Constructed of top quality split leather and Cordura®.
Features an ultra-warm and waterproof, GORE-TEX® lining with Partalena fleece insulation.
LOWA’s exclusive new G3 sole unit with supination/pronation support and PU midsole provides maximum grip on snow and ice.
These high shaft snow boots utilize LOWA’s exclusive Monowrap® technology which wraps the foot in a lightweight, comfortable, and supportive frame.
The combination of a soft rubber blend with proprietary textile acts as a shock absorber increasing grip by up to 32% over other types of snowboot designs.
Think of LOWA snowboots as snow tires for your feet: The large lug pattern sole units follow the natural line of foot motion with a minimum of one lug in contact with the ground at all times during the roll-off motion – thus improving stability on snow and ice.

Findings: We needed winter boots for my daughter. And we had a particular list of requirements that was developed over the course of many other boots failing. 1: must be waterproof. 2: must breathe, yet be warm. 3: must be strong enough to withstand various snowshoe attachment points. 4: must be comfortable enough for a 40+ miles hike carrying or pulling a load. Support is a nice thing too. After boots leaking in spring snow, toes splitting from the torque of snow shoes and blisters on day one of hikes, the Nabucco has been a nice change. It is a narrow cut at the toes, so beware if you have wide feet. This is a stiff boot designed to handle all the abuse winter can throw at it. Overall performance is awesome. I wish the liner was removable for drying out, but really, that is my only complaint. Well constructed, warm, waterproof without being sweaty and strong enough for winter gear. The Nabucco accomplishes what it set out to do.
