"European-manufactured start to finish, LOWA hiking boots are perfect for weekend adventurers who want functional footwear with out-of-the-box comfort. Lighter weight than traditional hiking boots - geared to day hiking or exercise walking. They excel for on-trail use, hiking with light day or hydration packs, scrambling, or everyday outdoor use. Derby cut lacing to comfortably fit a wider range of feet, plus a bi-injection midsole for greater comfort and stability. Sturdy, all-purpose, all-terrain, all-weather boot. Uppers in water-repellent Nubuk leather with Cordura ankle band GORE-TEX lining for ultimate climate comfort and waterproof protection Vibram 'Vialta' outsole for improved grip and shock absorption"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Lowa Renegade II GTX MID is a mid-height all terrain and all weather boot sheathed in lovely water-repellent nubuck leather with Cordura around the ankle. Part of Lowa's All Terrain Collection, these boots are great for backpacking with moderate loads as well as day hiking through varied terrain and weather. The Renegade II GTX Mid's provide outstanding climate & moisture control with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex lining. The insole also keeps the foot dry by using the natural pump action of walking to force water vapor out of the shoe. A beefy Vibram sole designed exclusively for Lowa will keep you as sure footed as a mountain goat on rough terrain. These boots wear comfortably for the long haul thanks to an injected PU mid-sole, with the stability & support of a shank all the while. THIS BOOT RUNS LARGE. SELECT A 1/2 TO A FULL SIZE BELOW YOUR NORMAL SHOE SIZE."

There was no breaking-in (no blisters.) I put them on, off I went... And I'm still going." - Sports Etc."The low-key looks belie the complex layers of material underfoot, (which deliver stability and cushioning.) If you're looking for a burly, hiking-oriented, go-anywhere shoe, this could be it." - National Geographic Adventure"

From REI:
"Waterproof, breathable and supportive, these low-profile, lightweight hikers tackle any terrain and any weather! Water-repellent nubuck leather uppers feature Cordura® nylon ankle bands for comfort and enhanced breathability. Gore-Tex® liners keep out the wet stuff while still allowing your feet to breathe; nylon linings help manage moisture inside. Derby-cut uppers wrap ankles and instep securely and offer extended lacing options. Contoured bi-injected polyurethane midsoles help stabilize heels, add support to the forefoot and offer all-day cushioning and shock absorption. Nylon shanks provide extra torsional rigidity for better stability on uneven surfaces while allowing comfortable flexibility. Aggressive Vibram® Vialta rubber outsoles deliver excellent traction on all types of terrain."

"Perfect fit. Softer sole absorbs shock real well. Good ankle support. Lightweight. My last pair of Lowa's lasted for years. Wear them everywhere. They do very well with a 40 lb pack also! And they're made in eastern Europe, not in China."

"These are the most comfortable boots I have ever used for hiking and backpacking and I absolutely was thrilled to have found the perfect boot. That said, I have used them for 10 days of light backpacking and the soles are tearing off the boot at the glue seams."

"When I give this shoe five stars, believe me they are well deserved. Having tried a total of 12-14 different pairs at three different stores I was not going to stop until I found the perfect fit for the perfect price; one can only imagine how picky I must have come across."

"A great, sturdy tennis shoe is what I call this hiking boot. The soft, pliable sole renders this useless as a hiking boot. They do have good ankle support but the sole is not stiff enough. They broke in way too quickly and after a few months look like I have had them for years without much hiking having been done in them."

"I own both the Task Force Edition and the normal edition of this boot. The TF Edition is done all in black leather and the normal edition is done in nubuck. Overall, this is a great design for a boot. The leather on the TF broke in after a couple days and the nubuck felt broken in as soon as I put them on."

"O land-survey for a living so I live in my boots -- literally. . . was afraid of a lot of seams at first but this boot is solid and the gore-tex liner keeps my feet dry. . . I've treated the boot and it seems to keep the water out -- again, the gore-tex liner seals the deal."

"If you're looking for a lightweight boot for day hikes, this one is ideal. I found it extremely comfortable and sturdy. After two years of heavy use as a field biologist in a wide variety of areas from desert bouldering to tropical rainforests, these boots have held up extremely well."

"Depending on what you're looking for this boot is either a 3-star or a 5-star boot. This boot is one of the lightest on the market at 2lbs 3oz for the pair! They're amazingly comfortable and the fit is very nice. On the downside, the midsole is VERY flexible and doesn't offer any torsional stability."

"Great boot, but I abused them greatly. About 15% of their use was on trail and the remaining 85% was off trail in very rugged scree and razor sharp carbonate rock. They lasted about a year, close to 500 miles, and are now retired. They are very comfortable, needed at most one mile for break-in period, waterproof, breathable, and lightweight."
