We may be 100, but we’ve never felt younger. With a century of shoemaking experience, we know a thing or two about making premium footwear for the mountain athlete.

What keeps us energized, besides breathing in the fresh mountain air, is our obsessive focus on quality, fit and innovation – and now, we are pumped to introduce our new All Terrain Running (ATR) category of trail runners.

The ATR collection, inspired by our alpine heritage, is designed to excel on demanding terrain while delivering LOWA’s acclaimed quality, fit and durability.

LOWA ATR Technology includes:

• A super grippy, full length rubber LOWA TRAC Sole that provides traction as you’re moving on steep terrain.
• Abrasion resistant Reptex Sport uppers to keep your feet protected from scree, and prolong the longevity of your shoe.
• Carbon-reinforced Rebound Plate to gives you energy return at every step.
• DYNEVA midsole provides excellent cushioning so you can keep going mile after mile.
• Heel Stabilizer wraps around the rear of the foot to give multi-directional stability – a key for running on tricky terrain.

Use code ULTRASIGNUP10 off any pair of LOWA ATR shoes and begin elevating your trail running experience with LOWA. This discount code is not eligible for any other LOWA product purchases.
