The Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Wide is one of the most popular all-terrain boots in the world, frequently used for hunting due to its zero break-in period and stable foundation. The "Wide" version utilises an expanded toe box and more volume at the metatarsals to accommodate broader foot shapes.
Key Technical Features
-
GORE-TEX Lining: Provides a highly breathable and 100% waterproof barrier, allowing sweat to escape while preventing water from entering during creek crossings or wet grass walks.
-
Vibram Evo Outsole: Features a tread pattern designed for multi-directional traction, providing a secure grip on both loose scree and slippery river stones.
-
MONOWRAP Frame: This signature LOWA technology uses a three-dimensional frame to provide lateral stability on uneven ground without adding the heavy weight of a traditional steel shank.
-
Nubuck Leather Upper: A durable, high-quality leather that is open-pored for breathability but remains rugged enough for dense scrub and rocky terrain.
-
Double Injection Midsole: Uses a layering process of DuraPU foam to offer high shock absorption and cushioning, which helps reduce foot fatigue during long days of glassing or tracking.
