Founded in 1923 in the Bavarian village of Jetzendorf, Lowa was established by Lorenz Wagner, the son of a shoemaker, who began by producing traditional brogue oxfords. This foundation in quality handwork quickly evolved as the brand started making alpine and ski boots to meet the demands of a growing interest in mountain sports. For over a century, Lowa has built a reputation on the pillars of fit, durability, and innovation, all while maintaining its manufacturing base entirely in Europe to uphold stringent quality and labor standards. The brand's products are a direct reflection of its heritage, designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable, high-performance footwear.
