Lowa tactical boots ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID, Black

Tactical Boots LOWA ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID black suede/CORDURA® waterproof mid-cut stability

Tactical Boots LOWA ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID are mid-cut mission boots designed for fast movement, secure footing, and dependable support in military, police, and demanding field work. The upper combines water-repellent, tear-resistant suede with abrasion-resistant, breathable CORDURA® fabric, balancing durability with ventilation for long duty days. With a measured upper height of 150 mm and a stated weight of 1140 g per pair (UK 8), these tactical boots stay agile while still providing ankle support. Certified as occupational footwear to EN ISO 20347:2012, they are anti-static and built with a cold- and heat-insulating sole complex for variable conditions. The GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining provides permanent waterproof protection while maintaining high breathability for moderate and relatively wet environments. This membrane is engineered to move moisture vapour outward to reduce internal humidity and help manage overheating during high-output use. In practice, it supports dry feet and stable comfort when pace and weather both change quickly.

Features

• ➤ Waterproof & breathable: GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining keeps water out while supporting moisture management during active use.
• ➤ Durable upper: Water-repellent suede combined with abrasion-resistant CORDURA® improves tear resistance and long-term wear performance.
• ➤ Stability frame: MONOWRAP® structure supports the foot like an exoskeleton to improve lateral stability under load.
• ➤ Cushioned midsole: Dual-layer PU midsole is directly injected for coordinated rigidity levels and reliable step comfort.
• ➤ Grip on slick surfaces: LOWA X-TRAC MILITARY outsole is engineered for anti-slip traction on wet, oily, and uneven ground.
• ➤ Secure lacing: Locking hook enables separate adjustment in the forefoot and ankle area for precise fit control.
• ➤ Dimensions: 150 mm upper height (DIN EN ISO 20347:2012) and 1140 g/pair (UK 8) for a stable mid-cut profile without excessive mass.

These tactical boots are built for patrols, training, range work, and fast transitions on mixed terrain where footing and ankle support matter. They perform well on wet pavement, muddy tracks, and oil-contaminated industrial surfaces where slip resistance is critical, while remaining suitable for field movement and close-quarters tasks. The anti-static build and insulating sole complex support use across long shifts and changing temperatures. They also make practical work boots for structured outdoor duties, including alpine routes in Slovakia where surfaces can alternate between rock, gravel, and wet grass within minutes.

Materials and Care

• ➤ Suede maintenance: Brush dried mud off with a soft suede brush; avoid heavy soaking to preserve the leather structure.
• ➤ CORDURA® cleaning: Wipe fabric panels with a damp cloth to remove grit that can accelerate abrasion in flex zones.
• ➤ Drying method: Air-dry at room temperature and remove the footbed; avoid direct heat sources that can affect adhesives and PU components.
• ➤ Water repellency: Refresh the outer water-repellent treatment when wetting-out appears to support breathability and reduce surface saturation.
• ➤ Fit tuning: Use the locking hook to set independent tension in forefoot and ankle areas for stable movement without pressure points.
