I just got a pair of this and they are awesome! I wear 10.5 and I ordered 10.5 and they fit perfectly! They don't seem to run smaller to me. This boots are worth every penny. Awesome boots Lowa!
I have been wearing Lowa Renegade daily for over thirty years. the points you raised are very relevant and I share your opinion on your findings. Your analysis is excellent. For the last five years I have noticed a rapid deterioration of the soles which was not the case before. Considering the price I would expect greater longevity.
I just purchased a new pair. I had my brown ones for about seven years. Just throw away the standard insoles and replace them. My favourites are from Spenco. Really improves the comfort!
Hmmm, if I remember correctly, their Zephyr tactical boots had the composite toe. Hiking boots don't usually have steel or composite, but check out work and especially tactical/combat stuff.
I also bought them this summer, found them comfortable but narrow and I have narrow feet (was surprised indeed), now for the price I prefer my Salomon Quest 4D GTX, quality wise. But don't get me wrong I love my Renegade but honestly I expected something much better...your review is dead on can't say much more. Good job with your analysis of the boot, you know your stuff!
I feel this boot has decreased in quality. There was a time when it wouldn't even be a question as to whether Lowa was a better quality boot than Salomon but it's not quite that way now. Unlined toe boxes, thin insoles and less durable soles are not great signs for what is still a premium boot.
Haven't had a chance to test out Baldo yet, but I will add them to my to-do list! From the looks of it, it does appear to be a good crossbreed between the tow!
Thanks for the review! I picked up mine today and I normally wear low rise hicking shoes. My thoughts so far are that they have a fantastic look, the fits is real good. The cushion is on the harder side which is fine. However, the high rise is a pain around my legs. I feel like I am wearing some hand cuffs but that could be that I need to wear them in or that I am not used to high rise boots. I am only on about 2000 steps in the house and hoping that my thoughts on the ankle feel changes. Any thoughts on the ankle feel for anyone else? (Also, they are a bit warm in the house maybe)
Salomon quest look like cheap boots. I tried them on at REI, you can clearly see that there 0 effort foe attention to detail. Glue is sticking out around the areas where they glued it, just looks cheaply made. And they want to charge the same like their competition. Lowa on other hand is a much better quality boot imo.
@@edsaban572I don't mean to sound rude but that's simply untrue. I just got a lowa renegade and love em! however Solomons quests are great boots too. Look online you'll see thousands of reviews on how durable they are and not just from outdoor gear review sites. (switchback, outdoor gear lab) but on subreddits like r/ultralight as well.
@@throwaway8760 You are not rude. Im just speaking based on what I saw when i looked at the details on the shoe. Looks like a sloppy job and they want $250 for it.
@@edsaban572 I have them and did not see any of the stuff you wrote on my boots, very good quality, comfortable but made narrow. Love them to death and better quality than my Lowa Renegade GTX, I guess you were not lucky when you pick your boots.
I have a pair of Lowa hiking boots, and last week while hiking in Norway the soles of both boots started to fall off within 15 minutes of each other. At the end the soles were only attached at the tip of the boot. No matter what the cause of the problem, the manufacturer is responsible and ought to replace a faulty product. If they use a material (polyurethane) that is inapropriate for the purpose of hiking once or twice a year, they should not use that material. Period. Do yourself a favour and find a boot producer that does not use PU in their soles.
True, I had the same problem and contacted Lowa. They countered the problem by saying that these soles are "only made for soft terrain, so try to avoid hard surfaces". Not really realistic I think...
One of the best boots I have used to climb, I used my renegades to climb Pico de Orizaba 5.686 mts and worked very well!
I’ve watched a few of your reviews now and gotta say you make some of the best review videos if not the best! Keep it up man great work!

Sorry is it for working shoe?
I just purchased a new pair. I had my brown ones for about seven years.
Just throw away the standard insoles and replace them.
My favourites are from Spenco.
Really improves the comfort!
I had to go a half a size smaller when trying them on. But they're extremely comfortable
Very good review. Love these boots every day. Keep up the good work.
Great analysis 👍 Appreciate the info.
is this the renegade 2?as on the Lowa website they only talk about 2
I think go for the ranger boots
Which Lowa has a steel or composite toe cap please. I need a pair for security work, so alot of walking involved.
Hmmm, if I remember correctly, their Zephyr tactical boots had the composite toe. Hiking boots don't usually have steel or composite, but check out work and especially tactical/combat stuff.
Are they better than lowa zephyr?
they are different

What are your thoughts on the Lowa Baldo GTX. It kinda makes up the difference between the Renegade and Camino
Haven't had a chance to test out Baldo yet, but I will add them to my to-do list! From the looks of it, it does appear to be a good crossbreed between the tow!
@@UltimateSurvivalGear yeah I don’t think they are very popular given the colors but it has the Lowa tongue stud and ball bearing lacing
Good and thorough review. It does seem like you tried hard not to say it was junk. I like the way Lowa's look.
Hi, can you tell me what temperature range they use
vibram soles are useless on slippery surfaces. these soles also fall apart if you store them and dont use them.
They look very good
Review the DUNHAM 8000 WORX 6IN PLAIN TOE BOOT

Lowa zephyr mk2 or renegate ? For police work ?
Out of two, I would definitely go with Zephyr MK2.
Is it wide?
Is this a 6 in boot?
dimana saya untuk mendapatkannya?
what would you say. lowa renegade vs salomon quest 4? which is better?
I would like to see this comparison also

Do you spam every video about these shoes ?
Midsole falls apart in under 2 years despite light use. Made in Slovakia, Germany, doesn't matter, they're a bad purchase. Shame.
True, I had the same problem and contacted Lowa. They countered the problem by saying that these soles are "only made for soft terrain, so try to avoid hard surfaces". Not really realistic I think...
@@den_bosmens_outdoor Very dismissive! The midsole rots out just sitting on the shelf. Shelf too hard?
Ah, rotting out is a different story. That process is called hydrolisis. It is a bacteria in the PU of the midsole that causes it to deteriorate.
Mine did too. These shoes suck
Agree. Mine did the exact same thing
Hi, can you tell me what temperature range they use
