ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID is the latest reinterpretation of a model that has now become legendary. Its balanced relationship between agility, lightness and stability makes it perfect for use by special forces units or the police, but also by regular combat forces. The MID-CUT high shaft provides the necessary support in fast rope operations and does not limit movements even in hand-to-hand combat. The outer materials used are a combination of water-repellent and tear-resistant suede and CORDURA®, a breathable and particularly abrasion-resistant material. An innovative clamp hook allows individual adjustment of the lacing in the forefoot and ankle area. The GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear layer, waterproof and highly breathable, is perfect for use in contexts with a temperate and rather humid climate. The 2-layer PU midsole with MONOWRAP® structure surrounds and supports the foot like a sort of exoskeleton.

ZEPHYR MK2 GTX MID is certified as professional footwear according to EN ISO 20347:2012, is antistatic and equipped with a complex sole that insulates both cold and heat. The tread not only boasts excellent anti-slip properties, but also resists contact heat, oil and fuels.

TECHNICAL DATA

SOLES
LOWA® X-TRAC MILITARY
SLIP RESISTANCE
The sole meets the most stringent requirements for slip resistance, which mainly depends on the design and rubber compound of the sole. The footwear offers ideal slip resistance on smooth, wet and oily surfaces but also good grip on the ground.

LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE
A sole designed by LOWA with a rubber compound optimized to offer good grip.

MIDSOLE
100% Polyurethane (PU)
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has excellent shock-absorbing properties and is therefore mainly used for midsoles. Thanks to the PU content, the soles become lighter and more flexible in their function.

INNER SOLE
Approx. 9% Polyamide
Polyamides are synthetic plastics that can be used to produce synthetic fibers. In addition to high resistance, their main characteristics include the ability to maintain shape, resistance to tears and rubs and waterproofness. Furthermore, polyamides are elastic, very elastic and very shiny.

Approx. 90% Polyurethane (PU)
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has excellent shock-absorbing properties and is therefore mainly used for midsoles. Thanks to the PU content, the soles become lighter and more flexible in their function.

EXTERNAL MATERIAL
Approx. 80% Suede
Suede represents the bottom layer of leather and is recognized by its stringy, pliable structure that produces a soft, lint-free surface. Due to its rough texture, suede is particularly durable and has very open pores. Depending on the desired look, the suede can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.

Approx. 20% Fabric
The specific characteristics of our natural and synthetic fabrics allow for optimal heat and moisture management and their close-fitting structure provides products with exceptional comfort.

LINING MATERIAL
100% GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear
Footwear equipped with a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear membrane has long-lasting waterproofness and is particularly suitable for high temperatures.

FUNCTIONS
STABILITY FRAME
The special structure called LOWA MONOWRAP® guarantees even more stability.

ORTHOTICS CERTIFIED
The shoe is equipped with an exchangeable footbed for optimal individual adjustment and, in combination with the orthopedic insoles ErgoPad® work:x and ErgoPad® work:h+ from BAUERFEIND®, is certified and approved for use as occupational footwear in accordance with din EN ISO 20347:2012.

TWO ZONE LACING
You can lace the forefoot area and the upper in different ways.

DOUBLE INJECTION
The two-layer midsole is injected directly onto the scarpa . The layers have degrees of hardness harmonized with each other to obtain the maximum level of comfort.

CLOSED HOOKS
The scarpa features closed-shaped hooks. The laces are guided securely and cannot fall out of the hooks. Closed hooks reduce the risk of the scarpa getting caught on objects.

PRODUCTION METHODS
Sole injection method
The sole of LOWA multifunctional shoes is directly injected to ensure ideal cushioning and maximum comfort. It is a complex injection molding procedure that connects the upper made with the Strobel method directly to the sole, thus giving the shoes ideal cushioning and incredible lightness.

Upper height measurement according to din EN ISO 20347:2012: 150 mm
Top height outside: 0 mm
Top height inside: 0 mm
WEIGHT: 1140 g/Pair (UK 8)
