The certified women’s version of the multi-talented mission boot: With the Z-8S Ws C, LOWA has created a robust boot that is both functional and lightweight. It is perfect for missions performed in arid regions with challenging terrains and for marches with medium-heavy backpacks. This quality is also reinforced by the footwear’s mission-optimised rubber mix and the profile of the sole. The heat- and cold-insulating sole complex is anti-slip. It is also resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat. The elevated upper made of really durable buffalo leather provides optimal stability and support. At the same time, the durable PU material used in the sole provides exceptional cushioning and stability with the help of various degrees of rigidity. The Z-8S Ws C is also antistatic.

    Combat deployment is a military assignment conducted in an active war zone. The combat mission is designed to fend off threats as well as to restore and maintain public safety. The terrain can vary greatly, depending on the area of operation. It may range from urban areas to remote locations with rough terrain. The ideal footwear for combat missions has a stable upper that supports the ankle and provides a high level of comfort even during extended engagements. A robust fabric provides the required durability, even under adverse conditions.

    • Stable upper
      The stable upper provides the support required for demanding situations.

    • Very robust
      The very robust boot is designed to handle long, demanding combat missions.

    • Comfortable
      The boot is also ideal for extended periods of wear thanks to its high level of comfort.

    The right comrade in every situation.

    Patrols cover a limited area. They are used to conduct exploration, reconnaissance or security missions. The location and length of such missions vary tremendously, a fact that places tremendous demands on mission equipment, particularly the footwear. Challenging terrain (like the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan), frequent kneeling as well as good mobility and responsiveness require tough, but lightweight boots that offer moderate sole rigidity and provide solid support to the ligaments and tendons.

    • Stable upper
      The stable upper provides the support required during abrupt movements.

    • Moderate sole rigidity
      The boot’s moderate sole rigidity supports the foot without hindering movement.

    • Comfortable
      The snug boot remains comfortable even when it is worn for an extended amount of time.

    Descend safely.

    Fast roping is a quicker technique than abseiling. Fast roping involves mission forces sliding down a rope from helicopters without using descenders. The method enables mission forces to land on ships and to be introduced to hard-to-reach terrain or developed areas. Because of the friction produced by rope sliding, the medial side of the boot must be equipped with heat protection. Similar to footwear worn during parachuting, the boots must have such special features as closed lace-up hooks and good heel cushioning to lessen the impact of landing.

    • Protected medial side of the boot
      The protected medial side of the boot prevents premature wear and tear caused by sliding on a rope.

    • Closed hooks
      The closed hooks prevent the footwear from getting caught in the rope during descent.

    • Good heel cushioning
      The good heel cushioning lessens the force of the impact with the ground.

    Perfect in use.

    Desert warfare is a military assignment carried out in very arid regions where the temperature fluctuates sharply. The objective of desert missions is exploration, reconnaissance, security or combat in very arid regions. The terrain is frequently very dry and dusty, while the temperature of the ground will rise and fall sharply. These are qualities requiring heat-dissipating materials and good breathability to regulate the temperature of the footwear. The boots must have soles that offer good grip in dust and sand as well as a stable upper to prevent wearers from turning their ankles on terrain covered by deep sand.

    • Heat-dissipating and very breathable
      The material’s heat-dissipating and very breathable qualities provide comfort even under such demanding conditions.

    • Good grip in sand and dust
      The good grip in sand and dust provides reliable momentum on challenging terrain.

    • Stable upper
      The stable upper offers good support and protection from turned ankles in deep sand.

    Turns every landing into a pleasure.

    Parachuting involves a range of different jumps from aeroplanes to introduce troops to areas of operation. Such missions can involve jumps made at low altitudes with round parachutes that open automatically or military freefalls with parafoils and occasionally heavy rucksacks. Parachuting places some special demands on footwear worn during such missions. Important features include closed hooks to prevent the hooks from becoming caught in suspension lines, good heel cushioning and a stable upper to prevent injuries during landing.

    • Stable upper
      The stable upper design provides stability during landings.

    • Closed hooks
      The closed hooks prevent them from becoming accidentally caught in parts of the parachute.

    • Good heel cushioning
      Good heel cushioning reduces stress during landings.

Z-8S Ws C

LOWA® TACTICAL Z TRAC® Outsole with an optimal rubber compound

The Z-8S Ws C 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.

The special profile design of the LOWA® TACTICAL Z TRAC® impresses users with its good support and grip that is delivered even on challenging terrain. The sole optimised for fast-roping missions combines heat- and cold-insulating qualities. It is antistatic and resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat as well.

LOWA® TACTICAL Z TRAC®

DOUBLE INJECTION Upper and sole become a fixed unit

To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of the Z-8S Ws C 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.

The certified women’s version of the multi-talented mission boot: With the Z-8S Ws C, LOWA has created a robust boot that is both functional and lightweight. It is perfect for missions performed in arid regions with challenging terrains and for marches with medium-heavy backpacks. This quality is also reinforced by the footwear’s mission-optimised rubber mix and the profile of the sole. The heat- and cold-insulating sole complex is anti-slip. It is also resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat. The elevated upper made of really durable buffalo leather provides optimal stability and support. At the same time, the durable PU material used in the sole provides exceptional cushioning and stability with the help of various degrees of rigidity. The Z-8S Ws C is also antistatic.
