KIT REVIEW Lowa Zephyr Mid TF ‘Desert’ On first impressions these boots have a very modern look about them, and look like they could come from the high street. Don’t be fooled however, they were designed with service personnel in mind. Having worn these boots for a few days I was surprised at how cool they kept my feet, which I would attribute to the amount of ventilation panels. These boots are also very lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear. As a boot for everyday general wear, be it around camp or around town, the Lowa boots are great. In Lowa’s own words, though, they have primarily been designed for drivers, aircrew and general cutting around camp, and are not recommended to be used as a combat boot in any way, shape or form – though don’t let that put you off for airsoft use! I was impressed by these boots and I believe they meet their intended purpose very well. Lowa boots are a very popular choice with service personnel and I don’t think the Zephyr would disappoint. The Alt-Berg boots were kindly supplied direct from Alt-Berg, in North Yorkshire, and the Lowa boots by Aaron Distribution. We thank both companies for their generosity in supplying the boots.
