The Lowa Renegade II GTX Mid is a mid-height all terrain and all weather boot sheathed in lovely water-repellent nubuck leather with Cordura around the ankle. Part of Lowa's All Terrain Collection, these boots are great for backpacking with moderate loads as well as day hiking through varied terrain and weather. The Renegade II GTX Mid's provide outstanding climate & moisture control with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex lining. The insole also keeps the foot dry by using the natural pump action of walking to force water vapor out of the shoe. A beefy Vibram sole designed exclusively for Lowa will keep you as sure footed as a mountain goat on rough terrain. These boots wear comfortably for the long haul thanks to an injected PU mid-sole, with the stability & support of a ¾ shank all the while. THIS BOOT RUNS LARGE.
