Customer Reviews Lowa Renegade GTX Mid

I have narrow feet so it is difficult finding hiking boots to fit. I saw that these Lowa's came in narrow widths so decided to try them. They are very well made! Expensive but worth it for me. I am a true size 6.5. Normally I would order a half size larger in an athlete shoe, but went with the 6.5 narrow. The length is prefect, and so is the width. They seem to wrap my foot so I expect them to be good up/down hills. The foot box could be a bit wider, but it still works for me. The boots are a little stiff, which I expected due to being a very stable shoe, so allow a break in period. Wore them around the house for a day, then outside walking on dirt path for an hour today. Excellent service from Zappos, as always!

They are perfect. Highly recommend.

It was nice to have hiking boots that fit my narrow foot.

This review is on shoes I bought 5 years ago after recovering from a broken ankle. Were so comfortable from day one. Also got the lower version. Disappointed reading the newer reviews. sounds like they may have restyled this hiking boot. Too bad as the 5 year old shoe is very comfortable.

Loved these boots the minute I took them out of the box. Put them on and went for a short hike and they are a perfect fit at a medium width. I had a pair of Keen's and really like the wide shoebox and was hoping for the best with these, and was not let down. I had a bone spur removed in December and these are the first shoes that I have been able to put on without taking the insoles out. They are made extremely well and worth every penny. Happy!!

I just ordered these boots in a narrow and they fit really well and seem to be very comfortable The surprise was that you should order these the same size as you would dress shoes, not running shoes which I typically order 1.5 sizes up.

I bought these because this brand and model are my husband’s favorites. Sadly, the W width was way too narrow for my WW feet. (Lowa, please make a WW size,). Also, the toe box was so small that, combined with the width issue, I couldn’t even get my feet into them. Too bad. The color (taupe/sepia) was beautiful.

Sturdy, comfortable and waterproof. After one wearing at home, I wore these hiking in Norway. We climbed mountains and it rained every day; No blisters and my feet stayed dry. I did put in some cushier insoles. In street shoes I wear a size 6.5 C or 7 C, and I bought these in an 8 wide. They are good little boots.

I was unaware of the Lowa brand before purchasing these hiking boots two weeks ago. Based on all of the positive reviews, I took a chance on buying the boots and taking them on our family vacation which included some hiking in the woods and walking in a city. The boots were very comfortable and provided a great deal of support while keeping my feet cool. I would definitely recommend these boots.

I think these are very comfortable, and true to size. They are also very lightweight which I like. I have narrow feet and a high arch, and I have bought Lowa's before with great success. I am looking forward to wearing these for many years.

I have one foot that runs a bit wide so I ordered the wide. they fit well as I wear with mid-weight cushy hiking socks. I bought these boots after I sprained and ankle and they provide secure and comfortable support for my ankle. I have worn them on a couple of shorted hikes/walks and they are very comfortable, no rubbing anywhere.

Finally I replaced my old pair with a new one and I hope it will last as well. My new pair is comfortable from the start. It is totally waterproof. I wear them in summer and in winter in a snow. I always travel with a pair of Lowa no matter on a season of year. I cannot imagine different brand for my hiking boot. I am hooked on Lowa. I had the same model of shoes for 14 years before finally they fell apart on me. I did not want to give up my boots that were with me since 2000 till 2014 all over the world. I told my husband that I will wear them until they disintegrate while I am was wearing them. I stayed true to my vow. They fell apart on me in Barcelona in autumn of 2014. I definitely recommend Lowa Renegade. By the way, Zappos service is incredible.

I'm new to hiking but just retired so finally have time to do so many things I've always wanted to do. I read quite a lot online, especially Hiking Lady. Who has quite a bit to say about narrow feet, which I have. I wore these inside my house for one day, decided they did seem to fit, then put them back in the box and debated for 2 months. I finally wore them out of the house on a cold, very rainy day. What fun to be able to slosh through mud and puddles! I've worn them on hikes quite a few times, wearing toe socks plus thick socks. No blisters, no painful spots. In this newbie's opinion, they're great!

I know these are expressive, but I hike a lot and have had five foot surgeries. I'm a disabled veteran. These are the most comfortable boots I have.

LOVE THESE BOOTS. Used these boots on a week long hike on the Appalachian trail. To be honest, I didn't break them in at all (dumb I know) but they worked out perfectly, no blisters or sore feet at all!

This boot is not a true wide, unfortunately am sending it back.

These are my first pair of real hiking boots. In the past I've used trail running shoes and didn't know what I was missing out on! These handle uneven ground with ease and make you feel so secure when scrambling up or down a mountain. Traction is great and makes you feel like you could conquer the world! I have issues with my arch but had no pain with these. I got these on super sale at a store closing and bought a size 6 because that's all that was left. Normally I'm a size 6.5 or 7, on the low end of a 7. The 6 feels fine most of the time but my baby toe did start to feel a bit cramped after 3 hours of hiking a moderate grade, mostly from the downhill not so much uphill. My boyfriend had the men's version and he says his stretched out by at least 1/2 a size over time so here's hoping. The next pair I purchase will likely be a 6.5 though. I will never go back to trail running shoes and will surely replace this pair with another.

As one might notice from the photo, these boots are for rugged trails, and maybe for backpacking, rather heavy duty. Too wide for my narrow feet and a wide heel bed, cause my heel to slip. They are made very well.

Lowa is the first boot that is actually has narrows. If I were on a backpacking hike, these boots would be prefect, but for day hikes they are just too much of a heavy duty boot. They are made very well and hopefully there is a lot cut trail shoe that is cut narrow. I run in a New Balance 9½, and that is what I ordered, but slightly wide in the heel, but I have very thin and narrow heels.

Excellent boots. I've only gone hiking with them once, but I walked six miles and the boots were comfortable and kept my ankle stable. I normally take an extra wide, but these only had a wide option. They're a bit snug at the widest part of my foot. I'm sure the leather will stretch a bit and in the meantime, they were comfortable loosely tied.

I love this boot! I have a narrow foot and this one holds on and is much appreciated. I replaced the insole with my orthotics and they work beautifully. No blisters so far even on wet hikes. My one and only complaint is that their grip-ness on slippery surface is not great and I'd love for them to correct this. The fit is so good that I put up with it, but would really like to see improvement.

I thought they are going to be too narrow when I first tried them on, but they broke in immediately. They are so comfortable and they keep my feet warm and dry.

I have medium to widish feet with low arches. The 10 wide was so comfortable but just not quite wide enough in the toe box. So I went up half a size and wear heavier socks and have finally found my perfect hiking boot. \

I purchased these boots when I was having some foot problems when walking or hiking moderate distances (3-5 miles). Looking for a sturdy-soled shoe that would bend only little when pressure was applied. These have been AMAZING boots. I spent a great deal of time with about 5 different sizes of the boots, different widths and lengths. I purchased these at a half size larger than my regular shoe size, to give room in the toe. And with wide feet, also the Wide width. Once I found the sweet spot, BAZINGA, I almost want to wear them all the time. The traction is also decent, and I've had no trouble hiking in snow in them, though I definitely need to be cautious on packed snow/ice. For one recent walk, I went in some running shoes, but decided to put on these boots, which had been sitting in my trunk freezing. No more than 10 minutes later, my toes were toasty and warm, though even in the summer my feet did not get too hot. Stock, I'm not entirely certain that the arch support is perfect, but I did add a pair of Superfeet early on, and it was a match made in my foot-comfort heaven. No doubt they'll last me years, and I'm not sure I'll go for any other hiking boot.

I've only had these boots for a few days, but WOW! I love them. They are comfortable, perfect fit and grip the snow easily. I unloaded a few thousand feet of lumber with no problems and can't wait to take them on the trail.
