I have worn the Lowa Renegade GTX for three years. The best boot I have ever worn. The only problem was the toe stiching which came undone. Lowa replaced the boot with no problem however it happened again with the second pair. Lowa suggested that I exchange for the Banff, a boot without seams on the toe and a more heavy duty boot. The Banff runs larger so I went from a 11.5 to a 12. The Banff is well made but somewhat stiffer at first. This boot is tighter around the toe and top of the foot. I wear a 12 in a walking shoe. Has anyone experienced this and did it loosen with wear? This boot is not available in a 12.5 only 13. I think the 13 would be too large. It is not too late to return the boot. I do miss the Renegade.
