Love the lowa renegade lo - Lowa Renegade GTX Lo Hiking Shoes - Men's

I hike almost every day, probably 350 days a year. Mostly steep, technical, rocky, dry, warm AZ hiking, though I occasionally hike in snow, rain, and colder temps, other terrain. I go through a lot of shoes. I have shoes that are lighter, breath better, but none that are more durable, provide better support, are better made, and are produced with better quality materials. The Vibrams are grippy, the midsoles are not spongy, are built to last. Great fit out of the box. The uppers are made of beautiful leather. There are a good looking shoe too if you want to wear them socially. They work well, last well, and I love the classic styling. I have several pairs of Lowas in the line up and the Renegades are my favorites, both my Renegade mids and the lows.
