The Renegade II GTX Mid is a hiking boot made by Lowa. It has an average rating of 3.5 stars (out of 5), based on 9 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The nubuck Lowa Men's Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot features a waterproof breathable Gore-Tex lining so you can cross streams and slog through mud, and your feet will stay dry. If water gets in through your boot's top, Lowa designed its insole to use the natural pump action of walking to force water vapor out of the shoe. A beefy Vibram sole will keep you as sure-footed as a mountain goat on rough terrain. These Renegade boots wear comfortably for the long haul thanks to an injected PU mid-sole that absorbs shock and the stability and support of a shank."

"These boots were great for the first few months but after about seven months (of ~30 miles/week light walking through Ohio woodland) three major seams started to give way. After 12 months I had them re-sewn by a local shoe-repair shop but then they had to be waterproofed because the Gore-tex liner was sewn through."

"These boots have treated me great! I've wandered thru South America for 3 months w/ these as my everyday footwear and have no complaints. Everything from city streets to Andean mountain trails. They kept me stable, comfortable and dry. . . not to mention looking cool and casual for going out on the town (who wants to carry two pairs of shoes?)."

"Great for the city or tooling around town but definitely not for the trail. I bought my Lowa's 2 years ago and they look as if a puppy has been chewing on them after moderate use. Aside from lacking durability, they are horrendous on rocky/rooty terrain, pretty much a given in Vermont."

"The boots were great out of the box brand new. Stiff and can take the weight. Broke it in right away a week before setting out for the John Muir Wilderness, Mosquito Flats campsite. Those rocks up did some work on my feet and the boots took it. Unfortunately the Lowas too the hit for me and died on the way back."

"Bottom line: comfortable urban boot. Shines in the urban streets, useless on any real trails. Stay close to home with your Renegade II, otherwise you will be sorry.

Pros:
- a good boot for urban warior, during fall and winter days, at least in NYC, Boston and anywhere in Northeast where snow and rain is a problem."

"I've had these boots for about four years. . . haven't wanted to give them up. Unfortunately I've worn the sole through and can't get away with them in the winter anymore.

Unbelivably comfortable (I do have orthopedic inserts), never a blister or a problem."

"Lighter than most boots without sacrificing support. Lend credence to the adage, "a pound on the foot is equal to 10 on the back." In this case the converse is true: much easier walks without all the bulk of heavy leather boots.

The newer models now have metal eyelets, which probably makes this even a better boot."

"After eight years, my Slovenian-made Planika Trekking shoes asked for a change. I found a small shop while I was on a business trip, and made a purchase in 5 minutes. 20pct cash discount. Never heard about Lowa before. Now I can recommend it to everyone."
