Stable, functional and snug. It takes just three words to sum up the SANTIAGO GTX trekking boot. But these three words are simply not enough once you slip them on. It’s only then that the boot shows off its entire range of strengths and its many features. On the outside, the boot is made mostly of leather, a feature that makes it both an eye-catcher and wonderfully robust. LOWA uses the innovative X-LACING technology to create a comfortable fit – the special lacing system prevents the tongue from slipping and creating pressure points. Thanks to the boot’s VIBRAM TRAC LITE II outsole, boot wearers can confidently take on the widest range of surfaces. When things turn wet outdoors, the GORE-TEX lining is optimally equipped to keep the wearer’s feet completely dry while providing them with adequate air to breathe. In short, it’s a mountaineering boot that has what it takes to become users’ favourite trail mate!

The SANTIAGO GTX comes equipped with a Vibram sole. The Italian sole manufacturer has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years.
The VIBRAM TRAC® LITE II has a multifunctional profile that includes a rubber compound and special sole design in the front and heel area. With the help of these features, it can take on the widest range of activities.
Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The SANTIAGO GTX is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.
High breathability
Designed with optimal breathability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.
Anyone who spends a lot of time out in nature and loves a short hike as much as an extended hut tour will arrive sooner or later at the SANTIAGO GTX. The durable, nubuck-leather boot with the ankle-high upper impresses users with such qualities as flexibility and comfort. It is something created by the GORE-TEX lining, the crease over the instep and the smooth two-zone lacing system. The VIBRAM TRAC LITE II is used for the sole of this trekking boot, a feature that enables users to cross the widest range of surfaces at any time.

“No matter whether snow is falling, rain is plunging from the sky or the sun is shining – children wearing GORE-TEX footwear can romp around to their heart’s content during any type of weather.”
— Michael | LOWA Head of Development
The year of 2023 marks a milestone in LOWA’s history. The shoemaker is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It is the perfect time to look back over the last 100 years and bring the company’s history to life.

Thanks to the two-zone lacing system used in the SANTIAGO GTX, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the shoe can be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents.

“No more pinching and squeezing because you can tie the shoe as comfortably as you want.”
Anyone who returns home after a long hiking tour knows that feeling of gratitude. Gratitude for breathtaking days spent in the great outdoors, for spectacular moments and for snug boots that safely took the hiker up the mountains and back down again. Many hikers have a very special relationship with their hiking boots. They are something more than just another pair of shoes in the closet. They are more like a hiking partner and a real companion. For a few, they even become something that can only be described as friends. Hikers just can’t do without them. The boots fit like a glove and accompany us everywhere – as they should. Sometimes you wonder: What would the boots say if they could talk? What would they tell us? What have they seen?

As a result, the tongue is located where it should be – without any slippage or pressure points: This is what X-LACING technology of the SANTIAGO GTX is all about. This special lacing system secures the tongue both vertically and horizontally. Because the lacing system gains independence from the height of the instep, the design is perfect for any type of foot. This technology ensures that the pressure of the laces is transferred not just to the hooks but to the tongue as well.

Nature provides us with all sorts of unique opportunities to experience unforgettable adventures and enjoy very special moments. More and more people are making a conscious decision to get back in tune with nature. But the decision by more and more people to get back in tune with nature also results in a greater and greater impact on the environment. You hear words like “awareness” and “mindfulness” a lot in discussions about this trend – but what exactly do people mean when they use them? An example: The practise of taking your trash home with you after a tour now comes second nature to many people. Such steps, no matter how tiny they may seem, can be the key to a mindful and sustainable outdoor lifestyle. But if you look around outdoors, you will certainly see many places that certainly have room for improvement.

To add flexibility to each eyelet of the SANTIAGO GTX, the lacing systems through which laces are threaded are affixed separately. These sections are made of soft leather trim or supple textile materials that prevent pressure points. Thanks to the flexible arrangement of the eyelets, the laces can be individually adjusted without producing any excessive pressure on specific areas. But the tongue maintains its optimum positioning.

The specially designed tongue of the SANTIAGO GTX substantially enhances comfort. The tongue includes extra padding for the outer portion of the foot, and the upper end of it is especially soft. This asymmetric padding provides effectively coordinated support to many areas of the foot. To take into account the foot’s anatomy, the recesses for the ankle area have also been placed higher on the inside than on the outside, and a flexible bending insert has been integrated into the inner side by the foot.

Proven Vibram rubber sole from a high-quality provider from Italy.
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become lightweight and functionally flexible.
Mesh is a material that consists of many evenly spaced holes. It is usually made of polyester or nylon and basically a lattice-like material that is created by interwoven threads. Thanks to its special design, the man-made fibre is particularly permeable to air, has special moisture-regulating qualities and is easy to care for, breathable and crease-resistant.
Viscoelastic latex foam is made of a remarkable polymer that lends a special form memory to the foam. Once body heat or pressure is applied to the viscoelastic foam, the foam adapts exactly to these particular contours. This feature equally distributes pressure and eases stress on the feet.
Polyester is synthetic plastic fibre made from crude oil. In chemical terms, it is a polymer that can be processed into many different materials. Thanks to its chemical flexibility, polyester is lightweight, dries quickly, does not shrink and has the highest levels of tear and abrasion resistance.
Nubuck leather is a full-grain leather that is slightly sanded, a process that lends a velvety look to the leather. Nubuck leather is especially durable, robust and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, the suede can be left untreated during the manufacturing process or oiled or waxed.
Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific characteristics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.
