What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I grab these when I want to move fast but still need confidence on technical terrain. They feel incredibly light, yet the support frame and stabilizer keep things stable on uneven ground. The traction is aggressive, and the GORE-TEX lining has kept my feet dry in some truly sloppy conditions."When speed and precision matter, we lace up the Maddox Pro GTX Lo Hiking Shoe from Lowa and push the pace. Built for fast hiking on technical trails, this shoe blends trail-runner agility with the stability we want for rocky, uneven, and wet terrain. It feels light and responsive underfoot, making it easy to cover ground efficiently when conditions are unpredictable. The ripstop nylon and mesh upper keeps weight to a minimum while standing up to abrasion, reinforced by a microfiber toe cap for added protection. A waterproof GORE-TEX lining seals out moisture without sacrificing breathability, while the MONOWRAP support frame and glass-fiber reinforced stabilizer deliver exceptional stability. Underfoot, the double injection DynaPU midsole balances cushioning and support, and the aggressive LOWA fast hiking outsole bites confidently into loose, wet, and technical surfaces.
