This is, by far, the best feeling boot I have ever worn. The one exception is that the toe box narrows a bit too much on my right foot causing my third toe to feel the end of the boot unless I set my heel firmly to the back of the heel pocket and lace the boot tightly, which is not uncomfortable once I lock my foot in position with the third set of hooks from the top. This sets the laces below the third hooks and allows me to tighten the above two hooks independently. I wear size 15 and have difficulty finding a boot that fits. I will order another pair when available to use for the outdoors and begin to use the ones I have to work in. These are very supportive boots with good traction on any of the terrain I have used them. They are a great product.

I purchased my Lowa boots about 5-6 months ago. Like other reviews, I wear work boots for a living. I was wearing Georgia's and then switched to Wolvereines. I ended up having plantar fascia issues. I did not switch back to Georgia's because the model I wore does not have removable insoles. So I started thinking. The most comfortable boots I wear are typically my hiking boots. I set out to buy a good pair of hiking boots. I purchased Lowa Renegades. I also purchased insoles from Foot Fix online. Best pair of boots I have ever worn. I have also hiked in them and they are great in any setting, right out of the box.

I bought these boots not to do extensive hiking in, but because I have an advanced tendon problem in my foot, and even with my custom orthotics, my foot needs a lot of ankle support that I can't get in an athletic shoe. These are perfect! Comfortable right out of the box and a great, sturdy shoe.

Love these boots. Both my husband and I bought a pair- both of us have feet issues, plantar fascia, arch pain, etc. He has worn work boots everyday, typically Justin or RedWing, and he says these are the best boots he has ever had. I agree. Nice fit around heel and no sore areas. Did replace the insoles with green Superfeet for more arch support.

My pair arrived the day before we left on vacation, and I did 10 miles in them the first time I took them out of the box. (I did replace the insoles with Superfeet first). Have worn them on several more hikes since and will take them down North Kaibab and up Bright Angel soon. Good support, good traction, very comfortable. I generally wear size 11, but because my feet tend to swell a little, I ordered these in a size 12, and they're perfect.
