SOLE

The heart of the LOWA® ELIKA PRO sole is the technical profile that offers solid grip. The two-component PU midsole provides optimal cush-ioning on long tours while the distinctive heel edges add pleasure to descents.

An outsole designed by LOWA with an optimised rubber compound to provide good grip.

MIDSOLE

100% Poly-urethane (PU) Poly-urethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cush-ioning prop-erties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become light-weight and func-tionally flexible.

INSOLE

Approx. 50% Viscoelastic latex foam: Viscoelastic latex foam is made of a remarkable polymer that lends a special form memory to the foam. Once body heat or pressure is applied to the viscoelastic foam, the foam adapts exactly to these particular contours. This feature equally distributes pressure and eases stress on the feet.

Approx. 40% Polyester: Polyester is synthetic plastic fibre made from crude oil. In chemical terms, it is a polymer that can be processed into many different materials. Thanks to its chemical flex-ibility, polyester is light-weight, dries quickly, does not shrink and has the highest levels of tear and abrasion resistance.

Approx. 10% Mesh: Mesh is a material that consists of many evenly spaced holes. It is usually made of polyester or nylon and basically a lattice-like material that is created by interwoven threads. Thanks to its special design, the man-made fibre is partic-ularly permeable to air, has special moisture-regu-lating qualities and is easy to care for, breathable and crease-resistant.

UPPER MATERIAL

Approx. 70% Suede leather: Suede leather comes from the flesh side of the hide. It has a looser fibre structure, a quality that creates a velvety surface and a light pile. Suede leather is partic-ularly durable and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, suede leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.

Approx. 30% Fabric: Our natural and synthetic fabrics facilitate optimal warming and moisture management with the help of their usage-specific char-ac-ter-istics. Thanks to their structural design, they are smooth and make our products extremely comfortable.
