Customer Reviews Lowa Renegade GTX Mid

Im an a 7 wide since injuring both feet and ankles (it was worth the adventure). I am always in pain with all of the hardware but do not have any interest in changing our families outdoor lifestyle. These are fitted in all of the right places for a flat foot like mine. So much that I forget the hardware is still there. It is unbelievable how light weight they are especially with our long haul treks! We trek around the world, Iceland is our go-to [unpredictable weather, rain, slush, wet, COLD, wind, ice, unstable footing] and these boots are everything; reliable, the eye hooks are well designed for changing your lace patterns or just a standard lace up, and the ankle is super supportive and comfortable. Currently we are in an all season climate and these do great. In summer they are breathable enough, and winter they keep the cool out so it is understandable how they are one of the five pairs of shoes I own.

If you're buying these hikers after November 2020, I think you should ignore the reviews on sizing that indicated that it runs small if you're ordering wide width. I like the wide width for wearing thicker socks in winter and the fit is perfect. When I tried on the 8.5 wide hikers, they were much too big. Whatever issue Lowa had with correctly labeling the size has been remedied. I love these hikers. I am wearing them now, fresh out of the box, because they're so comfortable and I want to be sure my feet won't be in pain when I hike with them the first time. I wear hikers a lot in winter because I had frostbite multiple times (Wisconsin winters in my youth) and if my feet get cold then my whole body chills. They are pricey but totally worth it. The workmanship is seen and felt. Love them.

What a difference. Lowa is the only boot I could find in narrow. Fit like a glove. Use my own orthotics so cant speak to arch support. I have had other very good boots but did not realize how much i was sliding around in them until I got a corn. The true test will be when i next inspect a 460' tall dam. I will update my review once I put these boots to some real testing.

10 1/2 medium felt good on first contact with my feet. My previous ones the same but 1/2 size smaller- maybe 5 or more years old and some major hiking trips done. Feet grow. I have narrowish shoes but prefer room in my boots and these are great with medium wool socks.

Boot is super comfy, but the weight is a real problem! I’m used to wearing a super light boot, and unfortunately didn’t realize weight problem until after I’d recycled box. Otherwise, I’d return. IMHO, Not good for long hikes!

I am back to Lowa’s because they come in narrow widths. Tried other cheaper brands of hikers but I really need a narrow boot. So the expense is worth the fit. I still have replace the insole with one that has better arch support.

These boots are excellent. No break-in time needed. I bought them and hiked on the Appalachian Trail for a long weekend with no problems. They are very comfortable and have really solid traction. I felt secure hiking on rocky, leaf-covered surfaces. They are worth the money! Do yourself a favor and buy these boots. This is the first review I've ever written, but these are so good, I felt I needed to let others know.

Comfortable right out of the box! Warm and waterproof and great looking! Worth every penny.

I love Lowa boots. They fit my feet perfectly. This is my third pair. You just cannot go wrong with Lowa.

The shoes fit perfectly. Wore them for my morning walk 2 miles. Very comfortable.

They felt good the first time I wore them, then felt even better when I removed the cardboard inserts. LOL - guess I was excited to try my new shoes. They are so comfortable that I even forgot to change shoes when I headed out of town but they still looked good with what I was wearing. I have never owned a pair of hiking shoes but I am sold on my Lowa Renegades. Thanks for making an excellent product.

just as advertised this they are my 3rd pair of Lowa's - used for work daily

Best shoes ever! Put them on right out of the box and went hiking. I love these shoes!

Amazing! This boot feels like I slid my foot into such a nice comfy chair for it! Really comfortable right from the start! There is plenty of room in the toe box and not too much room where I'm tripping over my feet. The boots are light weight. Honestly, I'm so impressed with how light they are. How they feel so perfect on my feet. It's like these boots where designed around my feet. I do have narrower feet, but pretty average feet. Just really great boots! Well worth the price. I mean, you only get one pair of feet, so why not treat them with the best boot!

These are like WALKING ON AIR. Wonderful ankle and arch support. Easy to lace. Lightweight. Haven’t taken them hiking yet but they’ll be put to the test in a couple weeks! Love the tongue sewn with a “webbing” fabric to the shoe to prevent water (or anything else) from getting inside.

Wonderful boots. Finally a brand that still makes "narrow". Comfortable from the start, no need to break in.

This is my 2nd pair of these boots. The fit and support are excellent. They are the only hiking boots I've found that fit my narrow (7N) foot.

These were the only hiking boots that I could find that were listed as narrow but they did not feel very narrow. They were also long for a size 10. The other thing that i did not like was that they are hard to lace tightly. It pretty much takes 4 hands to tie them tightly.

These boots make my feet so happy. They are wonderful boots. I loved them so much I looked for this brand for my husband, who wears Mephisto. He is so happy with his pair as well.

Review for the wide width versions: There is no way these boots are sized wide and/or there's no way Lowa tested these on real people with wide feet. I triple checked the label and, while it says "wide," these do not even come close to fitting my feet. It's not just that the toe box isn't wide enough, the whole bottom of the shoe isn't wide enough, and my feet overlap the edges of the sole noticeably. This isn't something I can fix with breaking in the boots or stretching the sides of the boot. I typically don't write reviews, but this was just too absurd not to post about. Everything looks otherwise well made. These boots keep coming up at the top of "best hiking boots" lists, and I really wish I could fit them.

These are the best hiking boots I’ve tried! I bought them to replace a pair of Ecco hiking boots that lasted me 6 years. The eccos definitely had more arch support but I’m not sure I liked that. These Lowas have removable insoles so I could always add more if needed. The lacing system and ankle support is excellent and not uncomfortable at all! Also, they don’t make my size 10 feet look huge, they are actually very flattering! I definitely recommend these boots!

These boots felt smaller than the last pair (same model) I bought. Had to order a full size up, but when I got the right size they felt great!

This is my second pair of Lowa hikers. Loved the first ones and still have them after 10 years. Wanted a second pair as am out every day during the Covid. Love the second pair as much as the first. Good support, comfortable from the first day.

The absolute perfect hiking boot! I'm so thrilled with this purchase after a long search for the perfect all-terrain boot. Surprisingly lightweight, great ankle support, and super comfy. Highly recommend this boot!

I would have given this five stars if the arch support had been better . I had to put orthotics in them in order to give me some arch support but other than that they are nice and narrow which I needed.
