually no slip, ultimate grip and maximum comfort, the Tibet is a heavy-duty workhorse of a hunting boot.
With its extremely durable GORE-TEX lasted lining, the Tibet GTX is both waterproof yet breathable for hunting in unpredictable weather or heat during strenuous climbs. Extreme mountain hunting often requires carrying a pack of gear weighing more than 50 pounds. With this in mind, the Tibet GTX is designed with a full-length stabilizer to provide the ever-critical underfoot support. The special ankle flex feature ensures easy, comfortable hiking and prevents the dreaded and dangerous “ankle roll.” The C-4 tongue is strategically padded and contoured to wrap your instep in premium comfort. These features combined with its full-length rubber rand gives hunters secure footing in even the rockiest terrain and steepest inclines. These technologies work together to create the best mountain boots for hunting.
Built (and Re-Built) to Last a Lifetime
Most hunting boots, if used heavily and regularly, will wear out, though some last longer than others. Even if they still have a decent shape on the outside, the inside of the boots will eventually stretch or warp, causing discomfort or even blisters. For many mountain hunters, it is inevitable that you will have to purchase a new pair of boots, whether after just one or two seasons or five or six years. Tossing seemingly good hunting boots away is always a shame, and LOWA aims to make your boots last as long as possible with its Boot Repair/Resole Program, which ensures hunt after hunt with a single pair of boots.
When you buy a pair of mountain hunting boots from LOWA, they will take you around the world before you ever have to buy a replacement pair. As a company, LOWA values sustainability and limited waste, as do many hunters. The ultimate goal in investing in the best boots is to keep them on the trail and out of the landfill. That is the driving force behind LOWA’s Boot Repair/Resole program. While other companies across the hunting boot market offer a similar service, many outsource to a separate resole facility to repair your gear. However, as in every aspect of their production, LOWA goes above and beyond by sending your boots back directly where they were originally made in Germany. There the master cobblers essentially rebuild by hand the same boots that have taken you hundreds of miles and will take you hundreds more.
The Boot Repair/Resole program not only provides resoling but also new laces, footbeds, reconditioned leather uppers and rand or bumper replacement. If needed, they will also repair your stitching, eyelets, heel lining and hooks. Your treasured, trustworthy boots will return to you as if they were brand new, and ready to take you on many more adventures to come.
Top-of-the-line design, technology and manufacturing is at the forefront of the creation of every LOWA boot. If you value the performance and sustainability of handcrafted European gear, look no further than LOWA.
