We focused closely on a wide range of details to meet the fit and comfort requirements specified by the paediatrician. Having been designed with the specific needs of children’s feet in mind, the multifunctional hiking boot offers the perfect combination of flexibility and stability. This provides children’s feet with the lateral support they need thanks to the natural rolling properties offered by the directly injected PU midsole, the shoe’s innovative LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame and its stable mid-foot segment. The shoes also come with a special foot bed that supports the structure of the foot’s muscles and sensorimotor functions. The waterproof GORE-TEX lining offers perfect protection from the weather. Throughout the process, we focused entirely on using a child-friendly concept, extending from the tip of the shoe to its soft cuff, to ensure that children’s growing musculoskeletal system would not be harmed in any way. The lacing system can be individually adjusted to meet specific needs and includes a fabric band that provides the necessary heel grip and perfect fit in the shoe. To prevent children’s play from getting completely out of hand, the grippy LOWA rubber sole will keep the feet of even the most energetic high fliers firmly planted on the ground.

A day hike lasts for less than 24 hours and leads back to the starting point. The tour can cover either mountainous or flat terrain. The primary aim is to experience nature. The hike is usually done with light backpacks, and its degree of difficulty can vary greatly.
“Shoes with GORE-TEX are a must if you plan to spend a lot of time with children outdoors. And which children do not get a really big kick out of jumping straight into puddles? We parents can now stop worrying about wet feet.”
— Steffi, a daily travel mate
Cushioning
Good boot cushioning is necessary to create a pleasant feeling during each step a hiker takes. This ensures optimal comfort over a long period of time.
Comfortable
Comfortable footwear is essential for long distances covered on foot. This is why LOWA places such a high priority on exact fit, something that is perfectly designed to handle short or long strolls.
Stability
To ensure sufficient grip during hikes, both the sole and the upper should be stable.
Lunch is wrapped, rucksacks are packed, and now it’s off to school. At school, children and adolescents are taught knowledge and information that will prepare them for life after school. Their time at school is spent doing the widest range of activities that are performed indoors and outdoors in nature.
“Every day is an adventure for my kids. These adventures naturally occur on the way to school and outside during recess. And, of course, on the playground after school. These activities really put our shoes to the test many times a day – and the shoes pass them with flying colours. Because the shoes are made in our European factories, I know that everything else will also be perfect. And this is exactly what I want to teach my children.”
— Matthias | LOWA CSO

With the LOWA MONOWRAP® frame, the midsole of the CADIN GTX MID JUNIOR 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 SUPPORT 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.
When it comes to fit and comfort, parents should not make one single compromise when purchasing children’s shoes. This is why we asked Dr Micha Bahr, a specialist in children’s surgery and manual medicine, to help us design the child-friendly shoe model CADIN GTX MID JUNIOR. The result is a mid-cut multifunctional shoe that has been adapted to the specific anatomy of small feet. We used an overall concept that has been well conceived and a design that considers both the state of young muscles and the growth of small bones.
Nature provides us with all sorts of unique opportunities to experience unforgettable adventures and enjoy very special moments. More and more people are making a conscious decision to get back in tune with nature. But the decision by more and more people to get back in tune with nature also results in a greater and greater impact on the environment. You hear words like “awareness” and “mindfulness” a lot in discussions about this trend – but what exactly do people mean when they use them? An example: The practise of taking your trash home with you after a tour now comes second nature to many people. Such steps, no matter how tiny they may seem, can be the key to a mindful and sustainable outdoor lifestyle. But if you look around outdoors, you will certainly see many places that certainly have room for improvement.

The CADIN GTX MID JUNIOR is footwear onto which the outsole has been directly injected. This manufacturing technique creates an exceptionally precise and very strong bond between the sole and upper.
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 days are getting longer and warmer again. Slowly, the last traces of winter blues fade away and the desire for a new adventure rises. The hiking season is just around the corner. It’s about time to lace up our hiking boots and explore new trails. But before we set off, it’s important to prepare properly and, above all, to check our equipment after its winter slumber.

The midsole is the leading contributor to the footwear’s rolling properties and cushioning. In the CADIN GTX MID JUNIOR, this midsole is made of a specially developed plastic: LOWA DynaPU®. The special feature: It retains its restoring force even when it’s pressed together thousands of times. As a result, the finished boots will maintain their exceptional cushioning properties even after you have walked many kilometres in them.

The model CADIN GTX MID JUNIOR is produced with a special children’s last. These lasts are not simply mini-versions of the lasts used for adults’ feet. They have been specially modified to reflect the anatomy of children’s feet and reduced in size. In addition, the height and width of the heel, toe and instep areas have been modified.

“Children are not small adults. Their bodies are growing, and their movement patterns are much more natural. For this reason, it makes sense to develop shoes that enable them to get a kick out of physical activity. We cannot simply turn a shoe designed for adults into a shoe used by children. The needs and requirements are totally different.”
