Lowa Men's Zephyr MK2 MID - Coyote OP

• Article number: 310857-7.5-C

The ZEPHYR MK2 MID represents the next stage in the evolution of this legendary mission boot. The upper is made from a combination of water-repellent, tear-resisting suede, and an abrasion-resistant, breathable CORDURA® material. The highly breathable fabric lining is highly abrasion-resistant and ideal for use in dry or hot and damp climate zones. The MID-CUT upper provides the necessary support during fast roping and allows full freedom of movement during close combat. An innovative locking hook allows the lacing to be indi­vidually adjusted in the forefoot and ankle area. The dual-layer PU midsole with a MONOWRAP® frame surrounds and supports the foot like an exoskeleton.

The ZEPHYR MK2 MID is equipped with a LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE. Conceived by LOWA to meet the chal­lenges of real-world use, the profile design is made from an optimized rubber compound. The result is a rubber outsole with good traction in the back­country and off trail.

To provide effective cush­ioning and improved comfort, the sole of the ZEPHYR MK2 MID is bonded to the upper in a tech­nically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mold. 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.
