By far its closest competitor is the salomon quest 4d 3 gtx which is another great option for difficult day hikes and long backpacking trips they re also fairly even in weight on our scale in a men s size 9 the renegade weighs 2 pounds 10 ounces and the quest 4d is slightly more.

Lowa hiking boots review.

Since 2014 ross has personally tested more than 50 boots and shoes over 1000 trail miles. See our guide to the best hiking boots of 2020 with reviews of top men s and women s hiking boots from salomon lowa merrell vasque and more. The lowa renegade gtx mid hiking boots men s and women s had excellent traction even over loose rocks. Men s there is no direct women s equivalent but the mauria gtx is close weight pair.

Built on an exclusive lowa women s last for optimal fit and comfort. The lowa renegade gtx mid is a popular hiking boot for many good reasons. 325 for the serious backcountry hikers child carriers and veritable pack mules among us the waterproof lowa camino is our pick. Many lowa boots don t have the break in period typical of other hiking boots so you can experience a comfortable boot nearly out of the box.

With hiking boots for any season lowas are hard to beat. It has more stability than the best bang for buck winner though it is a bulkier fit than that lower cut model. New boot look and feel great and again no break in. A firm polyurethane pu midsole is ultrasupportive and should last season after season of heavy duty hiking if you correctly.

The lowa renegade is a year round favorite for hikers backpackers and snowshoers alike. Ideal for day hiking and short haul weekend backpacking because they re phenomenally comfortable supportive and cushioned. Wonder how long these boots will hold up. The lacing system locked our heels in place too and the tongue came up high enough.

It has comfortable wrap around ankle support and is a good choice for thru hiking and day tripping alike. Buy a pair of boot with a rubber toe guard in the front like most hiking boot have and this will avoid separation. Ross is a senior review editor at outdoorgearlab and led our hiking boot and hiking shoe testing from 2014 2017. Wrote to lowa and their customer server had me ship me the boots and they reviewed and shipped me back a new pair in 2 weeks or less.

He has lived and backpacked in thailand peru and germany with at least 500 miles hiked in each country.
