DESCRIPTION:
The ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID represents the next stage in the evolution of this legendary mission boot. Its combination of agility, lightness and stability makes it ideal for use in military or police special units or by regular personnel. The MID-CUT upper provides the necessary support during fast roping and allows full freedom of movement during close combat. The upper is made from a combination of water-repellent, tear-resistant suede and abrasion-resistant, breathable CORDURA® material. An innovative locking hook allows the lacing to be individually adjusted in the forefoot and ankle area. The waterproof, highly breathable GORE-TEX Extended Comfort footwear laminate is ideal for use in moderate or relatively wet environments. The dual-layer PU midsole with a MONOWRAP® frame surrounds and supports the foot like an exoskeleton.
The ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID is certified as occupational footwear in accordance with EN ISO 20347:2012. It is anti-static and has a cold and heat-insulating sole complex. The outsole is not only anti-slip – it is also resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat.
FEATURES:
SOLE
LOWA® X-TRAC MILITARY
The sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The shoe provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain.
An outsole designed by LOWA with an optimised rubber compound to provide good grip.
MIDSOLE
100%
Polyurethane (PU)
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become lightweight and functionally flexible.
INSOLE
Approx. 9%
Polyamide
Polyamides are plastics that are synthesised and can be used to produce man-made fibres as a result. In addition to their toughness, polyamides are known for their form stability, tear and abrasion resistance and waterproof qualities. Polyamides are also elastic, very stretchy and high gloss.

UPPER MATERIAL

Suede leather
Suede leather comes from the flesh side of the hide. It has a looser fibre structure, a quality that creates a velvety surface and a light pile. Suede leather is particularly durable and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, suede leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.

Fabric
Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific characteristics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.
LINING MATERIAL
100%
GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear
Shoes equipped with a GORE-TEX extended comfort footwear membrane are permanently waterproof and are particularly suited for warm weather.
FUNCTIONS
A special frame design known as LOWA MONOWRAP® provides an extra degree of stability.
The shoe is equipped with an exchangeable footbed for optimal individual adjustment and, in combination with the orthopaedic insoles ErgoPad® work:x and ErgoPad® work:h+ from BAUERFEIND®, is certified and approved for use as occupational footwear in accordance with DIN EN ISO 20347:2012.
The forefoot and upper area can be laced in varying degrees of tightness. MORE …
The double-layer midsole is directly injected onto the footwear. The layers include carefully coordinated degrees of rigidity to create the best-possible comfort.
The shoe is equipped with lacing hooks with a closed design. The laces are guided securely and cannot slip out of their hooks. Closed lace hooks minimise the risk of the shoe getting caught on objects.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Injected Construction
To create optimal cushioning and the very best comfort, the soles of LOWA multifunctional shoes are directly injected. The complex injection process attaches the slip-lasted upper directly to the sole. This method creates shoes that offer optimal cushioning and are particularly lightweight.
