The ZEPHYR MK2 LO Ws represents the next stage in the evolution of this legendary mission shoe and was developed specially for women. The highly breathable fabric lining is highly abrasion-resistant and ideal for use in dry or hot and damp climate zones. The LO-CUT upper’s strengths in terms of weight and agility are particularly evident during close combat. The upper is made from a combination of water-repellent, tear-resistant suede and abrasion-resistant, breathable CORDURA® material. The dual-layer PU midsole with a MONOWRAP® frame surrounds and supports the foot like an exoskeleton.
The ZEPHYR MK2 LO Ws is certified as occupational footwear in accordance with EN ISO 20347:2012. It is anti-static and has a cold and heat-insulating sole complex. The outsole is not only anti-slip – it is also resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat.

Special missions are law enforcement operations conducted by tactical units on variable terrain for the purpose of fighting terrorism, rescuing hostages and enforcing arrest warrants. Footwear worn during special missions has particular features that enable it to meet the variable requirements of such operations in the best-possible way. These critical features include high agility created by moderate upper and sole rigidity, multidirectional soles for fast changes of direction and low weight for fast-paced missions.
High agility
The boot’s upper and sole stiffness do not limit the user and have been optimised for fast movements.
Multidirectional sole
The multidirectional sole provides the foot with the support it needs during fast movements without limiting manoeuvrability.
Lightweight
The lightweight design significantly increases the footwear’s dynamics.
The ZEPHYR MK2 LO Ws is equipped with a LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE. Conceived by LOWA to meet the challenges of real-world use, the profile design is made from an optimised rubber compound. The result is a rubber outsole with good traction in the backcountry and off trail.
To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of the ZEPHYR MK2 LO Ws is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.
Lightweight
This process uses a plastic called polyurethane. It is a very lightweight foam padding.
Cushioning
The plastic called polyurethane is a foam padding that has very good cushioning properties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.
A wide range of design options
Thanks to direct injection, the sole can be designed in a very large number of ways. The multifaceted properties of the materials used enable the shoes to be effective in a broad number of areas.

With the LOWA MONOWRAP® frame, the midsole of the ZEPHYR MK2 LO Ws provides the very best comfort. This three-dimensional midsole design was developed by LOWA in 1995. The frame comfortably cradles the foot and support it when the shoe wearer ventures across uneven surfaces. The sole design is slightly raised for shoes with a STABILITY FRAME.
Good guidance for the foot
The foot is optimally nestled into the shoe thanks to the frame’s three-dimensional design.
Increased comfort
The special midsole design ensures snug footing in the shoe. The foot is pleasantly cradled by the three-dimensional frame.
Lightweight
The LOWA-MONOWRAP® is made of a plastic called polyurethane. It is a very lightweight material.

To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for ZEPHYR MK2 LO Ws have been specially designed with the anatomy of women’s feet in mind. The last plays a key role in the ultimate fit of a boot. Women’s feet have less volume than men’s feet. As a result, the instep height and the ball area of these lasts have been altered.

Light and robust
Shoes lined with textile material impress users with their light weight. The material is also very robust and easy to care for.
Optimal comfort in summer
Shoes with a textile lining are very popular during the summer because they offer the best comfort. Their wide-meshed feature facilitates good air circulation.

An outsole designed by LOWA with an optimised rubber compound to provide good grip.
The sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The shoe provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain.
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become lightweight and functionally flexible.
Carbon fibre are characterised by a remarkably high strength and provide enormous stability as a reinforcing material in the composite material. On top of that, carbon fibre also has a very low weight.

Polyamides are plastics that are synthesised and can be used to produce man-made fibres as a result. In addition to their toughness, polyamides are known for their form stability, tear and abrasion resistance and waterproof qualities. Polyamides are also elastic, very stretchy and high gloss.
Suede leather comes from the flesh side of the hide. It has a looser fibre structure, a quality that creates a velvety surface and a light pile. Suede leather is particularly durable and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, suede leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.
Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific characteristics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.
