Lowa Banff Backpacking Boot - Men's

 Brand : Lowa
Item : LOW0019
The Lowa Banff Backpacking Boot for Men is the product of history and technology. Like its predecessors, the Banff uses 2.5mm thick seamless leather for unbeatable durability and long life. Coupled with a Vibram sole with a shock absorbing midsole, the Banff stabilizes and protects your foot. The full rubber shank lends stability in uneven terrain and protects from sharp rocks. The leather upper with the slightly raised inner cuff prevents ankle rolls. A carefully constructed insole with pronation and supination zones gives optimum stabilization no matter what your stride looks like. The Banff is a great deal on a top performer for intense backpacking with heavy loads. Traditionally, Lowa's run large so select a size ˝ below your normal shoe size.
Price: $219.95

Product Reviews
Lowa Banff Backpacking Boot - Men's



Hiking boots at their best
These boots are simply fantastic. I have had them for 1+ months and did some winter hikes in New Mexico. They need no walking-in time and are as comfortable as trainers within minutes of wearing them. However, they also give you great stability when walking in snow and ice. Plus they are warm when you need them to be. Lowa realy hit the jackpot when they created them. Size is true to numbering. Only pity was that BackcountryStore did not have them in the right size for my wife. In short a high quality boot for the right price. Highly recommended


Lowa - Scout
Let me preface this review by saying that I am not in the sports apparel or boot business. Neither is anyone in my family. I am an attorney of long standing; and quite discerning in my purchasing…of anything. And, I am generally loathe to praise a company for doing that which it is supposed to be doing; e.g. making a quality product and even coming close to the "puffing language" found in their advertising. This, therefore, is a rare occasion. I recently went looking for a comfortable hiking boot with the support I wanted. I wanted the support, but they had to be the kind of boot that still felt good after a long day’s hike. I am so very happy to say that I found MORE than what I was looking for in the Lowa Scout. It is absolutely a fantastic boot. It provides the support I need in heavy rock, yet is so comfortable that I often wear it around town on a Saturday while I am running errands in the city. I find myself reaching for my Scouts more and more often. I can only give Lowa my highest praises. (As a matter of fact, I like them so much, I'm seriously considering buying "a pair for church" and one for "work" -- as they used to say "down on the farm". Whoever designed these boots was really thinking. Goodbye Vasque (what @#%*! happened their boot sizing?? Will they go the way of Gerry??); hello Lowa. My hat is off to you all at Lowa. Well done! Very well done, indeed!


Best boots I have ever used
These are easily the best hiking boots I have ever owned. Breaking them in took only a couple short hikes and they are far more comfortable than other models I have tried. Backcountrystore.com got them to me in record time as well. Thanks for the good shopping experience.


Happy feet
Bad ankles and plantar fascitus in both feet were putting a definite crimp in my hiking trips. My Lowa Banff's did a great job of locking in the heel and holding my feet in a secure position. I was able to do a wilderness trail hike at Grand Canyon (Tanner trail) with a heavy pack/extra water without a single blister, and I didn't roll my ankles once despite the rockslide scrambles. Boots are heavy but the protection and sense of security are worth it. Worth my money to be able to get back on the trail.


lowa boots
Top quality construction. Much lighter than my old pair and when coupled with custom orthotics really secures my foot in place. Very comfortable to wear for hours on end. Small break-in period. Great choice for a beefy person (>210lbs)
