Bio Naturale MTX 50th Anniversary Edition

Lomer’s story began in 1975 when Giancarlo Merlo founded the company, later joined by his brother Sergio. The brand quickly rose to prominence with its legendary Pedule boots — sturdy yet comfortable hiking shoes that first gained success in Italy and soon across Europe. In the 1990s, Lomer launched the New Valiant, an international best-seller with over one million pairs sold. Around the same time, the brand began its long-standing partnership with Vibram, a collaboration that continues to define the technical foundation of many of its soles today.

Innovation has always been at the core of Lomer’s DNA — from introducing the waterproof Mer-Tex membrane in the early 2000s to developing the revolutionary Vitality Fit in 2020, which redefined comfort and fit for modern footwear.

The iconic Bio Naturale line, created in 2010, perfectly captures Lomer’s philosophy: Italian design, outdoor performance, and uncompromising comfort. Today, while Lomer shoes are worn around the world, the brand remains deeply connected to its roots. Every stitch, every material, and every detail reflects a commitment to crafting footwear that is not only functional but also refined and timeless.

To mark its 50th anniversary, Lomer celebrates two emblematic models: the Bio Naturale Low MTX and the Bio Naturale Mid MTX, released as a special 50th Anniversary Edition. Both designs embody what has defined Lomer for five decades — Italian passion, artisanal excellence, and footwear that turns every step into a unique experience.
