Children quickly grow impatient once the first flakes of the year have fallen and wintertime adventures beckon. These are exactly the times when the job of tying shoes should not get in the way. This is exactly the reason that the new FIRO GTX comes with a practical dial-in lacing system that can easily be operated by children wearing gloves. The functional winter boot has been completely designed in other ways to meet the needs of small feet. The mid-cut shoe is not only made on lasts that have been created especially for children’s feet, but also uses a child friendly design. The waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX Partelana lining is particularly thick and prevents cold from creeping into children’s toes, the result of the heavy wool lining and the shoe’s insole. To provide comfort amid all the hilarity, the model comes with a directly injected midsole made of LOWA DynaPU® and an innovative support frame.

Lunch is wrapped, rucksacks are packed, and now it’s off to school. At school, children and adolescents are taught knowledge and information that will prepare them for life after school. Their time at school is spent doing the widest range of activities that are performed indoors and outdoors in nature.
“Every day is an adventure for my kids. These adventures naturally occur on the way to school and outside during recess. And, of course, on the playground after school. These activities really put our shoes to the test many times a day – and the shoes pass them with flying colours. Because the shoes are made in our European factories, I know that everything else will also be perfect. And this is exactly what I want to teach my children.”

Comfortable
No matter what activity may be planned and how long the walk to school may be, pupils’ shoes should definitely be comfortable. To ensure that every school day becomes a complete success, LOWA places special emphasis on fit.
Multifunctionality
Into the shoes and out into nature – multifunctionality is the key here, the feature that ensures school children are optimally equipped for every terrain they will encounter on their way to school and for their activities at school.
Robust
Bright sunshine or pouring rain – the weather doesn’t matter at all to people who like to head outdoors. That’s why LOWA boots are made of robust materials that provide the best comfort even in wind and weather.
A trip to the office or a few quick errands in the downtown pedestrian zone – many people live their lives in urban settings. The activities performed in a city can be multi-faceted. The range is broad: from work in the office, shopping trips or a sightseeing tour of a city at the weekend.

The bags are packed, and the entire family can now take off. Their destinations can vary greatly: a joint activity in nature, a visit to a place of interest or a trip to an attraction. An excursion is a way to break the routine and enjoy some recreation and free time. A family can consist of direct family members or friends.
“We never know how long we will be gone when we set off on a family excursion. Good, comfortable shoes are a must for the kids.”
— Steffi, a daily travel mate

Snow-covered trees and a white winter landscape – these are more than good reasons to head outdoors. A winter hike is a one-day tour done in icy or snowy conditions on easy trails. The tour can lead over either mountainous or flat terrain. Winter hikers generally use trails that have been cleared. The snow on them will be no deeper than ankle-high, so hikers don’t need snowshoes or mini-crampons to complete their tours.
“Winter hikes are something very special. You rarely run into anyone, and the natural sights you see are simply amazing. When I think about the footwear I need, comfort is naturally a priority. But the height of the upper and the lining material are also very important. When I set off on a hike through the snow, I’ll need a higher upper with an insulating lining. But if I’ll just be hiking through the woods, all I need is a normal MID-CUT boot with a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane.”

Comfortable
Comfortable footwear is essential for long distances covered on foot. This is why LOWA places such a high priority on exact fit, something that is perfectly designed to handle short or long strolls.
Stability
To ensure sufficient grip during hikes, both the sole and the upper should be stable.
Made of polyurethane (PU), the outsole of the FIRO GTX impresses users with a profile design that has been optimised with real-world challenges in mind. The strong combination of good cushioning behaviour and lightness turns the sole into an ideal footwear feature.
The LOWA® KIDS WINTER TRAC® comes with a sole design made of PU whose features include large studs and a special groove design in the front and heel areas. As a result, small winter fans are optimally equipped for romps in the snow.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The FIRO GTX is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.
High breathability
Designed with optimal breathability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.

To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of the FIRO GTX is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.
Lightweight
This process uses a plastic called polyurethane. It is a very lightweight foam padding.
Cushioning
The plastic called polyurethane is a foam padding that has very good cushioning properties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.
A wide range of design options
Thanks to direct injection, the sole can be designed in a very large number of ways. The multifaceted properties of the materials used enable the shoes to be effective in a broad number of areas.

Nature provides us with all sorts of unique opportunities to experience unforgettable adventures and enjoy very special moments. More and more people are making a conscious decision to get back in tune with nature. But the decision by more and more people to get back in tune with nature also results in a greater and greater impact on the environment. You hear words like “awareness” and “mindfulness” a lot in discussions about this trend – but what exactly do people mean when they use them? An example: The practise of taking your trash home with you after a tour now comes second nature to many people. Such steps, no matter how tiny they may seem, can be the key to a mindful and sustainable outdoor lifestyle. But if you look around outdoors, you will certainly see many places that certainly have room for improvement.

The days are getting longer and warmer again. Slowly, the last traces of winter blues fade away and the desire for a new adventure rises. The hiking season is just around the corner. It’s about time to lace up our hiking boots and explore new trails. But before we set off, it’s important to prepare properly and, above all, to check our equipment after its winter slumber.

The model FIRO GTX is produced with a special children’s last. These lasts are not simply mini-versions of the lasts used for adults’ feet. They have been specially modified to reflect the anatomy of children’s feet and reduced in size. In addition, the height and width of the heel, toe and instep areas have been modified.

“Children are not small adults. Their bodies are growing, and their movement patterns are much more natural. For this reason, it makes sense to develop shoes that enable them to get a kick out of physical activity. We cannot simply turn a shoe designed for adults into a shoe used by children. The needs and requirements are totally different.”

The LOWA PU outsoles set themselves apart with their reduced weight and very comfortable cushioning.
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become lightweight and functionally flexible.
Polyethylene is a semi-crystalline and non-polar thermoplastic resin that is, by far, the most widely used plastic in the world. Polyethylene is used in part as a component of man-made fibre/blended fabrics. It is used primarily to create comfort and insulate the foot from below.
Non-woven fabric is a collection of fibre of limited length, filaments or cut yarns. Used as a component/covering of feet beds, the layer of non-woven fabric absorbs the heat generated by the foot, creating a pleasant feeling of comfort even in cold weather.
Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific characteristics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.
Our synthetic fabrics made of such plastics as nylon, polyester, polypropylene and elastane (Lycra) are primarily used as design elements and protection for the upper due to their abrasion resistance and tear strength.
