Lowa Renegade GTX Mid - Dark Brown/Black - 43 1/2 (UK 9)

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.

• Gore-Tex: Footwear equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane is reliably waterproof, windproof and breathable.
• Vibram: Vibram has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years.
• Double Injection: To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of 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.
• Support Frame: With the Lowa-Monowrap frame, the midsole provides the very best comfort. This three-dimensional midsole design was developed by Lowa in 1995. The frame comfortably cradles the foot and supports it when the shoe wearer ventures across an uneven surface. The sole design is slightly raised for shoes with a Support Frame.
• Moderately Stiff: Footwear labelled “moderately stiff” provides a good symbiosis between optimal support for the foot’s musculature and pleasant rolling properties.
• 2 Zone Lacing: Thanks to the two zone lacing system, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the footwear can be individually adjusted to the foot’s anatomy.
