Lowa R-6 GTX Boot

Blending almost a century of industry expertise with various cutting-edge footwear technologies, the LOWA R-6 GTX® is a versatile tactical boot with a one piece toe design and a full grain smooth leather upper designed to provide wearers with comfort, without compromising performance.

Robust and hardwearing yet also lightweight and flexible, these boots have been CE EN ISO 20347: 2012 certified and are recognised as occupational footwear. This means that the LOWA R-6 GTX® provides some degree of anti-static protection, shock absorption, and resistance to damage from oil, water and penetrative forces.

Made with LOWA Patrol soles, the R-6 GTX® Tactical boot truly excels when worn over long distances or over prolonged periods of time. The special tread design provides enhanced grip and improves the wearer’s stability. The boot’s uppers, on the other hand, are made from full grain leather, a material known for its resilience and durability. Properly taking care of full-grain leather will ensure the boots have a long working life-span and the material’s already attractive natural aesthetics will only improve with time and making them ideal for uniform purposes. 

To ensure the comfort of the wearer, the properties of the boot’s upper and sole are augmented by a GORE-TEX® membrane lining. Breathable, waterproof and windproof, GORE-TEX® fabric is remarkable in that it allows moisture and heat escape but will not allow water, wind or anything else in. This feature alone is enough to eliminate or at least slow the development of any aches, pain or discomfort, thereby ensuring wearers of the LOWA R-6 GTX® tactical boot are able to remain on their feet comfortably throughout the day.

A few top tips to obtain the best fit:

• Try the boots on at the end of your working day as your feet could have increased by up to half a size due to vigorous activity.
• Always wear your chosen socks when trying on footwear.
• Please remember that LOWA boots are available in half sizes.
• Fit the larger foot first but leave it unlaced. Push your foot as far forward in the boot as possible; you are now looking for a gap of approx 10mm in the space now left behind the heel.
• Put the other boot on and lace them both up with your heel well back into the heel counters. They should feel snug around the ball and instep of your feet without having to lace them too tightly.
• Walk up and down and experience slight heel lift only, and minimum foot slippage. You should not feel the front of the boot at all, even when trying to push your foot forward inside the boot.
• Boots may become a little wider in time (but do not rely on this when purchasing).
• All boots, however comfy they feel from new, need a little time to soften up.

UK Sizes

Length difference from full size to full size = 8.46 mm (half size to next size = 4.23 mm).

Standard Last

Ball of the foot width increases max 3 mm from full size to next full size (half size to next size = max 1.5mm).

Wide Fitting Last

If choosing a wide fitting boot then the following width dimensions are added to the standard width: Ball of the foot width increases 2 mm on each size. Toe volume and instep height increases also.

Foot Length

If using your foot length as your guide (choose your longest foot), then add 10 mm before converting to UK size, to allow adequate length inside the boot. This is classed as the Mondopoint measuring system.
