Great boot!
Bpack12 years ago
I am a professional backpacking guide in CO, and rely on my gear each and every day. I was wearing the Asolo Fugitive boots, and I decided to trade them in for these Lowas. I am more than happy in my purchase! I bought them and with out breaking them in I climbed the Wetterhorn and Matterhorn (the ones in Colorado) and had no troubles! No blisters or hot spots. I was on class 3 and 4 routes and the boots handled great! I would absolutely recommend these boots to anybody!

Comfortable but not worth the money
Hardacre7 years ago
I bought and wore these boots for only four months before the construction started to deteriorate. I was wearing them as my daily boot walking around lawns and quoting landscape projects. They were only on two CO 3 day packback trips. I took them back to my local REI hoping to get a return, unfortunately they told me that since I didn’t wear them for their intended purpose I was not going to get a full refund. I’m sorry REI, a $300 dollar boot should last me more than four months of walking. I would recommend not buying these boots. If they only lasted four months in yards, I can’t imagine how long they would last with a backpack on hiking rough terrain.

Good Lineman boots
6 years ago
Used these boots in many different environments for various types of line work (overhead climbing and underground, etc). I was especially happy to have them survive the Arizona summers of 115°+ this past year where my La Sportiva makalau boots failed (de-laminated) in 6 months the previous year. I’ve owned 4 pairs of sportiva’s before this. these are the only boots I’ve had where the soles wore at the same rate as the rest of the boot with the abuse I put them through. I liked them so much I bought another pair.

Very Stiff and Staples for Interior Stab Into Heel
2 years ago
I owned these boots for about 4-5 months before taking them on a backpacking trip. I broke them in with shorter hikes and daily work around the house (brush clearing, cutting up fallen trees, etc.) Their first real hike was nothing more than a steep fire road leading down to The Lost Coast in Ca. When I took them on my hike they were great until we had to descend the fire road. I thought I had something stuck right under the heel of my foot, I kept moving my foot around thinking it was a small rock until I couldn’t take the annoyance anymore. Upon removing my shoe I found nothing, investigating further I removed the thin insole to inspect it. This is where I found the metal staple, placed perfectly under the heel bone of my foot. In my head I thought it was some sort of mistake on my part, I mean who puts a staple under the heel of your foot? Even if it’s to hold the shoe together, you’re telling me it can’t go ANYWHERE else, Lowa? Anyway, this was very disappointing to say the least, and it HURT after a 6 mile descent of constant stabbing heel pain. Whatever, things happen and my shoe may have gotten passed over on their final review before selling. I will exchange and get another pair. Right? WRONG, this was only the beginning of my issues, on the climb UP said hill from The Lost Coast I started feeling a burn on my heels, this never really deters me as I’m used to blisters and usually don’t get them too bad. So I continued for a couple of miles with this heel rubbing, until I couldn’t take it anymore, I carry Leuko tape for these situations, so I threw it on and it helped immensely. When I returned to my car I took off my boots and Leuko tape and Oh My Goodness I have never had a blister bigger or more painful than this, like the inside of the shoe was made of hard rock and slowly rubbed at the top layers of my skin until I received the worst blisters I’ve had in my entire life. I added a picture of the heel cup where you can see the harsh angle the heel takes and the edge protruding from that angle. This is what caused my bad blistering uphill. It made for a pretty painful, but mostly just disappointing hike. Disappointing because I LOVE my Lowa Renegades and can’t believe this is the next step up from those. Maybe if you take more time to break these in with tougher break in hikes they would be better for you than they were for me. From my experience, I cannot and will not recommend these to anyone. I’ll recommend the Renegades any day and plan on getting a new pair in the future. I hope this helps anyone looking at these shoes. I’ve heard and read a lot of great things so weigh what I say against reviews that may speak to you a bit more. Just hope this helps. 2 stars because I know these are good shoes and loved them UNTIL I took them on a backpacking trip. They have features I really liked and they were great until my first real trip. I cannot recommend them though and am disappointed in the craftsmanship.

Failed on long hunt & Lowa doesn't stand behin
3 years ago
I purchased these for my winter hunting backpack trips. Since i live in Arizona, I only wear them a couple times a year. When I bought these nobody said they needed to be worn regularly as they say now. Will never buy Lowa boots again (and I love my Renegades on my 3rd and last pair) ECCO shoes had the same problem and ECCO stood behind their product. $300 is too much for non-resoleable boots.

Seriously good boot
13 years ago
Impressive boot - stability and traction can't be beat. The Lowa Camino locks to the sole of my foot. There is a comfortable, but gripping, heel cup, and a depression for the ball of my foot that locks me in position. Uphill or down, this boot works both ways. I sense a fairly broad and stable front sole, with a narrow, more rounded heel. Wasn't sure I would like this, since it feels like the reverse of normal, but it does work great. Traction on rough granite is impressive. No problems day-hiking in the Sierras. Looking forward to using them in extended trips this fall. Camino is definitely waterproof, so use a good boot dryer.

Boots coming apart after one elk season
5 years ago
I purchased these boots at REI in spring 2019 in preparation for archery elk hunt in Colorado in September 2019. After two weeks in the field, the rubber rands on the toe began to peel, along with the toe cap. Typical use, up and down the mountain, across streams, side hilling, etc. REI will not stand behind this product because I did not save my receipt and was not a member at time of purchase. LOWA has not been any help either, as I have not gotten a response to any of my email inquiries or returns from my phone calls to customer service. Save your money and buy AMERICAN like Kennetrek or Danner. I will not purchase another Lowa product nor would I recommend to any one.

Not for the soft footed

I really wanted to like this boot. They seemed to have it all going on. Good reviews, able to take the elements. In fact I took this boot to the summit of Mt Baker and Mt Rainier in August. Crampons worked perfect. I was a happy Mt climber. Then I did a little overnight backpacking trip into Kjos Morsardalur glacial river valley in Skaftafell National Park, Iceland. All I can say these boots killed the soles of my feet after 4 hrs walking on hard ground and they were even more grueling on the way back out. A little more cushion would have gone a long way. Plus elements are the ball bearing lace up feature and the solid waterproofing exterior.

Great comfort, poor durability
4 years ago
The fit and comfort of this boot was good. I'd definitely recommend better insoles if you're using them for real backpacking. Decent ankle support. Unfortunately, the rubber on the toes started peeling off on the first trip I took them on, a 4-day backpacking trip in the Adirondacks. They were still waterproof by the end, but it's clear the rubber is necessary to protect the toes, so it's probably only a short matter of time before they wear through. I'd probably just glue them back together if they weren't so expensive. For $325, there should be no issues whatsoever for years. It's a shame too, it would be a great boot if they had just used slightly thicker rubber.

Great pair of boots!
9 years ago
Broke in for about 30 miles then took on John Muir Trail thru-hike this summer. No blisters at all. Lacing system is excellent, permitting heel locking while leaving the forefoot as loose as you want. With other boots, I always had to use custom lacing techniques. Once tied, I never had to adjust them. I like the "stud" on the tongue to keep it from moving during the day. They breath very well, but my feet did get a bit humid on tough days. Very durable. Boots held up to Sierra granite with minimal wear. Mine still look better than most I see at a "garage sale!" Worth the price!
