Love them!

I was a bit unsure of these boots - I have been wearing trail runners for hiking for so long, making the Lady III’s seem very heavy and ‘clunky’. Took them out onto a very steep and difficult hike of unstable, rocky ground. By the time I finished I was very impressed. Very stable, comfortable and didn’t let me down with grip. They have got a couple of big hikes to do this year and I’m thinking I’ve got the right boots for the job.

They arrived in good order and look very nice. The fit is good I have not done a lot with these as yet but are my second pair and am sure they will give me many day's of comfortable use.

This is my third pair of these boots (first pair from previous generation), without looking after them heavily, they still held together (sole never fallen off), including after many creek (submerged in water) crossings. On my first pair, the rubber around the toe started peeling off after about 2.5 years (used them for three years intermittently until grip wore off), my second last pair had the sole wearing out within a year from extensive usage (still going good for day hikes). The fit is perfect for me with wide feet. The full leather has advantage of durability and is heavy. Being a heavy build, the weight is not an issue for me. The rigid level of the soles are essential for my needs, being a heavy build and when carrying a heavy pack. I use these on steep rugged terrain and flat sandy terrain. I wish these also came in a (understandably less durable) synthetic version for the hot climate I hike in (I would own both leather and synthetic), however the full leather Lowa Camino boot has not been an issue for me in hot climate and seem to breathe well. Break in time has always been quick, with only a couple of days hikes needed, plus wearing them around house initially.

Order was processed quickly and delivery had no issues. They are expensive and I have found that you do get what you pay for (excellent quality).

Great quality shoe. Good delivery and service!

Great boots. Fit perfectly out of the box. Light, comfortable and well made.

My third pair of Lowa footwear. Highly recommended.

Trained for 6 months, treating my boots about every 3 months cleaning as per directions from Lowa. I treated my Z8 boots again, a week before I walked the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port to Muxia between April - June 2024, around 1000 km all up including side trips. I was genuinely shocked to see my boots were totally waterproof the entire way - water was still beading off the leather when I got home to Australia. Couldn’t possibly ask for better performance than that. Lowa makes quality equipment !

Functional and comfortable

Very comfortable straight out of the box..
Best tramping boots I’ve purchased so far by a long way.

I sprained my ankle two days before I was to start a five day hike in Tassie. Wore these boots (had barely broken them in) and they were amazing. Despite a swollen and sore ankle these boots were so comfy and supportive and meant I felt confident walking in the sprain. Can recommend!

Just what I wanted

I bought a pair of these and didn't have time to break them in before a pig hunt in Cape York. Wore them for 7ks in 36deg heat. Didn't think about my feet once. Many deer hunts in Tassie later plus casual wear and they are still the best boots I have ever owned.

Great casual shoes that can handle a trail. Fit is true to size

Best boots I have ever worn

I was Issued a pair of Lowa combat boots in 2009 by the Royal Navy and I have been wearing them regularly for the last 15 years, had the sole replaced here in Australia 2 years ago, most comfortable boots I have ever owned.
