Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I've had these boots for about 5 years and have worn them for everything from office to backpacking. I love them BUT after a year or so, the seams started coming apart where my foot bends. They were repaired by REI last summer, and the same thing is already happening again. Everything else about them is great, but I'm going to try a boot with fewer seams next time.

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I just took these from Oregon mountains to SoCal deserts. Three weeks ago, I was exploring Mount Hood (just beneath the snow line) on a few day-hikes with friends. It was chilly, wet, slippery, etc but these boots held up. I never needed to worry about where I was stepping, I simply moved on through without concern. Needing to traverse creek beds by jumping on wet rock, AMAZING traction. No break in time, feet never wet (foot went under water several times, though not above the ankle). Coming from a background in the Navy, break in time, waterproofing, and breathability are hard to balance and sooo important to a good, long adventure. This design does it all, though. This past weekend, I then took the boots with me to Joshua Tree Natl Park, a high desert region with incredible bouldering and rock face climbing. I left my rock climbing shoes at home since they need resoling, and I managed to keep up with the crew on every surface while bouldering and top roping. The straight edges of the boot allow you to actually rock climb with them, so I could go from scaling boulders to hiking spiky trails without any time lost. It was about 95*F and my feet never sweat. Also, the rocks out there did not wear out the shoe at all- not a scratch on them. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE: The bottom of this shoe is very well cushioned, and sturdy. This cuts down on your ability to "feel the natural terrain" underneath you, so it takes some getting used to. I can't drive with them because I can never feel the pressure I'm exerting on the pedals. I'm sure this will become easier eventually, but for those of you who like that moccasin feel to hiking (I used to absolutely need it in a shoe, no matter the pain it brought, as it may me much more secure in my movements), this shoe may not be for you. Otherwise, I give it an A++!!!

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I have had these boots for close to 10 years. I bought them before a 4 mo trip to Kenya. I hurt my foot badly in Kenya while wearing sandals, and these boots saved me because they were stiff and supportive. I hiked up Mt Kenya in them, and I never had any issues with blisters. Since then, I have used these boots for everything from snowshoeing, outdoor work, causal hikes, and backpacking trips. About 2 years ago, the seems started to fail where the boot connects to the sole. We used some shoe goo to seal up the seams, but now they have gotten to the point where they look like frankenstein! I would consider buying these boots again, but given all of the issues that others have reported on similar seam splitting, I think that I will try a different brand.

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I've had these for probably 6-7 years, and they were perfect from Day 1. Now the soles are coming unglued and the sole filler is disintegrating. Okay, so they have been quite a few miles in mud, rain, bogs, [...] grocery aisles, pastures, boats, and just around and about. I have various foot problems (bunions, mild arthritis) and these are by far my most comfortable walking/hiking/outdoor shoes of any I ever wear. I considered shopping around just because that's what women do, then decided "why bother?" -- these were perfect for more than 6 years, so I'll just click and replace.

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I have used these boots for the past 12 years (at least). I've had five pairs now, and my most recent pair has just failed on one shoe at the same spot that ALL PREVIOUS FIVE PAIRS have failed; at the outside edge at the ball of the foot, on the seam. Last year I finally wrote Lowa directly, telling them how much I love these boots, but can't they do something about the consistent seam failure? I sent them photos, and offered to send them the boots as well. No response. Very disappointing, because otherwise, it's a great boot. They do hold up well for quite awhile under tough usage, but I would think for the price, they could improve what seems like the only real defect they have. I didn't realize so many other people had the same problem with them....Lowa, please listen!!

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I hiked in these boots on a 4 day trip in the Grand Canyon and I wore them with sock liners and hiking socks. Everyone else on my trip got blisters but I did not. These boots kept my feet dry when splashing through streams, provided good ankle support when my ankles were tired, and laced well to give specific parts of my foot and ankle more or less support as I needed them to. [...]the most "forgiving" boots [...]. They moved with my feet and as I was hiking downhill, there was enough room and I was able to lace the ankles tight enough that my toes did to slam into the boot. I will wear these boots for years!

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
My Lowa GTX boots have lasted longer that some of the people, places, and hiking trails I've traveled. For over 6 years, these boots were perfect out of the gate. From casual wearing to mild running, indoors or outdoors, working alongside of or simply teaching the public about wildlife these are the best boots I've used at my job. While on a business trip, I used another pair of work-boots so I wouldn't wear out my Lowas. But, I quickly re-booted after a days hiking about in the other boots. That's because of the great ankle support and high-arch support my Lowas provide. My foot is small, size 5, with a AA-narrow in-step. My only complaint is that they fit a little too tight, which can be resolved by loosening the laces. I can't comment on backcountry or wet weather because I hike below the tree line and on sunny-to-cloudy days. I have used them in areas where there has been light snow from 2-feet or less. My feet were nice and cozy!

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
I've been wearing these boots for more than six years and am about to buy another pair. I've had them re-stitched twice just to keep them going, but they are finally wearing out now. They are comfortable from the first day I put them on. I wear them all winter, in mud season, summer and fall, walking my dog at the state park, hiking in Colorado and Big Bend. I even wear them grocery shopping and around the house (I can forget I have them on!). They run a little big, at least they did when I bought them 6+ years ago, so I bought a half size smaller. I love 'em.

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
These boots seemed like a good deal at first. I work as a field tech for the USFS in the Sierra Nevadas, and so I need a good sturdy boot for field work. They came highly recommended by the guy in the boot department, and virtually no break-in period was needed. These weren't the most comfortable... the fit was good, but they were lacking in the "cushioning" department, so I gave them a try figuring I can alway buy inserts. I bought these boots back in June, and about 2 weeks ago I noticed the sole was starting to peel back near the toe. Then, when I was out hiking this past weekend I noticed that the sole was starting to come unglued from the other boot near the heel. I'm so glad REI has the return policy it does, because I am not impressed with these boots at all. I should have never turned away from my Merrels!

Comments about Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:
Okay, these boot are awesome. I am a tall, skinny, light weight guy. So, I do not need hard-core, boulder kicking boots. I am light on my feet. These Lowa boots feel like trail running shoes with ankle support.
My Lowas have about 600 trail miles on them. Did the JMT last summer. Not one blister in them! They are still some what water proof with minor tears in the usually spots. The souls still look almost new.
