The demands of hikes lasting several days mean you need to plan cleverly for what you need. The Lowa Mauria Gore-Tex shoe for women tops the list of must-have essentials. A blend of technical sophistication, it is designed to respond effectively to the constraints of all types of terrain.
Made to accompany you through the most changeable weather conditions, it features a Gore-Tex membrane. You can rely on its waterproof qualities, which are both reliable and high-performance, keeping you dry in all circumstances. The breathable properties of this coating provide an optimised air intake to protect you from overheating.
Over the miles, you'll appreciate the qualities of its nubuck upper, a highly abrasion-resistant material with a rough appearance. The mid-top profile is lengthened to match the characteristics of the female foot and allow you to move with ease. Its C4-Tongue and asymmetrical cushioning accommodate your foot in comfort, in addition to providing strategically-targeted support. This shoe is equipped with an extremely robust rockguard that gives you the ability to tackle rocky trails without risk of discomfort or injury. You benefit from the FlexFit upper, a special structure that promotes a natural stride. This flexibility zone facilitates your adventures and helps you save the energy needed to extend your exercise as much as you like.
Its ingenious 2-Zone Lacing is a lacing system divided into two distinct parts to adapt to the anatomy of your foot. You'll find all the brand's expertise in terms of longevity in the Rolling Eyelets, they minimise friction when lacing to considerably increase the durability of your laces. Each eyelet is individually fixed, using Lowa Flex technology, to keep unpleasant pressure sensations to a minimum without neglecting support for the instep. No matter how intense your adventures, the X-Lacing innovation ensures an unwavering tongue hold so nothing spoils your adventures.
You get the most out of your outdoor activities with the midsole that incorporates a PU cushioning to takes care of absorbing the shocks caused by the inevitable impacts on rough paths. The Medium Shank insole offers a subtle blend of stability and flexibility to give you just the right balance throughout your training.

Technologies
-
Gore-Tex
A guaranteed protection against the elements, even in heavy rain or snowfall. Gore-Tex technology makes the shoes waterproof and breathable.
-
Lowa Flex
To ensure the flexibility of the eyelets, each one is attached individually. These are made from leather or textile materials, whose soft surface prevents friction zones. Thanks to the mobile arrangement of the eyelets, it is also possible to lace up to the toes without creating too much pressure on targeted points. Conversely, the tongue is optimally positioned.
-
FlexFit
When the upper of a walking shoe is flexible, the foot's movement improves. The user saves energy, especially when climbing, and enjoys a higher level of comfort. Consequently, Lowa has incorporated a flexible zone and a Lace Loop lacing system in this flexion area. The repositioning of the eyelet and the use of a flexible tightening hook enhance heel support and facilitate foot flexion.
-
C4-Tongue
This uniquely designed tongue significantly enhances the shoe's comfort. It incorporates more padding on the outer part of the foot while the upper end is much softer. This asymmetrical padding provides optimal support in different areas of the foot. To match the anatomical shape of the foot, the notches at the ankle are placed higher on the inside than on the outside. A flexible fold has been added to the inside.
-
2-Zone Lacing
Thanks to the dual-zone lacing system, the forefoot and the upper foot each have their own lacing zones. As a result, the shoe fits perfectly to the anatomy of the foot.
-
X-Lacing
An optimal positioning of the tongue without pressure zones or slipping: this is what the X-Lacing technology offers. This special lacing system secures the tongue both vertically and horizontally. The result is complete independence between the instep height and the lacing system, making the lacing perfect regardless of the foot's shape. In this technology, the pressure from the laces is distributed between the eyelets and the tongue.
-
Roller Eyelets
Small balls installed in the eyelets allow the laces to pass smoothly and flexibly while minimizing friction to the maximum.
-
Medium Shank
This stable insole strikes the right balance between foot support and shoe flexibility, ideal for hikes with light gear.
-
Vibram Apptrail W
Outsole shaped to match women's anatomy with a very pronounced forefoot for better grip during descents. Its profile provides excellent traction thanks to an increased contact surface. The foot's rolling motion is as natural as possible.
