Lowa Taurus Pro GTX Mid hiking boots

Lowa is a prestigious German footwear brand founded in 1923 by Lorenz Wagner in Jetzendorf, Bavaria. The brand is renowned for its high-performance outdoor footwear, particularly its hiking and mountaineering boots. The specific model shown is the Lowa Taurus Pro GTX Mid, a lightweight and versatile hiking boot designed for day trips and moderate terrain. It features a waterproof Gore-Tex lining and Lowa's proprietary 'DynaPU' midsole technology for superior cushioning.

While the brand's heritage is deeply rooted in Germany, Lowa has expanded its production capabilities across Europe to maintain its high quality standards under EU regulations. Today, most of their hiking and trekking models, including the Taurus Pro series, are handcrafted in their large production facility in Slovakia. Since 1993, Lowa has been part of the Italian Tecnica Group, though it maintains its headquarters and design operations in its original home of Jetzendorf.
