Men's Tempest Lo
Reviewed by Djkmann, Aug 14, 2009

"Excellent shoes! I have worn mine just about every day for 2. 5 years now, with heavy daily use in harsh, dirty urban environments, extensive travel, as well as hiking. I just ordered another pair as back-up because I saw them on sale, but I still have several months until I wear the soles down too much."

"Best trail shoe I've used. Great support, perfect fit, and very durable. Absolutely no blisters from the very first trip onward (3700' hike/climb up Scotchman in Idaho).

I wear a size 14.5 and got the US size 15 (49.5 EU) and they fit *perfect*."

Unisex Tempest Lo
Reviewed by Rachel, Apr 03, 2007

"I wore these shoes for a thru-hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. I went through two pairs in the 2500 mile hike, with 1700 miles on the second pair and I am still wearing them. They did me across miles and miles of snow, lava fields, mud, rain, and nice duff and didn't fail me."

Reviewed by Chris Perry, Jan 05, 2007

"I have been a Lowa Tempest devotee for eight years. I always purchased from REI and seriously wear them every day and they last at least 18 months before the sole begins the wear down. The build quality, workmanship, and most importantly, the comfort is best in class."

Men's Tempest Lo
Reviewed by Michael, Dec 28, 2004

"I wear these on regular walks, on day hikes with Scout troop or interpreting history for school children in a local park. They are comfortable and fit my slightly wider feet.

I like Lowa. I had a pair of Lowa Alpspitz mountaineering boots that wore out after 30 years of regular service and multiple soles."
