Lowa Skyterra review: A versatile trail runner that rivals the Hoka Challenger 7

Runner wearing the Lowa Skyterra.

Born in Bavaria, Germany, just over a century ago, Lowa is a highly trusted and well-respected footwear brand across Europe, but it is better known for its excellent hiking boots, such as the Renegade Evo GTX, than for top-level trail-running shoes.

In fact, Lowa only launched its off-road running range in 2025, with the well-received Amplux and Madrix models. The Skyterra is the latest shoe in the fleet, and it appears to occupy a middle ground between the two earlier shoes, combining the versatility of the Amplux with the high-performance capability of the Madrix.
