Wow, Lowa ruined an amazing pair of hiking boots. I wanted to believe and I was wrong. Versus the old shoes: these are tighter, more cramped, the tongue is much narrower, the heavy duty metal bracket at the last eyelet is gone. When I put my first Renegade Evo's on, they were comfortable and I could just wear them. These feel awful and if there's one thing I know about hiking boots, they have to be immediately comfortable
Ignore all the negative reviews about how badly these shoes have become in their āEVOā rendition. These are the most comfortable hiking/walking shoes Iāve ever worn! So comfortable and well made that I bought a second pair a month or so later. I give them 10 stars - five stars for each pair. The one downside is their high cost, reflecting their European origin and manufacturing, I suppose. I bought them on sale from REI, so the pinch wasnāt as bad as it could be. Ordered them a half size larger than my normal size. They fit perfectly, required no break in, and look like theyāll last for years.
