Our take on the Lowa Malta GTX Mid Boot - Women's Denim, 6.5

The Lowa Malta GTX Mid is a women's mid-height hiking boot that pairs a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane with a low-profile, sneaker-like upper. It weighs about 1.70 lb (770 g) per pair, so it is light for a mid boot and suits day hikes and town-to-trail use. The lace-up closure gives a secure fit. The latest listed price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.

Questions and answers

Is the Lowa Malta GTX Mid worth it?
For light day hikes and wet-weather walking, yes. It is waterproof and light at about 1.70 lb per pair. If you carry heavy loads or hike rocky terrain, a stiffer boot is a better buy.
How does it compare with the Lowa Renegade GTX Mid?
The Renegade is heavier and stiffer, built for backpacking and rough trails. The Malta is lighter and more sneaker-like, better for day hikes and travel.
Is it really waterproof?
Yes. The GTX in the name means a Gore-Tex membrane, which blocks rain and puddles. Water can still enter over the top of a mid boot in deep water.
How does the sizing run?
Several owners say it runs narrow, so women with wider feet may want a half size up or a wide fit. Try it with the socks you hike in.
When is the price lowest?
Listings show $159 at Distritech as of November 3. Outdoor boots often drop during end-of-season sales in late fall and winter, so check the price history before buying.
What is in the box?
The box contains the pair of boots and the laces fitted at the factory. Insoles and care products are not included.
