Reviews & Ratings for Lowa Renegade II GTX Lo Hiking Shoe - Men's — 3 reviews — Page 1

Like the title reads; this is my second pair. After three or four years of primarily using these as a totally (Totally!) bombproof cycle-cross shoe; and with a good bit of conventional wear mixed in there (They are leather = clean them up; brush on some mink-oil; and ta-da! Instant leather class to wear to a business meeting/family gathering/etc.) and hiking; they finally began to show their age.

I already had three pairs of Lowa Renegade shoes and boots. And there were two other pairs of Renegade boots before these that took me to some incredible trails and places. They are mid-weight boots with support, traction and water proofing that inspire confidence out on the trail. Never do I pause to think if my boots/shoes are sufficient. The low version retains all of the attributes of the boot designed for a faster pace out on the trails or a day in the office. Grab a pair and 'Oh the places you will go'.

good.
