Simple - our women’s boots have always been built to fit women’s feet andlegs. LOWA understands that it’s important to build a women’s boot with true women’s lasts and designboots with women’s-only features.Fashion designer, Diane Von Furstenberg may not be your typical customer but she’s a dedicated hiker thathas found her boot - LOWAs! She wears Renegades and Klondikes, and calls them “sexy in a weird way.”Here are a few examples of the special little details that make LOWA boots truly women-specific.- C4 padded tongue is comfy over the instep.

The very firsttime I had them on, we hiked up a mountain2.5 miles and back. I would have hesitatedto try that with another brand, but I hadconfidence in Lowa’s.From the beginning, the boots werecomfortable and fit like a glove. They providedexcellent traction, and after our four hour hike,my feet felt great. I can’t say enough goodthings about them.I wore my other pair of Lowa hiking bootsto a wedding last weekend ... how versatileis that?Thanks again, we LOVE Lowa!Regards,Carey K.Girl Power
