LOWA’s Renegade Boots

LOWA is a respected brand in hiking boots, and arguably produces some of the best in the business. Their products are incredibly lightweight but don’t sacrifice sturdiness. LOWA’s range of boots is staggering, with options for activities like hiking, trekking, mountaineering, rock climbing, speed hiking, hunting, snow activities and more.

For a classic hiking boot, look no further than the Renegade Mid GTX, which are available for men and women in an impressive range of styles and color combinations. You can expect great comfort from your LOWAs, as they absorb shock well and really don’t need much, if any, breaking in. New hiking boot buyers are often met with horror stories of hikers who fail to adequately break in their boots; while you probably shouldn’t wear LOWAs on a long trek right out of the box, you can pretty much just lace them up and go otherwise.

The boots are lined with waterproof Gore-Tex but have a Climate Control footbed for breathability. The outsole is Vibram Evo for superior traction. And the 890-gram weight is one of the reasons these boots are so comfortable; they’re light but sturdy, and will keep your ankles well protected, too.

Lowa’s popularity among outdoor enthusiasts speaks well to its reputation. These boots will likely last you a long — and happy — time on the trail.
