Lowa Vertex

Lowa Vertex GTX Hiking Boot - Womens

Lowa Vertex GTX Hiking Boot - Womens

Rating for this product: 2 July 7, 2005

I love Lowa boots; they fit my feet like gloves and the Vertex was no exception. They have bedroom slipper comfort right out of the box. I do, however, have two major complaints.
1. They are billed as a backpacking boot. They would only work well on a trail. They just aren't rugged enough to survive many hours of talus scrambling. Too many seams.
2. They are billed as waterproof. When I put my foot (briefly) into a swollen Sierra stream (water barely over the foot part of the boot -- and I had gaiters on) the water came oozing into the boot from all around the foot section. I thought the entire purpose of Gore-Tex boots was their "wonderful" waterproof feature. My old leather Lowa Scouts perform many times better upon immersion into water. At least then my feet had a significant chance of staying dry. When I took off the boot the toe portion of both socks was soaked! Good thing I was on a day trip.
