Reviews & Ratings for Lowa Innox Pro GTX Lo Hiking Shoes - Men's — 2 reviews — Page 1

I wear a size 12 USA which has always been 11.5 in UK sizes. Yet this shoe shows 12 USA on the box but only is 11 UK. Since the fit is too tight in the mid section, I'm thinking the real USA size is 11.5 and they thought it was OK to round up the half size. Anyway I reluctantly returned the shoe as it appeared well made and just what I wanted except for the fit.

I’ve been wearing the Lowa Innox GTX Lo TF shoes for everyday activities and for hiking on easy trails. I thoroughly tested them on the Moesgaard Trail and concluded that I feel like I’m hiking in running shoes but with better support and stability which is indeed a great thing. Had I actually been wearing running shoes, I would feel the pebble stones under my feet but in the Lowa shoes I didn’t feel a thing.

I recommend the Lowa Innox GTX Lo TF shoes to those who need a pair of comfortable hiking shoes for technically easy trails (for rocky terrain you need hiking boots – for example the robust Lowa Renegade boot). If you often hike in warm and dry conditions, go for Lowa Innox Lo (without GTX) instead as this model does not have a Gore-Tex lining and is thus much more breathable. The best things about the Lowa Innox GTX Lo TF hiking shoes are their low weight, stability, support, traction and shock-absorption. The disadvantages are breathability (Gore-Tex) and price. The Innox shoes are at least 15% more expensive than similar products from brands such as Salomon, La Sportiva etc. However, competitive products do not provide as good performance as they utilize cheaper materials. Especially the PU midsole will amp up the price, regardless of brand.
