The LOWA Z-8N MK2 GTX PR is the heavy-duty boot of the range. A taller 21 cm nubuck shaft, a puncture-resistant midsole and the ESD-rated LOWA TACTICAL 2 sole make it the boot for long marches with a medium-to-heavy pack, ladders and rough terrain. Certified to EN ISO 20347:2022.
Choose the Z-8N when support and protection matter more than weight. For a lighter boot, see the Zephyr MK2 in Black or Coyote, or the Innox Pro. See all LOWA boots.

From LOWA
Stability and support in all situations: with the Z-8N MK2 GTX PR, LOWA offers a comfortable shoe that impresses with its high functionality and robustness. It is perfectly suited for use in demanding terrain and marches with medium-heavy rucksacks.
This quality is underlined by the durable PU material, which provides excellent cushioning and stability thanks to its varying degrees of hardness. The heat- and cold-insulating midsole also features textile puncture protection to prevent sharp objects entering the boot. The outsole is made of a mission optimized rubber compound with a special tread pattern that provides better slip resistance on ladders in the midfoot area.
In addition to slip resistance, the LOWA® TACTICAL 2 ESD sole also has oil and fuel-resistant properties and is resistant to contact heat. The mid-height shaft made of particularly durable nubuck leather provides good support. The lining with PFC-free GORE-TEX PROFESSIONAL ePE membrane guarantees an optimal foot climate even during strenuous activities. The Z-8N MK2 GTX PR is also ESD compliant.
Features:
- Gore-Tex Lining: Highly breathable, durably waterproof lining material. Keeps feet pleasantly dry and offers optimised climate comfort for a broad range of outdoor activities.
- Slip Resistance: The sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The shoe provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain.
- Closed Hooks: The shoe is equipped with lacing hooks with a closed design. The laces are guided securely and cannot slip out of their hooks. Closed lace hooks minimise the risk of the shoe getting caught on objects.
- LOWA Rubber Sole: Conceived and developed by LOWA, this rubber outsole varies in its rubber blend having a tread design with varying lugs, both factors based on intended use. Ideal for off-trail use.
- Stability Frame: A sturdy wrap sole construction extending onto the upper ensures good stability.
