Hiking boots Lowa Renegade GTX Mid — men's, Espresso, GORE‑TEX, VIBRAM outsole, Support Frame midsole, size 11

The LOWA RENEGADE GTX MID in Espresso is a multifunctional hiking boot with a timeless design that has become a standard choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Designed for everyday hiking and extended walks, it combines a high-quality leather upper with modern sole technology and a GORE-TEX membrane to provide weather protection and long-lasting comfort. This mid-cut model offers supportive fit geometry suited to medium-width feet and is built to serve a wide range of outdoor uses.

Advantages

The boot provides reliable waterproofing, wind protection and breathability thanks to the GORE-TEX lining, while the leather upper ensures durability and resistance to wear. The combination of a supportive midsole system and a VIBRAM outsole delivers stable traction and good foot control on varied terrain. Its construction balances lightweight flexibility with robust craftsmanship to suit frequent use in hiking and outdoor activities.

Suitable for

• Day hikes and multi-day trekking on mixed trails
• Walking and travel in wet or changeable weather
• Outdoor enthusiasts seeking durable, supportive footwear

When it may not be suitable

Because the boot is designed as a durable mid-cut hiking shoe with a leather upper and supportive midsole, it may feel heavier than minimalist trail runners and is not intended for high-speed trail running. It may also be less suitable for users who require a very wide fit, as the last is optimised for medium-width feet.

Key specifications

• Upper material: high-quality leather
• Lining: GORE-TEX waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane
• Outsole: VIBRAM sole for reliable grip
• Midsole: Support frame with double injection construction for stability and cushioning
• Cut: Mid-height (mid-cut) providing ankle support
• Intended fit: designed for medium-width feet

How to use

Wear the LOWA RENEGADE GTX MID for hiking, trekking and general outdoor use where durable protection and ankle support are needed. Lace the boot securely to achieve a snug fit across the forefoot and around the ankle, and adjust tension on steep ascents or descents for stability. Regularly clean and condition the leather upper and follow GORE-TEX care recommendations to maintain waterproofing and breathability.

What to consider before purchase

• Choose the correct size and consider trying on with the socks you plan to use for hiking.
• Consider that the boot is optimised for medium-width feet; if you have particularly wide feet, try a wider last if available.
• Think about intended use (day hikes vs. fastpacking); the mid-cut leather boot is better suited to load-bearing and protection than maximal speed.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, pair the boots with breathable hiking socks, break them in on shorter walks before multi-day treks, and maintain the leather with appropriate cleaning and conditioning products while following GORE-TEX care instructions.
