Lowa Zephyr MK2 MID TF Men's Tactical Boots, Desert

The ZEPHYR MK2 MID represents the next stage in the evolution of this legendary mission boot. The upper is made from a combination of water-repellent, tear-resistant suede and abrasion-resistant, breathable CORDURA® material. The highly breathable fabric lining is highly abrasion-resistant and ideal for use in dry or hot and damp climate zones. The MID-CUT upper provides the necessary support during fast roping and allows full freedom of movement during close combat. An innovative locking hook allows the lacing to be indi­vidually adjusted in the forefoot and ankle area. The dual-layer PU midsole with a MONOWRAP® frame surrounds and supports the foot like an exoskeleton.

The ZEPHYR MK2 MID is certified as occu­pa­tional footwear in accordance with EN ISO 20347:2012. It is anti-static and has a cold and heat-insu­lating sole complex. The outsole is not only anti-slip – it is also resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat.

Certified working boot according to DIN EN ISO 20347:2012

TECHNICAL DATA

SOLE
LOWA® X-TRAC MILITARY
LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE
An outsole designed by LOWA with an optimised rubber compound to provide good grip.

SLIP RESISTANCE
The sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The shoe provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain.

MIDSOLE
100% Poly­urethane (PU)
Poly­urethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become light­weight and func­tionally flexible.

INSOLE
Approx. 9% Polyamide
Poly­amides are plastics that are synthesised and can be used to produce man-made fibres as a result. In addition to their toughness, poly­amides are known for their form stability, tear and abrasion resistance and waterproof qualities. Poly­amides are also elastic, very stretchy and high gloss.

Approx. 90% Poly­urethane (PU)
Poly­urethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become light­weight and func­tionally flexible.

UPPER MATERIAL
Approx. 80% Suede leather
Suede leather comes from the flesh side of the hide. It has a looser fibre structure, a quality that creates a velvety surface and a light pile. Suede leather is partic­ularly durable and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, suede leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.

Approx. 20% Fabric
Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific char­ac­ter­istics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.

LINING MATERIAL
100% TEXTILE LINING
A textile lining is pleasantly light­weight.

FUNCTIONS
CLOSED HOOKS
The shoe is equipped with lacing hooks with a closed design. The laces are guided securely and cannot slip out of their hooks. Closed lace hooks minimise the risk of the shoe getting caught on objects.
ORTHOTICS CERTIFIED
The shoe is equipped with an exchangeable footbed for optimal indi­vidual adjustment and, in combination with the ortho­paedic insoles ErgoPad® work:x and ErgoPad® work:h+ from BAUER­FEIND®, is certified and approved for use as occu­pa­tional footwear in accordance with DIN EN ISO 20347:2012.

TWO ZONE LACING
The forefoot and upper area can be laced in varying degrees of tightness.

DOUBLE INJECTION
The double-layer midsole is directly injected onto the footwear. The layers include carefully coordinated degrees of rigidity to create the best-possible comfort.

STABILITY FRAME
A special frame design known as LOWA MONOWRAP® provides an extra degree of stability.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Injected Construction
To create optimal cush­ioning and the very best comfort, the soles of LOWA multi­func­tional shoes are directly injected. The complex injection process attaches the slip-lasted upper directly to the sole. This method creates shoes that offer optimal cush­ioning and are partic­ularly light­weight.
