The Taurus Pro has a brand new LOWA sole called Lima. It has significantly more cushioning than other walking shoes in its class thanks to LOWA's PU midsole, and feels much more cushioned and springy than traditional walking footwear. The Lima outsole has a new tread design, with multidirectional lugs, ideal for mixed terrain, while the PU Monowrap frame, and full length stabiliser provide stability and support through each step. The fabric and leather upper has built in flex zones so the boots will need almost no breaking in and should be comfortable straight out of the box. Finally the Taurus Pro has a Gore-Tex lining, so is completely waterproof.
