The LOWA Fortux Running Shoe is built for the trails that test every step

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The LOWA Fortux Running Shoe surprised me with how well it handled the transition between packed dirt, loose rock, and rooted trail without demanding any adjustment in stride or confidence. The rockered last keeps things moving forward efficiently on the climbs and the descents, and the high stack height absorbed the kind of repeated impact that starts to add up on longer efforts without making the shoe feel sluggish or disconnected from the ground."

Trail running shoes live and die on how well they handle the moment the trail stops being predictable, and the LOWA Fortux Running Shoe was built for exactly those miles. The LOWA TRAC Ultra outsole grips confidently across packed dirt, loose rock, roots, and wet surfaces, while the rockered last geometry keeps forward momentum rolling efficiently through the varied terrain that longer trail runs tend to deliver. This is LOWA's first serious move into trail running footwear, and it brings the same construction standards the brand has applied to mountain boots for decades.

The seamless Reptex upper with PU coating resists abrasion without adding weight, keeping the shoe light at 1lb 6oz while standing up to the repeated scraping and flexing that trail running puts on an upper over time. DynEVA foam in the midsole handles both cushioning and energy return across a high stack height of 32.5mm at the heel, absorbing the shock of long descents while springing back on the climbs. The 6mm drop supports a natural stride without forcing any dramatic adjustment for runners coming from road or light trail shoes, and the ATR footbed and neutral support profile work together for comfortable, efficient long-distance movement across varying terrain.
