Women's Boots

LOWA walking boots for women have been crafted specifically to suit a woman’s foot. We use a specially made shoe last that offers a differently shaped instep and area around the foot to enhance comfort and stability.

That’s not all: our hiking boots for women utilise several technologies to maximise comfort and minimise the risk of injury. They include:

• Two Zone Lacing - a number of our women’s walking boots have independently adjustable lacing zones at the forefoot and the upper. This improves individual fits and provides better adjustments to enhance personal comfort.
• Waterproof with Gore-Tex - LOWA boots use Gore-Tex, a highly breathable and waterproof lining material. If you’re searching for waterproof women’s walking boots, LOWA offers a huge range.
• LOWA Monowrap Support Frame - many of boots use a support frame that provides a three-dimensional cradle to guide and support your foot over uneven ground. It’s made of PU, which provides improved support while remaining lightweight.
• Double Injection - a complex injection-moulding process is used to improve comfort and cushioning on our boots. Liquid PU is injected into a mould which ensures the sole and upper are bonded together.
• Vibram Soles - many LOWA walking boots for women use Vibram Soles, one of the world’s leading brands for high-quality soles. They use rubber blends and sole units to perfectly match the boot to its intended use.

LOWA hiking boots for women are available in a huge variety of colours, depending on the boot you choose. Our best-selling Renegade Evo GTX Mid Ws is ideal for hillwalking and comes in a number of different colours options.

The general rule of thumb for finding the right size walking boot is that there should be a finger width of space between the back of your heel and the shoe - roughly half an inch. Your walking boot shouldn’t slide at all and there needs to be wiggle room for your toes at the front of your boot, which is especially important when going downhill in particular.

Yes, LOWA offers wide-fit walking boots for women and narrow-fit walking boots for women.

Many of our popular styles come with alternative sizing for those with wider or narrower feet. For example, the best-selling Renegade Evo GTX Mid Ws comes in two extra variations for wide and narrow feet, the Renegade Evo GTX Mid Ws S (narrow) and the Renegade Evo GTX Mid Ws W (wide).

Your walking boots for women should fit snugly, but they shouldn’t be tight and need to offer wiggle room for your toes.

The best way to find the right size for your hiking boot is to try them on at the end of the day after your feet swell. It’s also a good idea to try your boots on with the socks you plan on wearing in the boots.

At LOWA, if your boots don’t fit right, you can return them for free within 30 days.

The weight of different models of walking boots will vary, depending on the materials used and what the boot is designed for. Women’s hiking boots typically weigh around 900g on average, with some lightweight options like the Maddox Pro GTX Mid Ws coming under that. Trekking boots will typically weigh more due to their extra support and more physical terrain demands.

This will depend on your desired use case. This will depend on your desired use case. When carrying a heavy backpack, a stiffer, heavier boot is often required to offer more support. Equally, if you plan on facing tough winter conditions, heavier mountaineering boots are ideal. But if you plan on hiking over flatter terrains, you can afford to have a more lightweight shoe.

If you plan on hiking on steep terrains, such as a hill, it’s important to use hiking boots. Unlike trainers or even hiking sandals, hiking boots provide better ankle coverage and stiffer midsoles. This is crucial for avoiding injury as walking up & down steep inclines pushes most of your body weight onto your ankle joint.
