Guides Review Of Hunting Boots - Lowa Renegade

[@j.h.9885]

Not sure what you usually wear for hiking boots but these boots are broken in right out of the box! I’ve been wearing these things for years and I have some boots that take a year to break in, these things are like socks! I love them🤙

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching! Glad you like them!

[@Alex-sm3bs]

This this what I heard also

[@pvpsound]

Went on my first hike and camping trip with these. Also use them for long walks a few times a week, absolutely phenomenal boots

[@kevinohalloran4656]

I wear these these boots all the time ...Mars bar kit (work,rest and play)...i buy them every 5 years as the soles are gone. But thats because i never have them of my feet. Best bit of kit ive bought.

[@angeloiacomini5218]

My wife works for a shoe company. She said to look at your socks. Be sure to use a moisture wicking sock doesn't have a lot of cotton. This will help with sweating and in turn help with blisters.

[@EtienneDeligenza]

I had a pair of renegades for 11 years.

[@bobmarley6161]

Fantastic boots... I just use wax on them yes it changed the texture but to me they look and feel a million times better....

[@robertmatch6550]

Kind of a wordy review. I have been wearing my Renegades on local trails and for street field and trail dog-walking. They come waterproofed and I have not applied anything since. The main things to say about 'em. A) They are basically broken- in out of the box. You can put them on tight or loose by how much you tighten over your ankles above the locking lugs . So I disagree with this part of your review. B) These are not resoleable. But so far they are durable, waterproof, light for their protective ability, and well made. C) They are roomy over toes and ball of foot and available in wide sizes.

[@stevenroche9874]

Does the LOWA Waterstop Pro spray actually work well and last a long time ?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

It does work well. It needs reapplied in the case of heavy exposure to water but works quite well.

[@awilderireland]

I've had two pairs. Nice boot but the vibram sole wears pretty quickly. But I was using mine as an everyday boot walking on concrete etc. If just used for hiking or whatever they would last much longer.

[@nortonbest7108]

Hi, can you tell me what temperature range they use

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They are not insulated.

[@Collin2377]

Is there any difference between RENEGADE GTX and RENEGADE GTX MID ? Thank you.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Not aware of any differences.

[@labellaescrima1996]

same boot

[@Manchu1976]

Any update on how the boots have worked out for ya? I am in the market for some new boots and kinda value your opinion. Thanks

[@StandingStoneKennels]

It would be a no go from me. Some people love them, but they weren’t for me.

[@Jarequis2]

Any update on the boots?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

No go for me. Lots of people have purchased and said they really liked them.

[@Jarequis2]

@StandingStoneKennels was it a wear thing or what happened? You seemed to like them at least at first?

[@RAMtrails]

how long before you started treating your boots?

[@StandingStoneKennels]

30 days

[@michaelduval9243]

How are the boots holding up? Trying to decide between these and the R-8S GTX Patrol since they don't have a bunch of seems on the front. Great video!

[@pennsylvaniaboy87]

So in your unboxing video you mentioned that you used to wear Keens. I am an avid Keen fan, but as you mentioned I burn them down fast. How does the fit of the Lowa's compare to Keen?

[@noahdavis4011]

Can you be just a little more specific on break in time? A bit, and your trip to Montana doesn't really mean anything...thanks

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching! Please rephrase your question!

[@tylersmith9991]

Do they have a vibram sole?

[@tylersmith9991]

The video answered my question lol. I typed that question mid video.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Hahah yessir!!

[@benfeatherstone12]

first!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Love it!!!

[@goldennewf7098]

You are the first person I have ever heard say that they had to break in Lowa Renegades. They are so soft, I have always been concerned they wouldn’t last

[@darrengough4400]

Nice video 👍 I have the same boots and I too found it took a while to break them in. Just a note, you mentioned that the leather looked a bit dry, the spray you used will certainly aid waterproofing but it will not nourish the leather which will crack over time if not moisturised. I believe Lowa, and other brands have a cream product for this 👍

[@stevenroche9874]

Yes, Lowa Active Creme will condition the leather for long life.

[@Oculus729]

You are the only person I have ever heard say that the Renegades are not out of the box comfortable.

[@Zuko_1224]

I bought mine 3 years Ago and still use them. I love them, still Waterproof, and the sole is Durable as new (With regular maintenance) I took me a couple of weeks of use to break them in, but I never hand any issues with them. In comparison to Salomon, the Lowas have a much better form for my feet.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching.

[@johngjacobi]

Best boots I have ever owned. Entering year 4 and time to start taking care of them.

[@jakerayer-ot2yj]

Nice review. Just got a pair and am excited to use them. Theyre gonna get broken in on interior Alaska spring bear and get put to the test this fall on Kodiak for mountain goat.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Good luck!

[@stevenroche9874]

Any footwear with a waterproof membrane is absolutely waterproof as long as the membrane is not damaged. It is not a chemical coating on the leather that provides the waterproofing.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching.

[@111wash]

Someone please comment. I heard a reviewer say they were slippery especially on snow and ice. Thoughts?

[@bsuarez3455]

Oh yeah they for sure skate at first. I’ve found that after some roughing up on concrete you’ll get a better grip but for sure you have to be careful on ice as with another pair of boots. Snow these things are 💪🏾 as long as you have it sealed off with no snow getting in you’ll be set

[@andremeinke6836]

Which colour is this boot?

[@labellaescrima1996]

I am so surprised about you saying they were hard to break in, I bought them put them on and never looked back. My Danner and Asolo were very hard to break in and it took forever for them to be malleable, I finally got rid of my Danner and Asolo they just did not want to soften I got fed up. But Lowa Renegade, man as soon as you take them out of the box they are good to go, maybe you have sensitive feet or may I say delicate!

[@VogeljagerGunDogs]

His socks crack me up 🤣🤣

[@dannydowdall3827]

I thought they were already water proof gortex?

[@constantfish4526]

Yep, the membrane on the inside is water proof. However, the outside material may absorb some water, making the boots wet and heavier

[@XWA2203]

I have those boots. After four years using them only in winter so approximately 3 months yearly I must say those boots are crap. The black rubber on the soles had a hole after the first year already, this year the leather broke just on the place where the sole is attached. It seems it was a manufacturing error there, as the leather looks like it was cut by the sole attaching machine. Vibram soles are crap. The whole boots too. Never again Lowa.

[@labellaescrima1996]

you do have to take care of your boots every season, Renegade are good boots, not sure how you take care of you boots?
