What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I reach for this boot when I want to move quickly but still need ankle support and weather protection. It's impressively light for a mid-height hiker, stays stable on uneven ground, and the traction inspires confidence in wet, rocky conditions."When the trail turns steep, rocky, or slick, we lace up the Maddox Pro GTX Mid Hiking Boot from Lowa and keep our momentum. Built for fast hiking in technical terrain, this modern hiker blends trail-runner agility with added ankle support, giving us the confidence to move efficiently when conditions are unpredictable. The ripstop nylon and mesh upper keeps weight low while standing up to abrasion, reinforced with a microfiber toe cap for extra durability. Inside, a waterproof GORE-TEX lining keeps feet dry without sacrificing breathability. Underfoot, the double injection DynaPU midsole balances cushioning and support, while the MONOWRAP support frame and glass-fiber reinforced stabilizer enhance stability on uneven ground. Finished with an aggressive LOWA fast hiking outsole, the Maddox Pro GTX Mid delivers secure traction and control when speed and precision matter most.
