The definitive boot for the rugged terrain of the New Zealand backcountry. The Tibet Evo offers a high degree of stability and support necessary for those hunting in the higher elevations or off trail in dense bush. The full length 5mm nylon shank makes gaining ground in steep terrain easier by 'climbing on the toes' and being able to kick steps into loose ground. Likewise, the rigidity of the Tibet Evo allows fast decent on moraine. However, with this level of support, walking on well groomed trail may prove less comfortable than a boot with more flex, such as the Lowa Renegade. But for those who demand performance and reliability in big terrain, the Lowa Tibet Evo is a solid option.

These are the perfect mix of old school, supportive boot with all the new technology. Really suited for the people carrying heavier loads, venturing off track, or even doing the odd bit of winter stuff. They fit really snug around the ankles and feel that they're really supporting the weight all the way through from the toe to the heel, and the heavier leather upper will last well if taken care of, even if you're super hard on your boots or a bigger person. Pairing these boots with a full waterproof sock is a non-negotiable for me to keep my feet dry as a bone. They do take a bit of time to break in properly, so wouldn't be the move if you need immediate comfort, but they're sure to stand the test of time.
