LOWA Boots Men's Renegade Mid GTX Hiking Boot

Great Construction
These boots are obviously really well made, and they are quite comfortable. I haven't had the chance to take them on a long haul yet, but I can tell by the fit that they will go the distance. They feel great through the arch and in the toe box, and they give great ankle support.

Well Made
I wear a 9.5 in Merrells, 10 in Nike, and 9 in dress shoes (Ferragamo & E. Zegna). That said, I ordered a 9.5 for these Lowa boots and they're a little small with just cotton socks. I am returning these for a size 10, the size that I wear for Nike sneakers. Overall though, these boots seem really well made...I'm so impressed that I will exchange them for the size 10 and see how it goes. Oh, I also have narrow feet and the Regular width for these feel about right. If you do not have narrow feet, I'd consider the Wide width as suggested by others.

Lowa Renegade Mid GTX
I've had about 3 pairs of Lowa and they've all been fantastic. Comfort right out of the box is known to be great with Lowa. If their last fits your foot you're almost guaranteed a great boot. And they come in Narrow also with some of their styles. The Renegade Mid GTX is a much lighter boot than I've had with Lowa in the past, but I'll be in Africa for quite a while in the desert and wanted a lighter trekking boot. We'll see how well it breathes since it's GTX. Very light and flexible boot with good support. If you are doing some very rocky climbing/hiking these will be too flexible. But for general hiking they're been great so far.
