What we could not verify
- The website link is LOWA's English European shop; the US shop (us.lowa.com) is listed under country shops. The activity links go to the men's ranges; matching women's ranges exist.
- LOWA's home country comes from its About page (founded in Jetzendorf, Bavaria; LOWA Sportschuhe GmbH).
- lowa.ca leads to a separate distributor, so Canada is not listed. No LOWA shopping app was found.
Questions
Which length does LOWA's size chart list?
LOWA's charts give these lengths — JP: measured foot length · Mondopoint: measured foot length. A measured foot length and a size in cm are about 8 mm apart for the same size, so compare your own foot length only with a column on the same scale.
Does the official chart tell me how a LOWA shoe will fit?
Only in part. The chart gives the length each size is meant for; how a particular model fits also depends on its last, width and materials, which the chart does not show. LOWA's size guide does not give general advice on sizing up or down; fit also varies by model and foot shape.
When should I not compare LOWA sizes with another brand?
When the two charts list different lengths. A measured foot length and a size in cm are about 8 mm apart, and the length of a foot is not the inside length of a shoe, so such a match can be half a size or more off. The converter matches only lengths on the same scale and lists the other brands separately.
When was LOWA's chart last checked?
On 2026-10-31, against LOWA's official size guide linked under each chart. The date changes only when the chart is checked again against the official page or its numbers change, not when this page's layout or wording changes.
