Very comfortable with a quick break in period.I've got something like 500 to 600 miles on these boots now and all of it in the temperate rain forests of Southeast Alaska. Most of the hiking is on rough muddy trails or wet slimy rock.Upside: Light yet very supportive. Comfort is excellent. So far the boots have not shown any undue wear...I'd call them excellent in that regard. Excellent traction on Muddy trail and wet rock and not too bad on ice and snow.Downside: Not water proof or even very water resistant even though they claim to be.Annoyances: The third lace hook down from the top has a tendency to not hold the lace and will have you pausing to re-lace the boots several times a day.

Had these boots since January 23 (It's Nov. now) so I can offer a good review.These are great fitting boots over-all! This was my first pair of Lowa boots (I was a Vasque wearer before) and love the fit. I have issues with my ankles so needing the extra support, with or without my brace, helps immensely.The only reason that I didn't give it 5/5 stars was the insole was NOT very good!!! (My opinion) And did not provide nearly enough cushion needed to prevent fatigue.I have worn them in all weather conditions, including snow/wet conditions and they kept my feet warm and dry!! And wearing them for extending hikes etc. has been without issue (Once I changed insoles)Again, Great boot overall!!!!

I bought these boots about 10 years ago after doing a lot of research. I don't do a lot of hiking so they're still basically brand new. The tread gives me so much confidence going up and down steep inclines so no complaints there. But the comfort is non-existent. I don't know if I got a pair of defective boots, or maybe they have changed things now, but my boots have a rock hard sole. After the 22km hike from Laguna de Los Tres in Patagonia, I was literally crying in pain because my feet were so sore. I was not tired, I was just in pain from my feet. And I blame this boot. I'm surprised no one else is complaining about this. But I will say the boots are durable. My husband's Keen Targhees were in pieces after that trip and my Renegades are still going strong, but ... MoreI bought these boots about 10 years ago after doing a lot of research.

I am new to backpacking and purchased 3 pairs of boots to try out. I love the sporty boot style, but worried that I’d need more support with a heavy pack. Also want a boot that looks good so color and style make a difference for me. After trying them all on with my pack, lots of reading reviews and articles the grey green/panna Lowa’s were the easy choice. Happy to say that after many miles of backpacking it was the right choice. They now have a perfect fit to my foot, but it never felt like I was breaking them in, they were comfortable from the start. I ordered a half size larger boot based on sizing recommendations in hiking boot articles, and the 8 is a comfortable fit for my 7.5 size foot. Secure fit with thick or mid weight socks, they clean up nicely and keep ... MoreI am new to backpacking and purchased 3 pairs of boots to try out.

This is my third pair in 10 years. I like tall boots for day hikes and activities because it holds my ankles. Some people live in their tennis shoes, I live in my Lowas. They are light weight and well made. However it is not an aggressive 10 days strenuous hike type boot, it is more relax casual short hikes ones. Only downside I found that I wear out shoe lases before I wear out boots and sage colour shoe laces are not available for replacement, for example, so I just use paracord instead. Sizing is accurate as 39 European size is exactly US8 and they give it 1/2 size towards extra sock. As I read some sizing complaints I just wanted to give my two bits. Overall it is affordable and very well made boots.
I loved this boot - until I didn’t! I kept the boots at our cabin in north Idaho. Wore them hiking and working around our property. Not daily, and maybe some years not more than a few days a year. The soles and uppers show little wear. Today I was working to clean up some trees we had someone drop for us, and I wore the boots. When I came in after a couple of hours of work, the soles had delaminated and were breaking apart. The boots are shot. For boots I likely paid $150+ for 8 or 9 years ago, and the uppers are in great shape, I’m amazed that anyone can sell this ——. That REI, where I’ve been a member since 1974, will sell this defective product is amazing. Apparently, after doing some reading, this is a common problem with LOWA Renegrade GTX boots, and they thumb ... MoreI loved this boot - until I didn’t! I kept the boots at our cabin in north Idaho.

Use them every day, or they will fall apart! If anyone at REI questions my comments, I’d be happy to provide photos. You need to stop selling this product.
I have had 2 pairs of lowas. The first pair were alright. They were waterproof, but shrunk by 1 full size. The toe box was way too narrow for me so I bought a new pair. This pair was terrible quality. The stitching fell apart in 3 months and even though they have a 12 month warranty, Lowa refused to repair my boots. The second pair wasn’t waterproof at all (dewy grass would soak my feet through them). Lowa’s slogan is “simply better”. I have to give it to their marketing team because their product is simply the worst boot I’ve ever owned.1. Very narrow toe box - I have wide feet. My first pair was a regular boot and my toes were crushed in them. The second pair was wide and they were still too tight for my feet.2. The leather shrinks A LOT.

Both pairs shrunk by an entire size over the course of a few months even though I frequently treated the leather.3. They take a very long time to break in - by the time I broke the boots in they were falling apart4. Leather stitching falls apart and along with it the waterproofing disappears.I am a field biologist so I go through a lot of hiking boots. Trust me when I tell you DO NOT BUY THESE BOOTS. Save hundreds and buy a different boot.
A bit tough to break in but with over 100 miles on these now and like them a lot. These have been across snow, through water, on gravel, pavement, rock scrambling, up and down some pretty ugly mountain washes around Salt Lake City, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier National. The tread grips very well on all types of terrain and also wears well. I hiked about 26 miles in two days and never a hot spot blister or anything else. One thing to note, we hiked an 9 mile loop and it had rained the night before. The grass and weeds were dripping wet but no water puddles on the trail. After 3 hours in this stuff the leather had stopped repelling the water and the whole boot got wet...the outside. Seems the gortex liner did its job and kept the moisture at bay. I dried ... MoreA bit tough to break in but with over 100 miles on these now and like them a lot.

I dried them and treated with lowa active cream. Several days later on an 11 mile trail in similar conditions I had no issues at all. I would certainly buy these boots again.
I purchased the 11 Wide. I picked up at store, tried on, and swapped for 11.5 Wide. Having worn these for several miles, the toe box is far too narrow. In addition, the current Vibram sole does not grip well on wet surfaces or loose surfaces, building little grip even coming down on front of foot. The heel is also much looser than other Lowa boots. Even with top of the line separate insoles, there is little protection from feeling the soles. I own both the Camino GTX and the extreme weightbearing Tibets. It is worth the extra money to replace these with a new set of Camino GTX. Your mileage may vary, as always.165 lbs5’10”
I’ve had these hiking boots for about 2 years now and they are my all time favorite shoes to wear. They are extremely sturdy around the ankle area (for ankle support) and the grip is amazing. I have taken these shoes all over Latin America and they have served me so well. I was able to hike the rainbow mountain in these and I did not feel any foot pain despite wearing them for almost 12 hours. They are water proof and I have taken these on really wet hikes and have held up in the rain. The only downside is that these are slippery when you step on ice. Definitely recommend getting spikes with these. These boots are lightweight and the arch support is great. I can’t wait to take these on many more adventures.
