The sole unit is Lowa\'s own Loren construction which utilises MonoWrap technology, reducing overall boot weight while retaining the all important lateral stability, it also provides outstanding shock absorption for enhanced protection of your foot. The rubber used is considered non-slip while the tread profile is street-oriented to ensure it doesn\'t wear out as quick as boots which are designed for other types of trekking but also to maximise traction and grip for enhanced stability.
