"Lowa built the Mountain Expert GTX mountaineering boot to travel lightly and deliver confidence-inspiring grip and stability. The Vibram Mulaz sole provides longitudinal stability and is crampon-compatible. This sole grips rock and snow with authority, and the PU wedge midsole provides shock absorption for increased comfort during the long haul. A Gore-Tex lining provides waterproofing and offers increased insulation. Its upper is made from abrasion-resistant split leather for precise break-in and durability. The extra-high rubber rand adds stability and increased weather and impact protection."
