Lowa boots

LOWA is a prestigious German boot manufacturer with a heritage dating back to 1923. The brand was founded by Lorenz Wagner in Jetzendorf, Germany, starting as a small workshop producing authentic Bavarian oat shoes. Over the decades, it evolved into a global leader in the outdoor and mountaineering footwear industry, known for its high-quality construction and innovative 'cemented' and 'injection-molded' techniques.

Today, LOWA remains committed to European manufacturing. While the headquarters and core production remain in Jetzendorf, Germany, the company also operates significant production facilities in Italy and Slovakia to maintain its high standards of craftsmanship. The brand is celebrated for its 'Made in Europe' quality, which guarantees both performance and ethical labor standards.

In terms of ownership, LOWA underwent a significant change in 1993 when it was acquired by the Italian Tecnica Group. Under this ownership, the brand has expanded its global footprint while retaining its traditional German engineering roots. It is now a key part of an international portfolio of outdoor brands, specializing in performance-driven footwear for alpinists, hikers, and military personnel.
