Introducing the Renegade range

The Renegade by Lowa is available in several variants suited for various outdoor activities. It is particularly appreciated for its performance across all types of terrains. Each model is crafted with high-quality materials to guarantee durability and good support.

Renegade GTX Mid

The flagship model, designed with a Gore-Tex membrane. Ideal for both mountains and plains, renowned for its stability and comfort due to its balanced shock absorption.

The GTX Mid Ws

The women's version of the GTX Mid. The instep height and plantar pad circumference are adapted to the female anatomy.

Renegade GTX Lo

This is the low-cut version of the GTX Mid. It features a grippy sole and a robust upper with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane as well.

Renegade LL Mid

It stands out with its leather lining offering optimal comfort and a breathable environment. In the women's version, it is called LL Mid Ws.

Renegade LL Lo

The LL Mid also comes in a low-cut version.

Warm GTX Mid and Warm GTX Mid Ws models

For winter conditions, Lowa has created the Renegade Warm GTX Mid and the Renegade Warm GTX Mid Ws offering effective grip on snow and icy surfaces with their Vibram Evo Icetrek outsoles. They also feature a warm lining.

Detailed description of the GTX Mid Model

The Renegade GTX Mid features waterproof-breathable Gore-Tex membrane, ensuring optimal weather protection, even under heavy rain or snowfall. Its Vibram sole provides effective traction, making it ideal for easy to medium level hikes. It is known for its reliability and comfort on medium and long distances.

Although its design appears classic, this hiking boot is very versatile. Its Nubuck upper adds a touch of elegance and greatly contributes to its ruggedness.

Its innovative construction system increases stability, making the Renegade GTX Mid perfect for hikes on varied trails.

Technical features of the GTX Mid

The Renegade GTX Mid stands out with various technical features to satisfy the most demanding hikers:

Weight: at 553 g per shoe in size 7.5, it remains light despite its robustness.
Waterproofness: thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane, this boot guarantees very good waterproofness while being breathable.
Comfort: exceptional, on short, medium, or long hikes.
Traction: the Vibram outsole is known for its grip on soft and rocky ground, as well as its traction on smooth and potentially slippery surfaces. Thanks to the height of its lugs, it easily sheds mud.
Cushioning: provided by the midsole, with the Lowa Monowrap structure enveloping and supporting the foot, and by the outsole block which is moulded to the upper by injection.
Durability: excellent, thanks to the quality of materials, assembly quality, and particularly careful finishing.
Fit: the fit is rather wide, and provides good foot support.
Nubuck: The full-grain leather upper offers excellent abrasion resistance, while contributing to breathability.
Lacing: allows different adjustments between the front of the foot and the upper, to promote comfort during climbs and descents.

All these elements make the Lowa Renegade GTX Mid a reliable choice for hiking enthusiasts.

Comparing mid and low-Cut models

Both the GTX Mid and GTX LO feature a Gore-Tex membrane, providing optimal waterproofness and breathability. They are also equipped with Vibram soles for perfect grip and traction on all types of terrains.

The distinguishing feature between these two models is their cuff height. With its mid-height cuff, the GTX Mid offers ankle support, ideal for hikes on varied terrains and long distances. On the other hand, the Renegade GTX LO is a low-cut hiking shoe, which has the advantage of being lighter, better suited for leisure walks or easy treks. It is highly appreciated by those looking to save weight and who do not mind sacrificing ankle support.

Women's version of the Lowa Renegade

The Lowa Renegade is available in a women's version, offering female hikers a choice of high-performance and comfortable shoes and boots, tailored to their specific needs. While the women's models, such as the GTX Mid Ws or GTX LO Ws, have similar characteristics to the men's versions, they are specifically designed to fit the anatomy of women's feet.

Comparison with men's models

Between the men's and women's models, the colours are obviously not the same, but beyond this visible difference, there is another, more subtle that distinguishes them, and that is in terms of shape. All Renegade women's models have a profile adapted to the female foot morphology. The instep height and plantar pad circumference are adjusted to match the female anatomy.

Another notable difference is the weight, which varies slightly. For example, the men's model of the Renegade GTX Mid weighs about 553 g, while the women's version weighs only 438 g. This difference is mainly due to the generally smaller size of women's shoes.

Regardless, in terms of comfort, grip, and reliability, the men's and women's models are equally effective.

All about the soles of Renegade models

The sole of the Lowa Renegade plays a crucial role in the comfort and performance of these hiking boots. Their Vibram Evo sole is known for its effective grip on various types of terrains, from easy to medium difficulty, and for its durability. It consists of an optimal rubber compound developed for hiking on the most diverse terrains and featuring prominent non-slip lugs, whose height allows for efficient mud evacuation.

Lowa Renegade and Gore-Tex

Gore-Tex technology is a key factor in the success of the Renegade GTX Mid and GTX LO, providing these models with waterproof protection against external moisture (water, rain, dew, snow...) while wicking away moisture (sweat).

A Gore-Tex membrane, which is known as waterproof-breathable, doesn’t make hiking shoes or boots any heavier. It’s praised for its light weight and versatility. This aspect is particularly appreciated by hikers, who can enjoy all types of terrains, regardless of weather conditions, without worrying about wet feet.

Advantages of Gore-Tex hiking boots

Gore-Tex hiking boots offer multiple advantages:

Waterproofness: Gore-Tex technology keeps feet dry in rain, snow, and when crossing wet areas (puddles, streams, dew...).
Breathability: Gore-Tex facilitates the evacuation of sweat, preventing moisture from remaining inside the shoes, which could cause discomfort and contribute to the formation of bad smells.
Thermal Comfort: By allowing excess heat to escape, Gore-Tex helps maintain a comfortable temperature inside the shoes.
Lightweight: Despite its performance, Gore-Tex does not add weight to the shoes, an advantage for hikers for whom every gram counts.
Durability: A Gore-Tex membrane is resilient, contributing to the longevity of the shoes.

Why choose Lowa Renegade hiking boots?

Where are Lowa Renegade boots manufactured?

Lowa shoes and boots are manufactured in Europe at various production sites. In Germany, at Jetzendorf, the historic headquarters of the company since 1923, as well as in Slovakia, Italy, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Only the ATR trail-running shoe range is made in Vietnam. This is due to the need for specific materials and technologies not currently available in Europe.
