That said, boots are a very specific kind of gift so it’s important to think carefully about who you’re buying them for. If the intended recipient is a member of the armed forces or police force, a security professional or an avid outdoors-man or woman, then a pair of LOWA boots are likely to be well-received. It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that there are technically two types of ‘military boots’, the practical kind you will find here and the ‘Designer’ kind. While LOWA boots undoubtedly have aesthetics on their side, they’re very much function-over-form and may not be quite what some people are after. So, if you have been asked for a pair of military or combat boots by someone for Christmas, then you may want to keep this distinction in mind.
Assuming you’re confident that substance is at least as important as style to whomever you’re thinking of buying boots for, what’s written below is for you.
LOWA Military Boots for Her
The first recommendation which we’d like to make in our Christmas gift guide is our range of women’s military boots which are designed specifically to suit female feet. This is reflected in the shape, style and overall design of the boots.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the LOWA Mountain Gore-Tex Military Boots for women are bound to go down a treat. Featuring a Vibram ‘Tsavo’ sole, these military boots are designed to provide grip in varied terrains making them a reliable option for hiking and mountaineering. The angled heel design on the Tsavo sole helps absorb pressure whilst a PU midsole provides additional cushioning for the foot. Complete with outstanding Gore-Tex protection, these LOWA military boots will have your loved one set for their next adventure whatever the weather.
For a boot that does it all, the LOWA Women’s Combat Boot is a quality choice of gift. Combining the durability of traditional full grain-leather with innovative footwear technologies like a Gore-Tex lining, the LOWA Combat Boot is hard-wearing without compromising on flexibility. The Gore-Tex membrane keeps water out whilst allowing sweat to escape ensuring comfort and breathability during long periods of activity.
If the person that you are buying for requires a supportive boot for outdoor working, then our GTX Recce Boots are a top recommendation. Finished with smart full-grain leather and Cordura, the Recce Boot is as equally suited to urban environments as it is to rural landscapes. These military boots are well suited to training, driving duties and outdoor running.
LOWA Military Boots for Him
Next up in our Christmas gift guide is our collection of military boots for men.
If you know someone who is always off hiking or trekking, why not get them the best footwear to match? LOWA offers a range of military boots which are suitable for hiking, with one of the most popular being the LOWA Renegade II GTX Tactical Mid TF Boot. Inbuilt stabilisers offer additional support when walking on uneven ground whilst a raised sole support frame ensures comfort and grip. Guaranteed to perform in varied terrains, the LOWA Renegade II is bound to enhance any hiking trip.
If you’re not quite sure of their favourite outdoor activities and want to give them a boot which does a bit of everything, we would recommend the LOWA Z8S. Combining the characteristics of a traditional combat boot with a multi-functional military boot, the LOWA Z8S performs in a range of activities from hiking to tactical missions. Featuring advanced footwear technology including hydrophobic leather and PU midsoles, this military boot guarantees support and comfort in all adventures.
Another lightweight option to wrap up for them this Christmas is the LOWA Innox Pro GTX MID TF Boot. Differing from our more traditional combat boots the LOWA Innox is made using high-quality synthetic materials which give it that super lightweight feel. Ideal for outdoor running and other fast-paced activities, these military boots are comfortable to wear for hours on end whilst still providing protection against adverse weather conditions.
Whilst these are some of our top recommendations, you know your loved ones best which is why it’s worth exploring our full range of military boots for yourself.
Military Boot Accessories
If you’re feeling extra generous, why not get them some practical accessories to go with? LOWA accessories are also a great gift idea for outdoors lovers who already own a good quality pair of boots but could benefit from those handy additional extras.
We offer a range of accessories from thermal socks to gaiters to cleaning products, so you’re sure to find a practical yet thoughtful gift amongst them.
