Afterpay – How it works
The Ranger Evo GTX® Wide boot is a waterproof, durable boot for stability and grip in steep and rocky terrain in variable or wet conditions. Features that increase comfort on your adventures include an anatomical tongue for quick and easy lacing, shock-absorbing midsoles, an SPS system that provides lateral stability and a GORE-TEX® membrane for breathable waterproof protection. All of this on top of a Vibram® App Trail Divo sole for easily ascending and descending in challenging terrain. The wide fit provides more room in the forefoot for a more natural foot splay, room for swelling and may suit conditions such as bunions or neuromas better than standard widths.

Beloved boot of backcountry enthusiasts! This boot consists of a sole with just enough flex at the crease to remain incredibly comfortable on track, and in off track scrambles with stability from the ground up. Suitable for pack weights over 25kg this rugged boot has a rand circling the boot protecting the nubuck suede from damage in off track environments. Metal balls in the forward lacing of the boot allow laces to slide smoothly achieving ease in tight boot lacing, paired with the lace lock in the centre tongue of the boot, you can ensure a secure comfortable fit in the relatively wide fit boot.

  • Last: LOWA WIDE (width)
  • Nubuck leather upper: 2.2-2.4mm full grain sanded nubuck leather upper is robust and durable to extend the life of your boots. It's also open pored for breathability while remaining fully waterproof.
  • GORE-TEX® lining allows for moisture and sweat to escape while preventing water from entering from the outside
  • Anatomically left and right shaped C4 Tongue reduces pressure on the instep and allows for improved flex and comfort
  • X-Lacing® Stud: a patented LOWA technology that holds the tongue in place horizontally and vertically thus reducing tongue movement and preventing pressure and blisters
  • Roller eyelets: small rollers in the metal eyelets allow for quick and easy lacing with minimal friction
  • Medium Flex Stabiliser provides sturdy underfoot support while retaining forefoot flex through a full length and full width Nylon Stabiliser (5mm at the heel, tapering to 3mm at the forefoot)
  • DuraPU® (polyurethane) midsoles have superior attributes to extend the life of the boots. Typically, more than 2.5 times more than EVA. They are a terrific shock absorber and rebound well for added cushioned comfort and will last longer on the trail. PU midsoles do not deform under heavy pack loads so you can carry more without compromising weight and flexibility
  • SPS (Supination-Pronation-Supination) System helps control over-pronation and supination (feet rolling inwards or outwards) which reduces fatigue and potential injury when covering long distances through encouraging correct gait
  • Vibram® App Trail Divo outsole features medium depth lugs for good grip on diverse terrain and a pronounced front profile which allows you to ascend with ease in challenging terrain. A pronounced heel break provides confidence in your descent as well. This outsole is resoleable.

The tongue is one of the most underrated components of a boot. A good one will stay in place, absorb the pressure well and you won't even think about it. A bad one will haunt you all trip. LOWA C4 tongues are made up of 15 parts per tongue. Anatomically-contoured for a natural flex that cradles the foot in comfort and promotes a faster break-in time. The benefit is that the C4 Tongue provides more comfort over the instep through engineered padding and instep flex notch.

X-Lacing® completely centres the tongue, secures it in place symmetrically, so the tongue remains firmly located with more instep comfort.

LOWA's guide to cleaning your boots:

  • Prepare by removing the insole to allow it to air and dry and remove the laces to allow you to reach tucked away corners
  • Remove the dirt from your boots with a brush under lukewarm running water. For heavily soiled boots use specialist footwear cleaning products or soap suds.
  • Increase the leather's water resistance: Cleaned boots are in an "open-pored" state and will soak up water. In order to "close" the leather again, an impregnating spray should first be used when they are still damp. Please note that proofing will only be fully effective 24 hours after application.
  • Maintain the leather's natural softness: Once your boots have been water-proofed they should also regularly have a water-based cream rubbed or polished into them (with a brush), especially when they have had a soaking. TIP... Apply more in the forefoot / flex zone area (it's like a hinge) and brush away any excess. Do this immediately following waterproofing. Leather that has not been treated in this way dries out, becomes brittle and cracks, leaving your footwear irreparably damaged. To prevent this happening, apply your leather care product using a cloth and then polish it off with a brush. By carefully warming the leather with a hair dryer, the care product will be absorbed even deeper into the leather. LOWA do not advise the use of oils or greases. Although they leave the leather very soft and almost waterproof, they reduce the stiffness and therefore the stability of the footwear. Furthermore, oils and greases also clog the leather pores, thereby preventing the leather from breathing (rubber boot effect). In the worst case scenario they can even dissolve the adhesives used in the footwear. DO NOT use care products containing: beeswax, animal fats and petroleum oils e.g. Dubbin, Neatsfoot Oil, Mink Oil and Sno-Seal, etc.
  • Give your boots ample time to dry: Never place boots to dry on a radiator, too near to a fireplace or oven, inside a car or in the trunk of your car. They should also not be left on the back step in direct sunlight; the ambient temperature which develops can be as bad as a heater or open fire and the UV perishes the randing.
  • Store your boots in a dry, well-aired place. Never store wet boots in damp rooms or the car as they will get mouldy.
