“We are taking the next step and are adding the component of speed to complement the line’s sportiness. Now it’s time to run!”
— Alexander Nicolai | LOWA CEO
Trail running is not just the most popular sport of the year. Running on unpaved roads is also a trend sport for every season. Even in soaking wet, muddy or snowy conditions, thanks to the robust PU coating (REPTEX® SPORT) and integrated GORE-TEX membrane, the tear-resistant jacquard material of the FORTUX GTX Ws upper ensures that your feet stay warm and dry and can breathe freely at all times. When it comes to comfort, the LOWA® TRAC® sole system, composed of a particularly pronounced DYNEVA midsole with a high rebound effect, plays an important role. Teamed up with the grippy, well-profiled, slightly curved rocker-shaped rubber outsole, it ensures efficient rolling properties. Another compelling feature is the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology offering greater flexibility, comfort and breathability, along with the promise of “GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY”. A practical speed-lacing system that allows you to adjust the fit of your trail shoes rounds off this dynamic trail runner. All in all, the perfect running shoe for successful long-distance hauls.

The bi-directional lugs provide both targeted acceleration (forefoot) and grippy braking (heel). The construction provides the necessary stability for long-distance runs.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The FORTUX GTX Ws is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.
High breathability
Designed with optimal breathability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.
Anyone who has ever run an ultra knows how important it is to be able to brave the elements. Depending on terrain and route, it is not uncommon to encounter all four seasons along the way. In preparation for all eventualities, the new FORTUX GTX Ws is equipped with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane which enduringly protects running feet from getting wet.
The year of 2023 marks a milestone in LOWA’s history. The shoemaker is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It is the perfect time to look back over the last 100 years and bring the company’s history to life.

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.

To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for FORTUX GTX 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.

Stitches and material overlaps are eliminated in the FORTUX GTX Ws thanks to the use of large pieces in forming the upper. This reduces the possibility of pressure points, a feature that enhances comfort.

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.
The acronym “EVA” stands for “ethylene-vinyl acetate”. It corresponds to an elastomeric polymer that is used to make plastic materials. The EVA material creates soft and flexible qualities. It is primarily used in the production of shoe and shoe midsoles to provide step cushioning. Various degrees of rigidity can be achieved on the basis of the thickness employed.
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.

Mesh is a material that consists of many evenly spaced holes. It is usually made of polyester or nylon and basically a lattice-like material that is created by interwoven threads. Thanks to its special design, the man-made fibre is particularly permeable to air, has special moisture-regulating qualities and is easy to care for, breathable and crease-resistant.

Stretchy, water repellent and tough – these are the primary qualities of rubber, a material that is used to produce a wide range of products. As an elastomer, rubber offers good dimensional stability, but is elastically malleable when subjected to tensile and pressure stress.
