Lowa Z-8N C GORE-TEX Boots Black - 46.5
High, modern black army boots with a Gore-Tex membrane, shock-absorbing sole, and excellent fit. This is the great original boot that was the basis of our Särmä TST M19 Combat Boots. In addition to military use, it is excellent for hiking, hunting, and other trekking in the wilderness. Black hiking boots with a Gore-Tex membrane Thick nubuck leather and cordura Injection-molded PU multicomponent sole Speed lacing Weight c. 645 g (1.4 lbs) per shoe (EUR 43.5/US 10) Features Z-8N is light and maneuverable but a suitably stiff military boot for harsh conditions. The shaft height is c. 20 cm (8"), so hostile elements stay quite well outside. These boots can be used with the heaviest of loads, and they are perfect for tough military and outdoor use. However, they are also great everyday boots during the wet season. The fit is very nice. Thanks to the shock-absorbing midsole and the padded insole, marching is suspiciously pleasant in these. Compared to hook lacing, speed lacing with tunnel loops is more straightforward and won't get tangled up, which prevents you from tripping on them. What happened to Särmä TST M19 Combat Boots? Reality simply hit the fan. The minimum quantities for custom items from Lowa are so large that trying to sell such a mountain of boots takes ages, and at the same time our warehouse drowns in shoes.

Still the best boots out there. Slightly heavier than the Zephyr but just as comfortable and possibly even sturdier. This is my fourth pair of Lowa and frankly, there is no other shoe or boot I'd rather wear. I use them for pretty much anything from walking around town to technical trails in the mountains and in all seasons; even in the harsh Canadian winters, they keep me comfortable in temperatures as low as -20.

Great product. Boots ar light, but durable. I have used them in wet snow conditions and they are keeping moisture out very well. Maybe lacing system could be better with hooks in upper part in situations when speed of putting your shoes on is essential. Other than that I can not imagine any downside.Shipping to LV was fast.Overall - I am very satisfied with product and service.

Excellent boot with great support, well constructed and comfortable. true to size. If these last as long as the previous pair they represent great value for money. Very pleased.had to wait a while for these to become available again but very prompt delivery once they were in stock.5 star ratingMike C

Previously I've worn the Combat GTX which are amazing boots. I've always found Lowa to be brilliant value for money, especially considering I got 6 years out of my last pair of them. I decided I needed something a little lighter for the summer and ordered these. Definitely impressed by them. Whilst they aren't as high in the leg as the Combat GTX, the support is definitely there and the way the sole cradles your foot is amazing. I've always replaced my insoles with ones from Superfeet but I don't feel the need to with these boots. Given they're on my feet for at least 12 hours a day, they are just as comfortable at 2000hrs as they were at 0730 in the locker room. Lowa boots are definitely a case of you get what you pay for. Colleagues at work sometimes struggle to ... MorePreviously I've worn the Combat GTX which are amazing boots.

Colleagues at work sometimes struggle to get a year of a pair of Magnums. Like I said previously, I get at least 4 years out of a pair of Lowas. When you consider our boot allowance is £98 per annum, I'm in profit and have a far better boot. Also, I'm diabetic and I find I have no foot issues with using these boots. All in all, I would recommend these to anyone needing a good sturdy boot.
These boots live up to the 5 star reviews. I owned the Lowa Combat GTX preciously, and these are great boots however they are heavy and bulky. I bought these for a more lightweight comfortable boot, better suited for running and mobility. These definitely do that, they aren't far from wearing a pair of trainers. Very comfortable and look the part too!
Customer service was great. I ordered them with 2 day shipping, summit hut called and let me know that they may not be there in two days and let me know the situation almost immediately. The boots did show up on time after all. And out of the box they are the most comfortable and super light boots I've ever worn for military purpose. We will see how they hold to wear and tear on flat range and field environments yet. But I'm very happy with my purchase.
I am the training sergeant and SRT Commander for a sheriff office in Ohio. I also instruct in a police academy, so I spend a lot of time on my feet, running and climbing over various types of terrain and obstacles. I have two pairs of these boots, a Gore-Tex pair and a non Gore-Tex pair for summer. I have worn many other brands, Soloman, Asolo, Merrell and Danner to name a few. All of those are good boots but none of them are as comfortable for full days on the range or trudging through rugged terrain like these. These boots are worth the premium price. My Gore-Tex pair I have had now for about three years and they are still as comfortable as the day I got them. They require no break in period, they are just incredible boots period. I would like an 8 inch version ... MoreI am the training sergeant and SRT Commander for a sheriff office in Ohio.

I have been looking for an upgrade to my existing boots, I wanted a boot that looks ok to wear in public without looking too military. Good enough to walk hundreds of miles on all terrains and flexible enough to wear as motorbike boots. These bad boys do the job. They look great, are very comfortable, have awesome ankle support when you have a pack on, are waterproof, and have great grip on the ground. They are expensive but after doing my research on the boot I could not find one review where someone had a problem with them. Patrolstore needs to add Klarna or some other means to help spread the costs for us mortals, until then the credit card took the hit.Do it, nut up and buy a pair.... you wont regret it.
To start off I was unsure about this model of boot, my previous boots were the Lowa Patrol boot, upon receiving my Lowa Z-8N GTX Black boots I tried them on and they felt like I was putting on a pair of trainers, they were comfortable from the get go and lightweight, as a Retail Security Officer I'm on my feet all shift and have the occasional bit of running to do. These boots allow me to run without feeling like I've got weights on my feet like the patrol boots. The only two downsides I have found for these boots is that I cannot polish the boots to a near mirror shine like I could with the patrols and that they have a fabric lace loop at the transition point to the upper of the boot in my opinion I'd prefer all lace loops to be metal. That being said I still need ...

That being said I still need to use the Lowa active cream on them and see what does with them when I get time. I look forward to seeing how these boots hold up over time, the soles on my patrol boots lasted 4years without being replaced, if the Z-8N GTX's can last that long I'll be happy, the tread on these boots is holding up well on the flooring tiles at my work even when they get wet.
I own a few of pairs of quality hiking boots. I needed a pair for dry, hot Egypt for exploring the ancient sites. These are the best fitting pair of boots I have ever tried. I wear a size 8 and these are a perfect fit. Arch support is in the right place, not too wide and, super comfortable out of the box. Very high quality construction. Would highly recommend. These boots will go any distance.
