LOWA Men's Ranger III GTX Wide - GORE TEX Boot

Is this the boot you've been dreaming about?

The durable & rugged Ranger III GTX is disguised behind a beautifully rich, embossed waxed Nubuck upper. It has been engineered for those who understand the need for a hardy boot that's capable of performing serious tasks in an uncompromising way.

A patented tongue stud/x-lacing system allows you to cross-lace around the stud to ensure that the tongue remains centred, whilst also offering better pressure distribution and if you're time-savvy, you will appreciate the innovative ball-bearing lace system that speeds up your time spent lacing boots. The C4 tongue has a patented, anatomical construction that will comfortably cradle your foot, especially over the instep.

A GORE-TEX lining provides sensational waterproof/breathable protection against the harsh elements. The lining is lasted to ensure great conformation over the foot, reducing bunching - thus providing a smooth fit without hot spots. A unique climate control system in the boot's lining allows air to enter, whilst expelling any heat & moisture. This is thanks to a series of perforations in the boot's cuff along with a thermal gradient which helps move moisture through the GORE-TEX lining and away from the foot.

The rich, waxed 2.2mm Nubuck leather upper offers a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing finish. The midsole is built from supportive polyurethane with SPS dynamic TPU elements which are designed to help control over-pronation and supination which in turn, reduces fatigue as well as potential injury though encouraging a correct gait.

The balanced footbed has a super breathable top layer as well as a slow-reacting foam which provides fit customisation. The footbed helps transport moisture away from the foot, minimising any friction & reducing fatigue. The nylon, medium-flex stabiliser is 5mm at the heel & 3mm at the forefoot. It is full length & full width. The outsole is durable VIBRAM Natural.
