Lowa Jannu Lo Hiking Shoe - Men's

Item #LOW0057 | 53 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Not so bad, but ...

By Ranked #831 - Men's Hiking Shoes October 26, 2008

I have used them on 5-days hiking (with some breaking done beforehand)and my feelings are somewhat controversial - sole is really very good and has really great traction (exactly as Ozzy said), leather lining is very comfy, but toe part is somewhat too narrow (at least for me) and contains excessive amount of stitching causing excessive pressure and rub on upper part of toes, especially on descends. As well toes area is not so well protected from impacts - I have injured my big toe by (unintentionally) hitting the stone. Hit was not so hard but toe is somewhat blue till now.

My wife started that trip as well in Jannu Lo (Women) shoes but has to gave them up after first day due to unbearable pain in right ankle. Then we bought for her a pair of Meindl hiking shoes in the first shop sports gear shop that we found and next 4 days were trouble free.
