Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Wear the multisport Lowa Tempest Lo Lady Hiking Shoe for women as you hike, approach the climbing crag, or trek around town. The Vibram sole grips the ground so you can move confidently on uneven, rocky terrain, and the leather upper has enough style that you can wear these shoes to work. The Tempests have tiny perforations in the cuff lining that let air enter and ventilate working feet. Plus, as you walk, the pump action of your stride pushes vaporized perspiration out of these holes to ensure your feet stay dry. Walk for miles in the Lowa Tempest Lo Shoes, thanks to the shock-absorbing PU mid-sole. This shoe runs large. Select a half size below your normal shoe size."

"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."

"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."

"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."
