LOWA started from humble beginnings in 1923 when Lorenz Wagner founded LOWA as a work and outdoor boot company in Jetzendorf, a small Bavarian village in southern Germany. Ninety years later, LOWA is a worldwide brand, selling shoes in over 40 countries. LOWA is still based in Jetzendorf where we produce the majority of our classic board-lasted boots in a clean, modern factory. We also manufacture in Italy and Slovakia, and make our EVA-midsole trail running shoes in China. 1960 1982 > 3 196 > > 199 196 0 > 1923 Lorenz Wagner founds LOWA in Jetzendorf, Bavaria. | 1996 2012 > 1 > TRAIL RUNNING Page 69 – 74 SPECIAL Page 75 – 82 KIDS simply more... > Page 61 – 68 2008 SPEED HIKING > Page 59 – 60 200 9 ATC 2001 Page 31 – 58 > TREKKING 00 Page 15 – 30 2 3 > BACKPACKING 4 1997 DEMO CENTER LOWA opens its 1st USA consumer demo center at the Sierra Club’s Clair Tappaan Lodge. 1 201 2012 > Page 11 – 14 All Terrain Collection — starring direct injection PU soles and launching the Renegade GTX® Mid, now a world-wide best seller. > 1923 1997 20 MOUNTAINEERING 1996 3 s Page 3 – 10 The Tecnica Group acquires LOWA Sportschuhe GmbH. LOWA gets groovy in the 60’s. Back in the 60s, LOWA used to advertise boots as having Pfiff! ... a certain flair, zing or special something. Today, we translate Pfiff as Simply More. Because at LOWA, we’re conscious that we always need do more, do it better and focus on making our customers happy. When you consider our 2013 collection, please keep Pfiff or Simply More in mind. It’s what makes a LOWA a LOWA. 1993 LOWA introduces the legendary Trekker, the world’s best fitting trekking boot — still going strong at 30. LOWA introduces patented C4 tongue construction. 2011 LOWA athlete Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner summits K2, becoming the 1st woman to summit all 14 eight thousand meter peaks without supplemental oxygen. 2000 Davo Karnicar completes 1st uninterrupted ski descent of Mt Everest in LOWA Strukutura AT boots. 2009 LOWA is awarded prestigious ISO 9001 status for highest quality manufacturing processes. 2008 LOWA introduces MONOWRAP® construction. 2001 Ines Papert wins 1st of her 4 (so far) World Ice Climbing Championships. SIMPLY MORE… MAKING THE WORLD‘S BEST BOOTS EVEN BETTER Hand-crafted in Europe Quality sin ce 1923 The Simply More philosophy drives every aspect of our product design and is the catalyst for our ongoing innovations. s Our I-Lock™ design is a patented lace block inspired by climbing hardware that allows the wearer to one-pull the lace for a secure hold. s We’re also introducing more boots with Flex™ Lacing, where the hardware is riveted to free floating tabs to reduce the pressure across the top of the foot when the foot flexes. s In our growing Trail Running category, LOWA brings innovation with our STG 3D midsole and sole units, and with our new laser-perforated leather that delivers breathability that’s equal to mesh and far softer, especially around the ankle where many shoes chafe. Soft to the touch – Pfiff! s LOWA’s C4 tongue (another patented feature), has 15 pieces of leather and other materials that have to be cut, skived, glued and stitched together, requiring far more effort and expense than conventional three-piece tongues. Our C4 tongue wraps comfortably around the leg, doesn’t slip, and flexes with your ankle, so we think that it’s worth it. A 15-piece tongue really is Simply More. There’s plenty of Simply More in our ATC category. Our MONOWRAP® injected polyurethane construction is far more expensive that the alternatives but it ensures that the customer ends up with supremely comfortable, durable light hiker. The Renegade Mid,with approximately 200 pieces and a similar number of hand-done construction steps,is another example of our attention to detail. It’s widely considered the most reliable, easy to fit boot on the retailer’s wall, with thousands of satisfied consumers who’ve purchased multiple pairs over the years. Clearly this repeat business — and the happy testimonials that we hear every day — confirm that the effort that goes into a Renegade is worth it. s s The I-Core™ stabilizer is featured in the Weisshorn GTX®, one of our premier Mountaineering boots. I-Core™ uses carbon fiber technology to increase sole stiffness and reduce weight, which translates to a more responsive boot. As we look to the future, we use our tradition as our guide. We remain rooted in our home village of Jetzendorf. We’ve spent more than €500,000 in recent years to ensure that the air our employees and neighbors breathe is clean and that no chemicals enter the stream that runs behind our factory and into the meadow next door. We prefer to keep the water clean and the cows that drink it healthy. There’s a proverb that says “a bird doesn’t soil its nest.” Neither should the boot makers. Making boots more comfortable, developing new innovations to help them fit better and using the highest quality of materials and constructions has served us well in the past and will continue to be among our guidelines moving forward. Simply More is our approach...but Pfiff sounds more fun! Thank you for your business in the past, today and in the future! 9 0 Y E A RS 1923 - 2013 For information on LOWA Winter, Task Force Boots and Climbing Shoes, please refer to their respective brochures. mountaineering For High Altitude Adventures The world of mountaineering boots is as diverse as the high mountains that climbers and mountaineers play in. At LOWA, our team of high altitude athletes includes Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, who in August 2011 became the first woman to summit all of the world’s 8000 meter peaks without supplementary oxygen. Gerlinde and her husband and fellow LOWA athlete Ralf Dujmovits helped us develop the Expedition 8000 RD. LOWA athlete Ines Papert, one of the world’s foremost sport ice climbers, has been instrumental in helping us develop the Ice Comp IP and Vertical GTX . All of these boots are important because when you build for the world’s best alpinists, you learn things that can apply to boots for the average hiker and backpacker. Case in point: We developed the Expert sole unit because of our work with these athletes. The Expert sole maintains the rigidity needed for crampon compatibility and is more comfortable than any other sole in its class because of the PU incorporated into the unit. After all, comfort is as important in the world of alpinism as it is anywhere. ® Our Exclusive FlexFit Synchro Design: Allows for a more natural ankle flex without interfering with stability. 3 www.lowaboots.com mountaineering expedition 8000 RD Extreme high altitude double boot designed in conjunction with renowned mountaineer Ralf Dujomvits.

Our perennial favorite, the Tibet GTX®, has been updated to include some of our latest technology including I-Lock, a patented way to hold your laces securely across the foot with only one pull while you adjust them up the ankle. The same feature now appears on the new Tibet LL and on the Ticam GTX®, our lightest and most flexible backpacking boot.

Trekkers carry a light pack with some bread and cheese, some water, maybe a camera and some rain gear, and go from hut to hut or from a tram station onto the trails. When it comes to their boots, trekkers want comfort. They want to put their boots on every Sunday and have them feel good week after week. They want support and stability, and they want climate control, which is why we have integrated our Climate System into both leather-lined and GORE-TEX® models, to help keep feet drier and more comfortable. The flagship model of LOWA’s Trekking collection is the Trekker — a venerable boot that has been on the market now for 30 years(!). The Trekker is known as the most comfortable boot in the outdoor footwear marketplace. But we can’t rest on our laurels, so updates to this collection include Camino GTX®, Mauria GTX® for women and our Focus models which bring lightweight construction and design to new levels. In our new models, we’ve integrated the LOWA Flex® lace design to reduce pressure across the top of the foot when you walk and X-Lacing to hold the tongue in place so it doesn’t shift as you walk. LOWA is famous for high quality leather and hand-crafted finishing details, such as this cuff on the Focus GTX Mid. ® 15 www.lowaboots.com trekking camino gtx flex camino LL flex ® NEW This boot may well become the new benchmark for fit.

We do so because many hikers and backpackers prefer the incredible custom fit, comfort and long life that a high quality glove leather provides. Although it requires a longer break-in period than a synthetic lining, once it is broken in, glove leather lining forms closely to the foot and retains foot shape far better than synthetic linings. It can also absorb twice its weight in moisture by wicking sweat off the foot, making it much cooler than synthetic linings. We uses soft German cowhide glove leather that’s 1 -1.5mm thick for our leather lining. The natural material with high-tech qualities: LOWA NAPPA glove LEATHER Types of Leather UPPERS We use a variety of leather types for our boots’ uppers: ¬ Smooth leather – Upper layers of the hide, not as scratch resistant. ¬ Nubuck leather – A full-grain leather, lightly brushed, moderately scratch resistant and stable, ideal for trekking boots. ¬ Split leather – Middle layers of the hide, visible grain, very durable ¬ “Roughout” (“Hunting”) leather – Very durable surface, optimal for Alpine boots. All of the leather that we use for uppers and linings is processed in Europe under the world’s most stringent and careful tanning standards, for minimal impact and maximum quality. Leather continues to be our preferred material for most of our Classic and ATC boots. Cowhides in a unfinished state are approximately 6 to 8 mm thick and must therefore be split. During the tanning process it’s decided where the splitting will occur — whether it will be a thicker full-grain leather and a thinner split-leather or vice-versa.

We call these boots our All Terrain Collection or ATC for short. ATC boots are made for lightweight hiking, scrambling over some rocks, traveling to far away destinations, jumping on a mountain bike or out of an airplane on a dare! ATC boots need to fit and be comfortable. They need to be rugged and durable. They need to be lightweight. LOWA’s ATC shoes are made with an injected PU construction that holds the upper to the sole. PU lasts far longer than other cushioning materials commonly used in light boots. PU also absorbs shock, rebounds and provides comfort underfoot. As part of our midsole, we inject a MONOWRAP® frame to help support the upper, which also allows us to use lighter weight materials to reduce overall boot weight. (The more pronounced the frame, the lighter the materials we can use.) PU MONOWRAP® is the secret sauce that makes LOWA ATC shoes different from others in the marketplace. High quality nubuck and split leathers, sturdy hardware, laces, webbing and stitching are just some of the details that keep LOWA ATC boots going strong on trail. 31 www.lowaboots.com atc ronan gtx MID ronan gtx MID ws A multifunction boot with a one-piece upper design for those who are rough on the toes of their boots.

It’s a terrific shock absorber, rebounds well, has a long life and is durable. A PU midsole will last longer on the trail and offer better comfort throughout days and miles of use. You will get two to five times the performance life compared to molded EVA midsoles. PU, whether we cement it to the boot like on a Backpack boot or inject it as on an ATC shoe, has very little manufacturing waste and is a much cleaner product to work with. We use EVA when light weight is a primary design factor such as in the Vajolet GTX® or Gavia GTX®. These boots are intended for those who need to travel light and fast. Our Edge™ midsole is a double molded EVA where the material is more dense than a normally molded EVA midsole, with more durable and stable sidewalls. Most importantly, the surfaces are prepared for gluing using a non-toxic UV treatment and not the typical chemical bath. These midsoles are made in Italy and cost more.

By controlling the thickness of each frame and the way it works with the midsole and outsole, we can dial-in the performance details for each kind of shoe.

We do so because we can’t make EVA midsoles in Europe, and we need to use EVA because light weight is a paramount criterion for runners. That said, LOWA trail runners are different. We’ve incorporated our STG® technology into a 3D version for a combination of stability and cushioning. And we’ve made sure to include bi-directional lugs into the soles to make sure you don’t slip on wet and muddy trails. For 2013, we’re introducing laser etched and perforated leather on the new S-Cloud models. This leather breathes as well as mesh but provides LOWA’s legendary durability, is as soft as synthetics, and the richness of a leather shoe is unmatched. 61 www.lowaboots.com TRAIL RUNNING s-CLOUD gtx ® NEW Four-season trail running shoe lined with Gore-Tex® for water proofing & breathability.
