The Lowa Men's AL-X 22 Lo Mesh Hiking Shoes get you ready for the trail, the street, and everything in between. Hit the soggy trails on a fast and light backpacking adventure—these shoes' Gore-Tex XCR linings keep your feet dry and comfortable. Meanwhile, Lowa's innovative AL-X Mono-wrap construction takes advantage of a wrap-around, PU-injected midsole to give you enhanced breathability and support without added weight. Mesh in the AL-X 22 Shoe's split leather and Cordura upper give you even more breathability and can take the abuse of burly trails and the open road. Wherever your feet take you, you'll experience bomber purchase and traction thanks to the grippy AL-X Footprint outsole.
Bottom Line: Gore-Tex XCR linings and super-breathable materials make the Lowa AL-X 22 Mesh Lo Shoes equally great for sunny or super-wet days on the trail.

I wish they made these shoes without the stupid gore-tex lining. Gore-tex nullifies the benefits of nylon mesh uppers. Your shoe will no longer breathe or dry out unlike Gore's claims. Your feet will sweat and stay wet. It is also the weakest part of any shoe. Its "waterproof" only 'til you step in up to your ankle and will be compromised in less than a month where your foot bends. Once water gets in, you stay wet all day. (Gore-tex is also redundant and suffocating with leather shoes) Gore-tex also weighs more than no gore-tex, making you more tired and less agile, and more likely to fall. Its too "crunchy", heavy, and expensive for outerwear. On its behalf, its good foul weather gear for sailing in cold seas. I happily hiked the AT with no Gore-tex (and no "fleece" which is also garbage). Cool looking shoe though. Pardon my ranting, but I don't like that stuff.
Change me.
