Lowa Innovo GTX Mid Hiking Boot - Men's Grey/Petrol, 8.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like this boot for hikers who want something light and athletic but still supportive. It feels stable under a pack, grips well on mixed terrain, and the GORE-TEX lining keeps my feet dry without overheating. It’s a great middle ground between a trail shoe and a full backpacking boot.""When our hikes call for all-day comfort without the bulk of a heavy backpacking boot, we lace up the Innovo GTX Mid Hiking Boot from Lowa. Designed to bridge the gap between trail shoes and traditional hikers, it moves with an athletic feel while still delivering the stability we want for day hikes and shorter backpacking trips. From rolling forest trails to rocky climbs, this boot feels nimble, confident, and ready for varied terrain. The split leather and fabric upper balances durability with breathability, while the waterproof GORE-TEX lining keeps feet dry in wet conditions. Underfoot, the double injection DynaPU midsole combines a softer cushioning layer with a firmer supportive layer for lasting comfort and rebound. A heel brake and aggressive LOWA TERRA TRAC outsole add control on descents and reliable traction on loose or uneven ground, making the Innovo a versatile go-to for modern hikers."
