My husband and I are avid hikers. We live by Acadia National Park, and hike pretty much everyday (weather willing). I had a pair of Keen before, and they were great. But these Lowa boots are amazing. So comfortable right out of the box. No need to break in at all. Simple, but stylish. And great quality!

Bought it on Nov. 2019, and I wear it once/twice a week. However I found it was broken last month, I asked my friend, he has the same one and bought at the same time with me. We also go hiking together, his shoes are fine. But mine is opened!

Officially on my second pair of these bad boys after FINALLY having to replace the first pair. I'll be honest, the price tag seemed a little steep when I purchased my first pair, but then I tried them out and it was love at first hike!!! I have a weak ankle from an old soccer injury, which used to be a huge roll hazard, but since purchasing these I haven't had post-hike ankle pain in years. I easily put thousands of miles on my first pair over a period of about five years. I live in the PNW and hike/snowshoe year round, so we're talking all weather types here. These puppies keep my feet dry in pouring rain and while fording alpine runoff in the cascades, warm enough snow camping in the enchantments, as well as cool enough on the hottest days. The tread is also amazing on muddy, slippery terrain. The longest I've worn them was on a five day backcountry trek, and honestly, the only thing that wasn't hurting after were my feet thanks to these gems. One thing to mention, I'm typically a true size 8, but wear an 8.5 in these. If you are an avid hiker, buy them, your feet will thank you!!!

Bought theses for my lady and this is what she had to say “Not only do they look awesome but are super comfortable. Didn’t even need to break them in before doing a 10 mile hike”

I wore a similar pair for well over 15 years & LOVE LOVE LOED them into the ground. Waterproof, fairly breathable & very comfy - inherited bunions over the years & desperately wanted a new pair to work. Afraid toe box not quite roomy enough & worried seam may hit top of bunion on right foot & cause issues. Hesitant & Sad to return

I just tried my boots for the first time in a 4.5 hour hike which was steep and very rugged and rocky. I was kind of worried because most hiking boots require or need some break-in period. Not these. These are the most comfortable boots with absolutely no break-in period required. They stuck to the rockface very well, and provided very good ankle support. The fit was spot on for me, so I would say they run true to size.

The design and weight of this boot is flawless. Looking foward to breaking them in.

I tried on over 15 pairs of hiking boots while shopping and was so excited to find these. As soon as I put them on my foot I knew they were the ones! The Renegades have a perfectly snug fit, great support, and are built to be bombproof. The price tag was a bit intimidating but these will hold up for years to come. I am an 8 and they fit true to size.

Finally! A boot that doesn't cramp my style, adventure, or foot. These are supportive and durable. I suggest sizing up a tad bit for the sake of not having crammed toes and being able to wear thicker socks. Great at regulating foot temp. These have been way nice for me especially cause I am the queen at rolling my ankle, and boy have these renegades saved me from some sprains and twists.
THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKIN!

I love the construction of this boot. It is light, cute, and comfy! I ordered a 7 and a 7.5. I found that I am literally right inbetween the two sizes! I even tried multiple socks with them. The 7 was a little tight on the top of my foot, the 7.5 was perfect but my heel slipped. I wish they would have worked out for me, but I had to go with a different boot.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!! I needed a good pair of boots to use on longer more strenuous hikes. These are definitely the boots for that! They are soo supportive and perfect for those long hikes. I love that they have everything; Gore-Tex, Vibram soles, and leather! They look awesome and perform well! I have used them on many hikes, varying in distance, level and heat. They have preformed well on all of them! They keep me dry. My feet don't feel too hot in them when it is hot, and they also do a good job of keeping my feet comfortable in the cold. They have great support and help keep your feet from getting to tired. I love the look of them and couldn't be more happy with my purchase!!

The fit on them was also great! They fit me true to size. There was plenty of room to spare, so my toes don't hit the front when hiking and have room to swell when it is hot. The toe box is roomy and feels comfortable. I had enough room for a hiking sock as well. If you are on the cusp I would recommend sizing up! You really don't want your toe to hit the front, that makes for an unpleasant hike!

I had my eye on these boots for some time, but sellers never have my size (7.5M) available. So when Backcountry had a pair, I had to snatch them up. I'm looking to replace my current Merrells that are showing signs of wear (treads balding) after 700+ miles. I use these mostly for long (10-20 miles) day hikes in the mountains in mild weather (New England in summer, Southern California in winter).
Unfortunately, I had to return these. They are great-looking boots, and the fit is spot-on, true to size with a roomy toe box & supportive footbed. But the claimed light weight spec of 709g per pair (12.5 oz per shoe) is just way off (I knocked one star off for this error). These are actually a lot heavier than the 13.5 oz each of my current boots, with a measured weight of over a pound each (18.25 oz per shoe, or 1035g per pair for size 7.5M). That excess weight , coupled with the very stiff ankle collars, would just slow me down and cause more fatigue for my intended use. I already have taller insulated hiking/snowshoeing boots for cold weather, and stiff-support boots for heavier backpacking, both pairs with a lot of miles left in them, so unfortunately I don't have a use for the Lowas. I also recently replaced my low hiking shoes (at 1000+ miles) with lighter-weight trail runners, and immediately noticed significant improvement in my pace, so I know weight really does make a big difference.

I purchased these for my girlfriend. She says they are the comfiest hiking boots she has ever had! Lots of support while still being burly but flexible. They are true to size. She is looking forward to doing some longer hikes and backpacking in them, and see what they are like in hot temperatures.

Lowa has the most comfortable stiff boot out there. The foot bed frame and support allows you to trek with a heavy pack for many miles without fatigue. Lowa uses the Monowrap Construction which cradles your foot and remains rigid. The addition of Gore-Tex allows the wearer to tromp through anything without pause. Waterproof and windproof allows the wearer to use these boots in all seasons, so winter camping is a breeze, with the right socks of course. Teaming up with vibram gives these boots the added traction that other boots may not have.
I usually wear a 6.5 in shoes. In backpacking boots i always recommend to purchase a half size above normal street shoes to allow for swelling and thicker socks.

I've been hesitant to purchase new hiking boots because I've always hated how heavy and clompy my boots have been in the past. But after talking with a couple of Backcountry employees, I decided to give the Renegades a chance--and I love them!

Feel: They're super lightweight and don't feel clompy at all. They're ready to wear right out of the box (I hiked 20 miles the first time I wore them and didn't have any problems). The fit is snug, comfortable , and true to size. A high ankle offers plenty of support for long days carrying heavy loads.

Performance: I wore these shoes on the Mist Trail during peak runoff and while my friend's feet got wet, mine stayed dry and comfortable thanks to the Gore-Tex liner. The Vibram sole also made a huge difference on the slick trail.

Bought these boots in the Stone color 9.5. The boots come in narrow sizes, which is perfect for me since I have a very narrow heel and supple arch. My heels always slip in boots, but the Renegade's secure fit locks down my heels well, and without having to lace them uncomfortably tight! The lacing provides a snug but comfortable fit. I wanted a boot that would be supportive and able to handle anything I could throw at it: I have used these boots for hiking, scrambling, fishing (loving the gortex), and horseback riding.

The full grain leather is very durable. I use them frequently to scramble up boulders and rocky trails and they don't show a scratch! I have put at least 50 miles on the boots so far, and aside from a healthy coating of dirt, they look new. The gortex works great; I've waded in water several times and not had a single drop come through.

The Vibram sole is super sticky on rock, which is great for securing footing when scrambling or hiking on slick rock. Even descending wet rock is easy in these boots! I am so confident in their traction that they were my boot of choice for tackling the famously exposed trail of Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. And they were perfect; I watched those in lesser shoes lose their footing frequently throughout the day. I have yet to find a surface these boots will slip on!

The boots are very comfortable, and just seem to get better with every mile!

I've used these boots on my backpacking trips during my summer in YNP. Whether it's traversing over mountain ranges or crossing through rivers & creeks , these boots really get the job done. I sized up half a size and the fit was perfect, had no need to break them i either.
