LOWA Stiefel mittel Tibet LL

Für mich sind Lowa-Wanderschuhe außer Konkurrenz. Mein erster Lowa (Bergstiefel) ist 25 Jahre alt, hat zig-Tausend Kilometer auf allen möglichen Geländen vom Gebirge bis zum Stadtwald erlebt und die entsprechend abgelaufenen Sohlen wurden schon 4 Mal von LOWA neu besohlt, so dass er immer wieder wie neu war. Nun ist er durch und ich brauchte einen neuen. Mein Modell gibt es leider nicht mehr, also verschiedene Varianten ausprobiert:Mir ist wichtig:Außen und innen Leder (passt sich besser dem Fuß an und hat ein besseres Klima als Goretex..Natürlich ein gutes, rutschfestes Profil, guter Halt ohne Hin- und Herutschen im Fersenbereich (ich habe schmale Füße und Fesseln) und - ganz wichtig - eine gute Dämpfung.Der Lady Light bietet das und ist wirklich sehr hochwertig verarbeitet. Allerdings sollte man mindestens 2 Gr. größer kaufen (das war vor 25 Jahren auch schon der Fall). Ich habe normalerweise 39 und hier passt 41 von der Länge.Leider musste ich ihn zurückschicken, da er leider vorne an meinem Halux Valgus zu eng war.Für Frauen mit "normalen" Füßen kann ich diesen Vollleder-Wanderschuh uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Ich muss leider weitersuchen.

Schuhe sind sehr leicht. Sehen nicht globig aus. Sind auch im Schnee dicht. Ich habe schon einige Wanderungen mit dem Schuh gemacht. Sehr angenehmes Fußklima und guter Tragekomfort.

Hab das Modell LOWA Lady schon zum 3. Mal und bin immer sehr zu frieden. Die Passform ist einfach perfekt. Preis Leistung passt.Allerdings muss man das Model mind. eine Nr. größer bestellen. Ich habe normal Größe 41 benötige hier Größe 9 !!!

Die Schuhe sind sehr bequem, sehr leicht und vom sehr gute Qualität. Die Bestellung und die Lieferung war reibungslos.

Achat pour un membre de la famille qui fait beaucoup de randonnées, chaussures bien en cuir qui coûtent assez chères mais qui seront largement amorties dans le temps ! Ensuite, il est vraiment impératif de bien entretenir les chaussures afin qu'elles puissent durer dans le temps, c'est bien spécifié mais c'est très important sinon risque de fissures du cuir par exemple sil le cuir n'est pas entretenu ! Un "investissement" pour des amateurs de randonnées et marches régulières, très confortables !

Schnelle pünktliche Lieferung, Schuhe sind wie beschrieben, leicht und bequem, die Größe paßt, die Schuhe laufen sich fast von selbst. Die erste Wanderung steht an, bin optimistisch dass die Schuhe schnell eingelaufen sind.

Toller Schuh, leicht aber stabil mit einem guten Halt am Fuß. Habe eine Nr.größer bestellt es passt zum wandern genau.Qualität der Schuhe absolut gut. Schön ist auch das sowohl außen wie innen Leder ist dadurch hat man ein gutes Fußklima.Immer wieder👍

I had to change the insoles to make them more comfortable under the ball of my feet but otherwise they fit good.Good quality and excellent support for off-trail travel.I like the leather lining; no blisters.I wear them for work (size 10.5) in the bush but the Tibet GTX WXL (size 10) fit me better and I prefer those for hunting and hiking when I cover many miles in a day.Both are very sturdy for off-trail travel and both are good quality.I've worn these everyday at work (in the forest) for a few weeks now and I'm happy with their support and quality.I have highly recommended these for friends with regular width feet and the Tibet GTX WXL-Wide for wider feet.I a perfect world these (the LL) would come in a wide model.They're both somewhat expensive but they're both good quality and I expect they'll last for years.

Der Schuh ist von der Qualität sicher sehr gut. Leider habe ich nach mehreren Kilometern Wandern das Problem, dass mein rechter Zeh vorne anstößt und mir sehr schmerzt. Bei dem linken Schuh habe ich das Problem nicht. Schade. An der falschen Schuhgröße kann es nicht liegen, weil ich vor dem Wandern keine Probleme habe.

Dies ist mein dritter (nicht wegen der schlechten Lebensdauer, sondern ich wandere schon seit 30 Jahren) Wanderschuh von Lowa, ich hatte immer die Leder gefütterten und bin restlos begeistert. Im Sommer auch bei 35 Grad angenehm und im Winter warme Füße. Druckstellen oder Blasen nicht einmal während des Einlaufens...Dieses Modell LL hat keine Ösen im vorderen Fuß und ist insgesamt deutlich leichter, aber stabil und vor allem im Knöchelbereich gut stützend.Absolut empfehlenswert auch für Spaziergänge zu Hause im Flachland, man geht sicher und diese Schuhe sind bei norddeutschem Schietwetter unempfindlich. Normalerweise habe ich Schuhgröße 39, aber eine halbe oder ganze Nummer größer ist der Schuh immer noch gut in der Passform, bietet außerdem Platz für dickere Socken oder lose Einlagen.

This is my second pair of Lowa's. My first pair lasted just shy of 10 years. I backpack, hike, camp, and work outdoors a lot. I wear them all winter (in Buffalo) both in the city and out in the woods. So it goes without saying that I am not easy on my boots. I was so impressed with my old par in terms of comfort, water-proofness, and quality of construction, that I wasn't willing to compromise on my new pair. I looked around at other brands before buying this new pair, but found it very difficult to find much that compared in quality. My requirements were - all leather upper and inner, NOT made in China, waterproof, designed for backpacking and hiking, and constructed well enough to last 10 year in regular-heavy use. I have only had these boots for about a month, but so far have worn them hiking and hunting (in the snow and mud), and have loved them. They are build with the same quality of construction as my old Lowa's, but have some updated features that I like even more - higher rubber seal, locking lace cleats at top of foot, floating ankle lace hooks, and a lace "t" on the tongue that hold it in place. I love the glove leather inner lining (old ones had it too) I find it very comfortable, breathable enough, and MUCH more durable than fabric type linings. The one major difference between my old pair and these is that these have a nu-buck leather upper, as compared to a full-grain on my old pair. My old pair was stiffer, giving it a long break in period, but felt sturdier. I was concerned at first that these wouldn't have the same support and "bullet-proofness," but after hiking and hunting in them, I am happy with the ankle support and waterproof/toughness of the material. The only difference I can find is that these were comfortable right out of the box without needing a year of blisters before they were broken in!In my search for a pair of boots that I can count on for another 10 years, I found one other brand that seemed to fit the bill, and that is Alico. Alico is made in Italy, all leather, extremely high quality materials and construction, and not as expensive as the Lowa's. I decided to keep the Lowa's because the Alico's I looked at were designed a little bit more for backpacking specifically (MUCH stiffer, and didn't have the rubber seal/protection around bottom edge of foot.) The Alico's, although were less money and very high quality, would take about a year to break in, and didn't have as many features that fit my mixed-use requierments as the Lowa's. I almost wish I could afford to buy both and switch them up, both are examples of some of the highest quality boots available.

First let me thank Amazon. I tried to find this boot in my local stores but no one carried them. Also, with Amazon, I was able to order a size 12 and 13 to find the perfect fit. I kept the size 13 and returned the 12. Return shipping was free. Even if my local stores carried this boot, it is unlikely that they would have my size. In the past I've "settled" for the size they had, convincing myself if was the best fit. No a good plan.Now for the boot review. The quality is the best. No issues at all. The fit and comfort are perfect. I have taken two, four, and six mile hikes in this boot with no blisters or heel slippage. Recovering from an Achilles tendon injury, I was worried that a high top boot would irritate the tendon but that has not occurred. I believe the boot's flexibility is the primary reason. Again, no heel slippage or rubbing.This is a leather lined boot--no Gore-Tex--but my feet have remained dry. Now, I have not been in drenching rains, but past experience with other full leather boots give me confidence that my feet will stay dry in the wettest conditions.The boots are heavy compared to non leather boots, but they don't feel heavy when hiking. That's just my assessment, but I believe the comfort and support more than compensate for the weight.

Size: I ordered these boots a half size too large to accommodate the heavy backpacking socks I intended to wear with them, and to leave myself some toe room for the rough descents. This may seem counter-intuitive, but ground temperatures in the desert can reach 140 degrees. Thick socks provide the necessary insulation and padding that the environment demands. The boots are true to size; with heavy socks and 3rd-party insoles, fit like a glove.Weight: These weigh in at a startling 4.2 pounds, but after the first day of use, the weight was the furthest thing from my mind.Construction: Breathable, ventilated upper, leather with leather lining. Vibram sole with high rand. Built like a tank, rugged, solid, stiff.Comfort: Comfortable to wear all day.The Lowa Tibet LL boots are heavy backpacking boots, suited (and intended) for arid environments and pack loads in excess of 50 pounds. There are many features that you don’t find on most products on the shelf.Leather LinedThe Tibet LL is a leather-lined boot. This has numerous advantages over other types of linings, but there are two biggies. The first is that blisters are much less likely to occur because any sliding within the foot pocket will happen between your sock and the leather lining, not between your foot and your sock. If you’re used to wearing liner socks with your hiking and backpacking boots, you can safely leave them home because the boot itself is performing this task already. The second advantage is that leather has fewer natural crevices in which bacteria can linger, and so keeping them clean and fresh is much easier, even with near-constant use. This is further assisted by the excellent ventilation system that moves air through the boots to keep your feet dry and bacteria at bay. With good wicking socks (like Merino wool) and mid-day sock changes, your feet will stay dry and comfortable.Tongue StudAt the top center of the tongue is a metal stud, around which you criss-cross the laces. This lateral pull in opposing directions prevents the tongue from straying left or right, so the gusset doesn’t bunch. The stud also seemed very stable, and did not appear to twist or torque even when I cranked on the laces prior to a descent. The tongue itself is formed to fit around your shin and is comfortably padded, especially around the top.Locking EyeletsOne of the features that I really like is the pair of locking eyelets on each boot. As you’re lacing up your boots, the tension on the laces causes the locking eyelets to close. Once the lace is trapped, it will remain in that position until you've unlocked the eyelets. On boots without this feature, the lower laces tend to slacken (even if slightly) if the tension on the laces is decreased. The locks are very secure; you have to deliberately unlock the laces in order to get the boots off. A slightly exaggerated lip on the top of the eyelet allows you to easily flip the locks upward with your thumbs, freeing the laces to move again.Ball Bearing EyeletsWithin both pairs of lower eyelets are ball bearings that greatly reduce the friction between the lace and the eyelet, promoting longer life of the laces. The smooth action helps to ensure even tension, lessening the possibility that you’ll wind up with one lace significantly longer than the other after a few months of use.Full Vibram RandAlthough these boots are not waterproof, they have a full rand that will allow you to walk through shallow water and mud without concern. The high rand also protects the leather upper from scuffs, scrapes, and gouges from rough, rocky trails. The deep lugs and Vibram soles make for sure footing on uneven, loose terrain. No matter how rocky the surface, you won’t feel any jagged points through the soles of your feet. The boots absorb all the punishment, making long days of backpacking across mountains of rubble feel like a casual stroll. Whether you’re on a well-maintained trail or bushwhacking through the worst of it, your feet will be comfortable.Summary:Lowa's Tibet LL boots exceeded my every expectation, easily handled all the terrain I could find, and had plenty more to give. After five weeks and over a thousand miles of abuse, they still look almost new. Although they are on the expensive side, these boots are a solid investment because I am confident that I will still be wearing them 15 years from now. When I think about all the pairs of hiking boots I've managed to destroy, it occurs to me that I've spent thousands of dollars on thoroughly inferior footwear.It’s easy to be lured into the false economy of cheaper boots when you’re staring at price tags, but what really matters is that you’re getting comfortable, durable boots that you won’t need to replace any time soon.
