LOWA Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots Men's, Espresso, EU 46.5

For hikers tackling day-long trails and light backpacking trips, the LOWA Renegade GTX Mid delivers waterproof comfort and stable footing on varied terrain. Its nubuck leather upper and GORE-TEX® lining keep feet dry through puddles and showers, while the Vibram® Evo Trac® outsole grips confidently on rocky and muddy paths.

Why choose it

The Renegade GTX Mid is a proven all-rounder for hikers who want one boot for most conditions. The GORE-TEX® membrane stops water while letting sweat escape, so feet stay dry inside and out. The Vibram® outsole provides reliable traction on wet rock and loose soil, and the DuraPU® midsole cushions every step without feeling overly soft. The Monowrap® frame wraps the foot for stability on uneven ground, reducing fatigue over long miles. Because the boot is resoleable, it can serve for many seasons with proper care.

Ideal use cases

• Day hiking on maintained trails
• Light backpacking with loads up to 10–12 kg
• Three-season hiking in wet or changeable weather
• Travel and walking tours on mixed surfaces

Good to know

LOWA recommends breaking in these boots on shorter walks before extended trips. Pair them with moisture-wicking socks for best performance. The ATC Climate Control footbed manages temperature and moisture inside the boot, and the mid-cut height gives extra ankle support compared to low-cut shoes. For sizing, this EU 46.5 corresponds to US men's 12.5 and UK 11.5.
