Lowa Dragonfly Gore-Tex® XCR® Trail Shoes - Waterproof (For Women)

Plan on using this product for hiking and everyday use

Lowa needs to take a page from running shoe manufacturers. These shoes have all the things I didn't like about stiff leather hikers and put them into a sneaker-like hiker. They are stiff and hard and have a narrow toe box. Because the sole is hard, they don't grip well on wet pavement or icy sidewalks. They're fine for every day where, in and out of the house/car, mud puddles.

These shoes run 1/2 size larger. They are great as far as being waterproof but are stiff with no cushioning on the sole. I'll wear them to walk my dog when it's rainy or snowing but no other time.

The shoe is very stiff. It really makes it hurt across the top of the foot. Feet stay dry but very uncomfortable.

They were a bit stiff at first but now they are a few weeks old and very comfortable. I wear them for light hiking and general Mom duties with all day comfort. They DO run large, so as recommended take this into account when ordering. I usually wear a 9 1/2, but my 9 is plenty long.

Have worn Lowa's before and enjoyed them. Not worn these enough to adequately judge but good so far,

Great shoe for walking in wet, muddy conditions

I absolutely love these shoes! The color is great and don't shy away because they're red. I have received so many compliments while wearing these, even to work! With the Gore-Tex you can't go wrong so they'll always keep your feet dry. The shoes are very comfortable- HOWEVER, due to its structure the tongue was digging into the tops of my feet so I used my shoe stretcher. After a few days with it in, the shoes felt like I never needed to break them in. They're SOOO comfortable besides that small setback that I personally found. I would recommend these to anyone!! These are the second pair of Lowa's that I have boughten and will continue to do so in the future.

Great shoes in wet weather, with good comfort and nice look. They have also the right colors for my country...

I really liked the looks of this shoe. I didn't mind that it was supposed to run bigger as I planned to wear heavier hiking socks. Unfortunately, the toe box was significantly narrower than the rest of the shoe and the fit was so uncomfortable. I can't imagine designing an outdoor adventure shoe with so little arch support and cushioning. After two hrs of wear in the house, my feet actually ached. Needless to say, I returned them.
