The mid-cut shoe is much more than your everyday footwear as its distinct design elements, woven LOWA logo and the quilted fabric cuff clearly demonstrate. The outdoor DNA of the trendy lifestyle model is hard to overlook. Fortunately. In this case, the qualities of the casual shoe are certainly much more than skin deep. The torsionally stable design consists not only of robust leather in combination with a fused foil material, but also includes a directly injected midsole made of two different layers of LOWA DynaPU®. The outsole is also distinguished by its bidirectionally arranged stud profile. This creates the necessary cushioning, optimal grip and, above all, perfect wearing comfort. It is a functional overall concept, one that offers the flexibility required for daily use and the stability needed for short treks on terrain.

A stroll is a relaxed outdoor walk. You can take a stroll in many different places: in the woods, in a park or in the city. Strolls are usually a form of relaxation. People take strolls to enjoy the sun, get some fresh air, to exercise or to simply experience a change of scenery. A walking cane frequently helps older people to take a stroll.
“Out of the four corners and out into the five senses.”

The bags are packed, and the entire family can now take off. Their destinations can vary greatly: a joint activity in nature, a visit to a place of interest or a trip to an attraction. An excursion is a way to break the routine and enjoy some recreation and free time. A family can consist of direct family members or friends.

The MALTA GTX MID Ws is equipped with a LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE. Conceived by LOWA to meet the challenges of real-world use, the profile design is made from an optimised rubber compound. The result is a rubber outsole with good traction in the backcountry and off trail.
The rubber sole LOWA® CAMARA Ws comes with a large profile design that offers a bigger contact surface. This feature delivers solid grip on easy terrain or during urban outings.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The MALTA GTX MID Ws is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.
High breathability
Designed with optimal breathability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.
“It’s important to me that my feet stay dry when I go on longer walks with my dog in all weathers. Of course, the footwear should nevertheless be very breathable. That means my dog Loui and I have a lot of fun even in wet weather.”
— Jacqueline Fritz | LOWA ACTIVE Team

To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of the MALTA GTX MID Ws is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.
Lightweight
This process uses a plastic called polyurethane. It is a very lightweight foam padding.
Cushioning
The plastic called polyurethane is a foam padding that has very good cushioning properties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.
A wide range of design options
Thanks to direct injection, the sole can be designed in a very large number of ways. The multifaceted properties of the materials used enable the shoes to be effective in a broad number of areas.
Nature provides us with all sorts of unique opportunities to experience unforgettable adventures and enjoy very special moments. More and more people are making a conscious decision to get back in tune with nature. But the decision by more and more people to get back in tune with nature also results in a greater and greater impact on the environment. You hear words like “awareness” and “mindfulness” a lot in discussions about this trend – but what exactly do people mean when they use them? An example: The practise of taking your trash home with you after a tour now comes second nature to many people. Such steps, no matter how tiny they may seem, can be the key to a mindful and sustainable outdoor lifestyle. But if you look around outdoors, you will certainly see many places that certainly have room for improvement.

In urban environments, in particular, the boundaries between modern city life and a spontaneous experience of nature are becoming increasingly blurred. Two worlds are merging into one: time for a new, hybrid generation of outdoor footwear that meets these precise requirements.
