Lowa Zephyr (GTX or non-GTX) are some seriously comfortable boots but they do struggle when the ground is icey or if you’re walking on certain types of floors that are “slippy”. That said, they’re great for everything else, really supportive, doesn’t crush your feet, comfy and good design. They don’t look out of place if you’re wearing jeans. If Lowa are able to resolve or improve the grip issue then their boots will continue to fly off the shelves!

No, they don’t have good arch support from the factory. I’ve never owned a boot that did though and just use inserts that are far better. As far as breath ability… again, as good or better than others I’ve owned. But waterproofing comes at the expense of lower breath ability.

I can’t recall ever experiencing that but, living in Sweden, I have noted that the rubber in the Lowa sole tends to stiffen in cold climate, making them kinda clampy on hard surfaces. Lowa have developed a boot specially adapted to cold climate, with a more suitable sole. I love them.

Not the same company they used to be. Rocky has always been good for hunting, and they are still strong in the market accross the board. 511 "Is great on flat surfaces". LOL Yep all their stuff is junk as well. If any boot has "Venting holes" that let the moisture out to dry isn't waterproof enough and is junk as well.

I am a contractor working in Iraq, I walked on average around 7500 steps daily on hard surfaces and after reviewing the Zephyr GTX GF, I decided to purchase from Back Country (Feb 2022). I bought a pair, half size bigger, based on reviews. In Iraq, the summer temperatures and heat conditions can go as high as 124 degrees F It rarely rains and it is dusty. The boots are gore-tex and I really do not need them based on weather conditions. After using the boots for several months one of the left boot eyelets snapped. The boot is hot for the ambient temperature. I use a good pair of socks and used Dr. Sholls CF 440 insoles. The vendor will replace the boot.
