All told, the Renegade is a great middle ground between a bulky leather boot and lightweight synthetic design like the Topo Athletic Trailventure 2 below, and our top pick for demanding backpacking trips that cover a variety of terrain.īut while the Renegade is a great option for hikers who prioritize support and protection, it will be overkill for some. But the Lowa nails the comfort equation too: The boot comes in wide, narrow, and regular widths, and-unlike the more streamlined boots here-features a tall and stiff collar for noticeable ankle support. As we’d expect from a burly leather boot, it features a hardwearing design and stable construction that translate to great support and protection on technical trails. Year after year, Lowa’s Renegade is one of the most beloved hiking boots on the trail, combining the look, feel, and performance of a traditional design with an impressively low weight. What we don’t: Overkill for easy hiking only offered in a waterproof version. What we like: Great support, comfort, and protection for covering long distances with a full pack.
