Customer Reviews Lowa Renegade GTX Mid

These boots fit true to size and feel very substantial. They do not feel cheap or thin. Arch support is good without being too much. I really purchased them for the ankle support and they did not disappoint. I roll my ankles quite frequently and not only do these boots lace up tight around the ankle, the tongue and opening for which you put your foot in, it’s very roomy. So if you’re trying to fit this boot over another ankle support or brace, you shouldn’t have any problems. I highly recommend these boots. The only down side is that now I have no excuse to push mow my hilly back yard with lots of animal holes. Darn.

I truly have been living in this boot since it arrived. I have not been able to find an athlete shoe OR sandal for summer wear. Fortunately, in Colorado, no one thinks twice about hiking boots with shorts! Lucky me!

These boots are perfect! I have been wearing Lowa's for many years and this is now my 3rd pair of this model. I am a 6 1/2 B with narrow heels and use orthotics for over-pronation. I wear a 7 B in these boots and the fit and support is excellent. I wear these boots everyday in NYC as I have been having trouble finding a sneaker that works for me. I have also worn them on more challenging terrain and they are terrific all year round. The waterproofing only works for the first few years, and then begins to fade, so I eventually waterproof them myself to extend their life. Lastly, I get so many compliments on these boots from complete strangers! I would highly recommend them.

Length seemed OK, but they were pretty narrow. I ordered my normal size in a WIDE, but the shoe still rubbed on both sides of my foot near the ball of the foot. The shoe it self is nice otherwise.

Prior to this I had a great pair of Lowa hiking boots. They were the best ever. Sadly I can’t recall the name, so I ordered these. Liked the look. Just too small! Shoot. They were a size 11. They felt 1/2 size too small.

Sadly, due to changes in my feet, I'm returning these AWESOME boots. They are the best. It's my hammer toes that suck :(

I love these boots!! After spending a few months researching hiking boots I finally gave in and bought a pair. I work with rescue dogs so I am on my feet outside all day. I also enjoy long hikes in the backcountry on my days off but I have weak ankles so I wanted something with ankle support. These boots are awesome!! No hot spots, no blisters, no foot pain even after my first day wearing them. They support my feet so well and are totally waterproof. I wear them as snow boots here in Colorado and they are wonderful! I am considering buying the insulated pair as well because after about 5 hours or so my feet begin to feel cold. But with the right socks this is avoidable. A few months in and there is no sign of wear or anything falling apart with these shoes. These are now my go-to hiking and work boot!

I wanted these to work because they are great looking boots and appear to be durable. Unfortunately, not enough space for my toes.

This is an AWESOME pair of boots. I was fitted at a popular hiking equipment store with this boot last year. Unforturtunately then did a bad job of fitting me and the boots were too small. For the majority of my hiking experiences over the past year, they were fine. However after an extensive steep hike I ended up losing a toenail. Had this store taken the inserts out and had me stand on them, it would have been clear that my toes were going to rub on steep hikes. But, these are such a great boot that I ordered a new pair from Zappos--a size larger. I'm looking forward to pain free hiking again. Since I live in a rural area, it was so convenient to just order the new ones. Great service and very happy with the new boots. Highly recommend them. Maybe Zappos could also offer advice on the proper fitting of hiking boots so no one makes the same expensive mistake that I did?

I have been wearing the Lowa Renegade brand hiking boot for more than 20 years and they've never let me down. I wear a women's US 7.5 Wide in all my shoes and these are a perfect fit and required almost no break-in period. They look good and they feel good, and they last forever, and so why would I wear anything else?

This boot seems to be a great boot. Well made and great quality. I purchased in 6w and 6.5w to see what fit best. I just had a screw replaced in a toe and wanted a great boot to wear with thicker socks to protect toe and add a little cushioning. The 6.5w was a good fit. However, the right boot seemed to pull my foot inward, which did not seem natural. I would have exchanged for another 6.5w, but none in stock in all three colors. May have just been that particular boot.

THe toe box on this hiking shoe is too narrow: a hiking shoe needs enough toe space to handle hiking for several hours up as well as down hill.

great boot

Skinny in Toronto! My regular shoe size is 8.5 AAAA. There were no boots to be found in Canada to replace the 8.5 AA boots that New Balance has discontinued, and Lowa does not distribute any narrow fit boots to the Canadian market. With a heavy orthotic in the boot, thicker socks, and by lacing the boot right to the top these Lowa boots are wearable. Zappos USA saved the day for me, and if anyone knows of other narrow hiking boots please let me know!

Finally, hiking boots in a women’s narrow

Great for narrow feet. Got the same size as running shoes but in narrow width. No blisters right out of the box!

The sizing of the shoe was perfect. This issue I had is that it had little to no arch support. Otherwise, I would have kept the boots. They are very well made and appeared as if they would last for a long time!

I think you sent the wrong size boots

My favorite ankle height boot! Perfect fit.

This is my 3rd pair of Lowa boots. Last pair I got 1 year ago and I noticed stitching around seam near laces was unraveling. I called Zappos to find out how I could contact Lowa and was told that I should send the boots back to Zappps and they would issue refund or send a new pair! My last 2 pair of Lowa boots each lasted approx 3 1/2 years with daily wear so I was sure it was a defect in this boot and not shoddy workmanship. Lowa boots are workhorses and when regularly treated with waterproofing and boot polish, they are well worth the investment.

I bought a pair of Lowa Renegades some 15 years ago and have hiked everywhere from Finland to Panama in them. I have narrow feet so finding a pair of hiking boots that fit me is not easy, but my Renegades were extremely comfortable and sturdy. However, the soles finally started deteriorating and I needed a new pair. The new Renegades are pretty much identical to my original pair, giving me the same excellent comfort and fit.

This was the only hiking boot I could find anywhere in a women's 11.5. I usually don't pay this much for boots but these are really nice and light with good ankle support. They are streamlined and understated and I don't feel like they look huge even know they are 11.5. I'm happy with them.

Perfect fit and stability. No break in time. I wore these out of the box for a 7 mile hike in Acadia National park and my feet were still happy at end of hike! I have worn these for many years and am always pleased to get a brand new pair to accompany me on many of my hiking adventures!

I have been wearing these boots for over 2 years, and I absolutely love them! After all the miles that I have put on them, they show little wear. They were very comfortable right out of the box, and continue to be today. I have a difficult time finding footwear for my size 6.5AA feet, and often have to settle for what I can find. That was not the case with these boots - I absolutely love them!! They are very well made and are true to fit. I have no complaints whatsoever about them.

I found this boot to run 1 full size smaller than my usual size. Also, runs a bit on the narrow side. I do a lot of hiking and need a hiking boot with plenty of room in the toe box, for a nerve impingement problem I have in the metatarsals. I'm not sure this boot will work for me. The wide width is not currently available.
