What Is Cambrelle® Lining & How Is It Used In LOWA Boots?

Cambrelle® lining is a footwear lining specifically designed to offer comfort and moisture resistance for the user. The material was first produced in the early ‘70s when fibre technologists and chemists discovered they could combine nylon 6 and nylon 6.6 by using one as a core for the other to wrap around. This created a bicomponent fibre that was perfect for use as a non-woven textile.

5 Ways To Properly Lace LOWA Military & Tactical Boot
11/02/2019
LOWA Military & Tactical Boots are built to provide unparalleled comfort and performance, and sometimes the best way to deliver this is to leave room for individuals to customise aspects themselves. Sometimes these options have practical benefits, such as a flat-footed wearer being able to swap the insole of their boot for a more supportive one. Other times, like when laces are replaced with alternatives of a different shape, style or colour, the change is purely aesthetic. The layout and configuration of said laces, however, is another matter.

What To Look For In A Military Desert Boot
12/12/2018
Anyone who has been on tour or exercise in the Middle East, central Asia or Africa will tell you that with the arid landscape comes a whole host of unique challenges.
