How it all began
In 1923, in the German village of Jetzendorf, Lorenz Wagner (hence the 'LOWA' company name) set up the company LOWA which began making mountaineering and ski boots. Lorenz, a cobbler's son, had a huge passion for footwear and, more importantly, the skills of a true craftsman. He spent months improving shoe lasts, models and soles. Lorenz was a real perfectionist, and a shoe wasn't finished until the fit and functionality were perfect. He selected the best materials and sole structures for his footwear, producing sturdy, comfortable and, especially, very durable shoes.
LOWA has never forgotten how it once started and everything it does must live up to the brand's core values: the best quality, a perfect fit and innovations in every area. What drives LOWA time and time again? The challenge of developing the perfect footwear for any outdoor activity! Whether you're taking a short walk, going on a multi-day trek across the mountains or climbing an 8K peak, you can count on your LOWA boots, a 100%!

In order to meet the high quality requirements, LOWA develops and manufactures all of its products in Europe (with the exception of the All Terrain Running Collection). In addition, LOWA only uses European raw materials. Day in, day out, the LOWA team of over 2250 people design and produce the best footwear. Since quality is of paramount importance, they do not compromise when choosing the materials. After all, LOWA not only guarantees optimal comfort, but also safety and durability.
