The year of 1997: It was a time when the blockbuster film “Titanic” was showing in cinemas, Tony Blair was celebrating his election victory in the United Kingdom and the German football team Schalke 04 was revelling in its UEFA Cup championship. It was also a time of transformation at LOWA. Werner Riethmann and his development team were busy thinking about a new way to produce hiking boots and make them lighter in the process. The foundation for a new way to produce hiking boots was laid by the leisure-time and running area. For the first time in the company’s history, LOWA produced a shoe that was directly injected and not cemented – the RENEGADE was born.
Your Connection To The Earth The RENEGADE GTX LO comes equipped with a Vibram sole. The Italian sole manufacturer has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years. The multifunctional profile design and the proven rubber compound of the self-cleaning sole VIBRAM EVO TRAC deliver optimal performance. The special design of the sole’s tip and heel provide a high degree of comfort during ascents and descents. Guaranteed Weather Protection Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The RENEGADE GTX LO is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability. Hiking Adventure The sun is beaming down, a cool breeze is stirring, and you are stuck in the office, at home or somewhere in the city most of the time – the daily grind has you firmly under its control. It’s about time for a jaunt in nature! A little adventure awaits you. Your workout in the fresh air will be balsam for your body and mind, no matter whether you set off on a one-day hike or a multiple-day tour. It will reawaken the curiosity of your childhood and will be a tremendous opportunity to create an unforgettable experience with your family and friends. As part of #ForTheNextStep, we plan to explore and share the motivation behind and the joy of the phenomenon known as hiking with you. Upper and Sole Become a Fixed Unit To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of the RENEGADE GTX LO is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together. 25 Years Renegade LOWA launched the RENEGADE model in 1997. The company has sold more than 12 million pairs in the years since, a figure that makes it the best-selling outdoor shoe in Europe. For 25 years now, the cult shoe has provided outdoor lovers with unique experiences in the mountains. This is more than a good reason to celebrate its birthday! Comfortably Framed With the LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame, the midsole of the RENEGADE GTX LO provides the very best comfort. This three-dimensional midsole design was developed by LOWA in 1995. The frame comfortably cradles the foot and support it when the shoe wearer ventures across uneven surfaces. The sole design is slightly raised for shoes with a SUPPORT FRAME. Pilgrim And Long-Distance Hiking Lacing up your hiking boots in the knowledge that you don’t have to do anything for the next few days other than put one foot in front of the other. That’s a truly special feeling. More and more people are heading out on multi-day hiking adventures in the summer months. Whether it’s a summit hike in the mountains, a trip along a long-distance trail or multi-week pilgrim hike – indescribable adventure awaits you! Adapted To The Anatomy Of Women's Feet To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for RENEGADE GTX MID Ws have been specially designed with the anatomy of women’s feet in mind. The last plays a key role in the ultimate fit of a boot. Women’s feet have less volume than men’s feet. As a result, the instep height and the ball area of these lasts have been altered.
