The Lowa Ticam GTX hiking boots feature a forward-flexing design that keeps you comfortable mile after mile, and stiff soles for comfort and support when carrying heavy loads.

Waxed split leather and synthetic microfiber uppers are durable and flexible, offering lasting protection and comfort; rubber toe and heel caps protect uppers from abrasion
Gore-Tex® waterproof liners let feet breathe while protecting them from the elements, keeping them dry and comfortable
Moisture-wicking polyester linings and perforations inside cuff linings move moisture out, helping to reduce the chance of blisters
An asymmetric padded tongue, soft edging, recessed ankle cut and curved insert combine for tailored comfort across instep
Construction facilitates natural ankle flex without compromising stability, resulting in a more comfortable stride

Comments about Lowa Ticam GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

I day hike over rugged trails and steep inclines about once a week during spring through fall. These are my second pair of Lowa boots, my first being Renegades which I still love for day hikes and weekends. This model has more support and stoutness which I like for off trail and long backpacks which I take every summer. The extra strength adds weight though for this type of boot I think they are pretty light.
My first hike with these boots was 17 mi 4800ft ele gain in and loss day hike with lots of loose, angular rocks on the trail. I had no blisters or sore spots. The soles are so hard sharp rocks are not felt yet there is plenty of padding for your foot. The laces are easily adjustable and go down to the toe so you can adjust them in just about any you want including snugging up width. They also have great ankle support, they make you feel like you can walk over anything

Comments about Lowa Ticam GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

This is the finest high-end hiking boot I've owned in over 30 years of hiking and backpacking!

I waited to write comments until I wore the boots in really rainy and muddy conditions. Result: No water leaks and better-than-normal traction on wet rocks. Breathability is what I expected in a pro boot...no complaints.

Mud doesn't clean out of the soles as well as other boots I've worn...it's an unusual Vibram tread design which isn't as open in the center as competing boots. So it's a trade-off...better dry- and wet-weather traction on rocks and gravel but more prone to mud clings on tough trails.

Lacing system is first rate, to include a two-zone system (i-Lock) without having to resort to tying knots around the eyelets to separate the lower-foot zone from the upper-foot/ankle zone.

Amazingly, break-in was completed within 20 - 25 miles. I've never had a severe conditions backpacking boot break in so quickly. In fact, these Ticams felt good right out of the box but they wouldn't have passed muster on rocky trails with a heavy pack before wearing in the footbed.

Boot weight is less than expected for a superb, harsh conditions/heavy pack boot. Make no mistake, this is not the boot weight you'll see in a synthetic material day hiker. This is a serious boot for seriously-experienced hikers and packers.

Boot width is a tad wider than 'normal' but it's perfect when wearing SmartWool Hikers with silk liner socks. Boot length is spot on...true to size. Plenty of room in the toe-box area.

Bottom line, this is a top-tier boot for experienced packers and hikers. Best I've owned although I haven't had them long enough to assess their long-term durability.
