Long Haul Comfort
Challenging yourself with one of Australia's long distance treks?
Look no further than the durable ultimate comfort duo… the men’s Camino GTX® and women’s Mauria GTX®.
These boots are designed for walks such as the Overland Track, Cape to Cape Track and The Wilderness Coast Walk where you need stable footing, ankle support and ultimate comfort when trekking for up to 5 days.
Built to withstand rough weather conditions, the Camino and Mauria are perfect boots for use on and off trail. The high ankle support will allow you to carry a decent load of up to 20kgs and navigate moderate to difficult terrain that features rocks, scree and uneven ground.
With a moderately stiff sole and a durable LOWA flex upper construction, the Camino and Mauria allow for lateral stability without compromising forefoot flex. So you can feel supported as your foot rolls forward in a natural motion. The Mauria also features padded edging on the back of the leg (designed for a women's longer calf muscle) and is built on a women’s specific last for added comfort and the perfect fit.
