It replaces the popular \u003cstrong\u003eLOWA Z-8S GTX C\u003c\/strong\u003e model and is designed for soldiers, police officers, members of security forces, rescue workers and demanding outdoor users who need stable, durable boots for rough terrain and for marches with a moderately heavy backpack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to its predecessor, the \u003cstrong\u003eZ-8S GTX C\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eMK2 GTX PR\u003c\/strong\u003e version brings three key changes: textile puncture protection, the new \u003cstrong\u003eLOWA® TACTICAL 2 ESD\u003c\/strong\u003e sole and a \u003cstrong\u003ePFC-free GORE-TEX PROFESSIONAL\u003c\/strong\u003e membrane. The original model was certified to EN ISO 20347:2012 in class O2, i.e. without puncture protection – the new generation meets the current \u003cstrong\u003eEN ISO 20347:2022\u003c\/strong\u003e standard in class O3S. The character of the Z-8S has been retained: a high suede (velour) leather shaft, a stable injected construction and comfort for all-day wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePR – puncture resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e designation indicates protection against puncture. A \u003cstrong\u003etextile (non-metallic) insert\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated into the midsole protects the foot from nails, shards and other sharp objects. Unlike a metal plate, it does not conduct cold and keeps the sole flexible. The \u003cstrong\u003eLOWA® TACTICAL 2 ESD\u003c\/strong\u003e sole is made from a rubber compound optimised for service use, features a special tread pattern in the midfoot area for more secure footing on ladders (ladder grip) and resists oils, fuels and contact heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining with a \u003cstrong\u003eGORE-TEX PROFESSIONAL\u003c\/strong\u003e membrane (ePE, PFC-free) is waterproof and windproof, yet remains breathable even during physically demanding activity. The high shaft (210 mm, inner height 180 mm) holds the ankle firmly when moving over uneven terrain, on slopes and when carrying equipment. The injected PU midsole with varying degrees of hardness cushions impacts, stabilises each step and insulates against both heat and cold. The boots also meet \u003cstrong\u003eESD\u003c\/strong\u003e requirements for dissipating electrostatic charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, it should be noted that this is \u003cstrong\u003eprofessional tactical footwear\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a soft urban trainer. The high shaft, sturdy construction and protective insert in the sole may feel more robust at first, and the boots require a short break-in period. Suede (velour) leather is supple and comfortable to wear, but it gets dirty more easily and, without regular waterproofing, soaks up water more quickly – you will find instructions in the “Material \u0026amp; care” tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits of the LOWA Z-8S MK2 GTX PR model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuccessor to the LOWA Z-8S GTX C model\u003c\/strong\u003e – a new generation with puncture protection and up-to-date certification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePR – puncture protection\u003c\/strong\u003e – textile (non-metallic) insert in the midsole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLOWA® TACTICAL 2 ESD sole\u003c\/strong\u003e – slip-resistant, with a ladder tread pattern, resistant to oils, fuels and contact heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePFC-free GORE-TEX PROFESSIONAL\u003c\/strong\u003e – waterproof and breathable even under heavy exertion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuede (velour) upper\u003c\/strong\u003e – supple leather that conforms well to the foot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh 210 mm shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e – ankle support in demanding terrain and when carrying equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEN ISO 20347:2022 certification\u003c\/strong\u003e – code O3S WR FO CI HI HRO LG SR; the boots are ESD compliant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho are the boots suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOWA Z-8S MK2 GTX PR\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable for users who need reliable high tactical boots with a supple suede upper and firm ankle support. LOWA recommends it for patrol duty, combat, special operations, parachute jumps and fast-roping (rapid descent down a rope). It is ideal for soldiers, police officers, members of security forces, rescue workers, field workers, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts looking for durable boots for service, long treks or everyday wear in demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the \u003cstrong\u003eZ-8N MK2 GTX PR\u003c\/strong\u003e model, the Z-8S has a suede (velour) upper instead of nubuck – it is more supple, whilst the nubuck Z-8N is more robust and more abrasion-resistant.
