I honestly recommend it. I wondered for a long time whether to invest in better shoes and it was definitely worth it. Comfort, lightness on the foot and quality. They have already been through a lot with me and they still don't show any signs of 'weariness.'
Lowa Renegade GTX MID Boots - Jet Black
Trekking boots engineered to be waterproof thanks to a Gore-Tex membrane. Designed with a lightweight yet robust build, they offer an extended upper crafted from abrasion-resistant Heinen Terracare nubuck leather, further enhanced by a water-repellent coating.
Gore-Tex membrane, ATC insert, raised and stiffened upper, high-cut tongue
Outfitted with an advanced Gore-Tex membrane, these boots deliver reliable protection against moisture while offering exceptional breathability and wind resistance. The inclusion of an ATC insole effectively channels moisture away from the foot, optimizing comfort during high-intensity use. A raised and reinforced upper provides enhanced ankle stabilization and safeguards against potential injuries. The extended tongue design helps block water and debris from entering the footwear.
Vibram Evo outer sole, Double Injection DuraPU midsole, Support Frame reinforcement
The Renegade GTX MID is equipped with a Vibram Evo outsole, featuring a contoured tread, ensuring optimal cushioning and outstanding traction across diverse terrains. A Double Injection DuraPU midsole utilizes Monowrap technology, fusing the sole with internal PU foam for enhanced stability, superior thermal insulation, and advanced foot protection. Between the sole and the upper, a Support Frame stiffening mesh adds further foot protection during hiking.
Dual-zone lacing system
Equipped with a dual-zone lacing system for customized adjustment, the boots also utilize metal grommets to secure the laces firmly in place.

Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
Monowrap is a three-dimensional shoe sole construction technology developed by Lowa. The combination of an injection-molded polyurethane rubber frame along with an outsole and cushioning foam provides better stability and protection for the foot. The sole form absorbs shock and supports the natural movement of the foot when walking.
Meindl Multigriff By Vibram is a lightweight B-type outsole developed in collaboration between Meindl and Vibram. The tread design with self-cleaning properties along with the anatomically shaped cross-section provides greater stability and high grip on various surfaces. An integrated absorber made of EVA foam is responsible for shock absorption.
ATC is a type of molded insoles with a composite construction that allows efficient moisture wicking. A layer of felt insulates the foot from gait, providing thermal comfort, and polyethylene filling provides cushioning to protect against injury.
Double Injection DuraPU is the technology that defines the construction method of the midsole, which uses direct injection of polyurethane in the form of resilient foam to significantly improve the robustness of the profile. DuraPU's cushioning zones enhance the shoe's durability and performance, providing stability and absorbing shock from walking.
Support Frame is a structure placed between the sole and upper of the shoe that further strengthens and stabilizes the foot while walking, especially on uneven terrain. It is made of polyurethane, which provides durable and lightweight support for the foot.

These shoes impress with their quality of workmanship and the material used. After covering 285 km in the field, they are still in very good condition, which proves their durability. A big advantage for me is that this shoe has completely convinced me, even though I have a wide foot and usually have difficulty choosing the right footwear.
-
Great shoes. Comfortable, indestructible, equipment you can trust. Despite their solidity, they fit incredibly comfortably on the feet and dissipate excess heat well.
-
Over 2 years in use and they're still serving well. I've walked hundreds of kilometers in them, spent hours on my feet, crossed swamps, wetlands, and streams, dried them by the fire, and they're still reliable and comfortable. I highly recommend them to everyone.
-
I bought the shoes for my brother because we were going to hike in the Tatra Mountains. My brother is very satisfied, the shoes are comfortable, passed the test, his feet didn't hurt. I have a similar model, just the women's version, and I'm also very satisfied—these are the best shoes I've had, especially for mountain hikes.
-
The shoes are really amazing, MON shoes don't even come close. On the first day after putting them on, I walked 20 km and it felt like walking on clouds. Really excellent shoes.
-
They are light and very comfortable. I tested them in hilly terrain and I am delighted. The choice turned out to be right. The material is solid, and the shoes will definitely serve for years.
-
Very comfortable and warm winter shoes, but there is one issue I have to point out, which is the insole—only a few days after buying the shoes, it started to "peel off." I don't know if it was put in wrong or maybe my heels are just inhuman ( ⁰͟͟͟ʖ͟͟͟⁰ )ง.
-
The shoes fit well, don't pinch, don't squeeze, and are super comfortable. Not tested in extreme conditions yet, but they've already covered several good kilometers in various terrains. I waterproof them with Nikwax, which has darkened them slightly, but they look even better for it. At the moment, there are only minor signs of wear, so we'll see how they fare in the future, especially concerning waterproofness. Fast delivery. Thank you and best regards.

I bought the shoes in 2015. I’ve been with them on a glacier, desert, the Alps, and every type of mountain in Poland. For several years, they were used daily in all seasons. After 9 years, the sole has worn down to the upper—I plan to replace it and see how much longer they last. The best shoes I've had so far in my life. Waterproof, light, good breathability. Recently bought Lowa Tibet, based solely on the quality of Renegade. If the manufacturer maintains the quality of their products, every next pair of shoes will also be Lowa.

Shoes ideal for active people. Made from durable materials and equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane, they provide excellent protection against moisture and ensure breathability. Their black finish gives them a modern and stylish look that perfectly matches different outfits. The comfortable construction and foot support make them ideal for long hikes and difficult terrain. The Lowa Zephyr GTX HI MK2 - Black shoes are not just footwear, but also a reliable companion for outdoor activity enthusiasts.
-
I regret the purchase. I don't feel any lightness on my feet, and the comfort is comparable to well-broken-in MON boots. Because of the matte finish, the shoes quickly look as if they are several years old, even though I've only worn them for four months and clean and maintain them with specialist products. The original insoles were a bit too short, which caused discomfort under my toes, and the only plus I've noticed over these few months of use is that they really are waterproof and quite durable. In my opinion, they're not worth the price.
-
I ordered these for spring and autumn, but decided to try them out in winter. In the cold, even with merino wool socks, they're not comfortable, but at 0°C everything is fine. The only thing that bothers me is that they are slippery on ice. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase: the quick lacing system, the comfort, and how light the shoes are. It feels like wearing slippers at home. Many thanks to the store for the free delivery.
-
Nice and warm boots. They are a bit short compared to regular military boots, good for mud that can occur, but they are warm. Importantly, for my regular size 44, I took size 45, but I should have chosen a bit bigger, even though I measured the insole—it fits only a thin sock. With winter socks, it’s a bit uncomfortable...
-
Incredibly light, comfortable, and well-made trekking boots. Waterproofness has been tested in the field. These are shoes for people who value the quality of military footwear as well as a more tourist (universal) look. It's quite hard to get the right Lowa size, but there are many places online where users suggest which size to choose. I have a rather wide 28 cm foot, and size 44.5 fits well. Despite the high price, I recommend the Renegade boots.
