Lowa

Love these boots! I ordered the "B" width and they are just about perfect, no break-in needed. I will be doing extensive hiking/backpacking this summer and I think these will be very comfortable and provide adequate support for moderate trips.

I have not worn these hiking as yet but around town they are some of the most comfortable shoes I own.

Had high hopes for these as my new summer/lightweight boot after owning a pair of the Zephyr GTX Mids for over 4 years now. Wore these for only a few hours and the seams on the right boot started to come apart. Sent them back and ordered the original "Desert" version to replace them with. They do seem to fit a bit tighter (Width wise) than the original GTX Mids I own, but still not an excuse for them to come apart on day 1. Very disappointed in the boot but Zappos/VIP rules.

Not only a beautifully made boot, it is very comfortable. My normal size is a 10, but you didn't offer a 10, so C/S said, "try the 9.5, it can't hurt," and to my surprise it fit better than my own size. A well made shoe, and very nice looking as well. 5 Stars for Lowa.

Excellent work shoes! My work involves lots of Pacific Northwest all-weather bushwhacking & looking professional afterwards, and these are just right. Just don't tie them too tight & allow a little break in time just like any good pair of leather hiking boots. I've had these in blue high-top form in the past and they lasted several years. Money well spent!

Wow! These boots are wonderful. I have never had a pair of walking shoes that fit my long narrow feet. I have never had any kind of athletic shoes that came close to fitting. These boots are not tight, but the narrow size is properly shaped for a thin foot. My foot does not slide forward and smash my toes. I am wearing these with heavy socks, so that probably takes up some of the width. Obviously, I ordered the narrow size. The boots are amazingly lightweight and comfortable. Right out of the box, they allow for complete flexibility of the ankle. When walking I feel like skipping, the soles are so cushy. Oh, and they are cute. My feet are very happy.

This is the one! If you are looking for the hiking shoe or the boot, Lowa is the brand. from the very first beginning the shoe fits you perfect. No need to break it in. And, also important: it is a long lasting quality. I have two boots and now the sneaker from them and I'm very happy.

I bought these elsewhere because Zappos only carries the brown - Zappos, please carry the other colors! This is a fantastic all around walking shoe!

Shopping at Zappos was fast, easy, shoes arrived very quickly. My second pair. Lowa makes a rare item, thoughtfully engineered and carefully made of superior materials. My wife, famous for taking the fam on death marches, swears they are the most comfortable boots she’s ever worn. And they last for years.

The LOWA Focus is a great shoe. I do a lot of walking and hiking. It holds up well, but wears down quickly if on asphalt only.

Really wanted to like these, they look great and appear comfy but not. I have been purchasing Merrell Chameleon's for years and was looking for something in black when I stumbled on this Brand Lowa on the Zappos site under "new arrivals." I was really excited to get them as they appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. I ordered a Pair of both the new Renegade GTX and the new Chameleon5. First thing I noticed was the Lowa box was thrashed. The Lowa have very soft uppers and a cool lining and are pretty light for the size, but the sole is hard and feels like a $60.00-$80.00 discount/bargain price boot. I have tried different style socks with no luck. I am going to keep them but after several weeks of wear I can already tell they will find their way to the back of my closet from lack of use. As of right now they hurt to walk in for any distance. The Merrell were top notch and feel like butter on my feet.

EXCELLENT boot! I wore them on a 5-hour hike the first day I got them and they were extremely comfortable. No need to break these in. I'm crazy picky about comfortable shoes and have worn these in from 20 degrees in the snow to 95 degree Alabama heat. Well worth the price.

Excellent shoes but I bought size 11 in brown and fit perfectly. Bought same size for black and slightly too big. Good luck!

I found these shoes to run narrow. They feel like a heavy duty piece of equipment. Heavy but not unreasonably so. Built like a tank. Too bad they don't fit me.

I have worn Lowa shoes before and was encouraged to try these because they were on sale. I'm delighted with them. The firm sole and comfortable fit suit my feet just fine.

Not quite right fit for the wide width version... The wide width might work for a C/borderline D width foot. I found the toe box to be roomy and high, but sort of oddly shaped with a slope downwards towards the outside of the foot. The laces were also very hard to tighten, especially around the ankle, it's like the tongue is too stiff. This might change with time but was a deal-breaker for me because I could not adjust the shoe to fit properly.

I bought a pair of the GTX six months ago and they are falling apart at the seams. I thought that I would get a better product for the money. But I will give them another chance because there is a bad apple in every bunch. Stay tuned and I will let you know how the next pair works out.

The most comfortable pair of boots I've ever purchased. No break in period needed/instantly comfortable! I bought for military/tactical employment and am 100% satisfied. Matches tan or black 5.11/Blackwater pants well. Only downside in design is that it will look oddly small on your foot. Recommended to order 1/2 size larger than what you normally wear for proper fit. I marked "felt true to size" because I knew not to order my standard size. Bottom line: Lowa earned itself a repeat customer.

Other reviews are accurate regarding the stiffness of these shoes. Still breaking them in after nearly daily wear for a month. They slip when wet on indoor metal like door thresholds but not on laminate or tile. They do provide me with dry and reliable light snow/ice/mud footing which is what I bought them for, spring outdoor walking in New Hampshire.

We took a trip to the Grand Canyon in February so bought these for my kids and myself. (boy age 12, girls 15 and 18). All the reviews are right on! Lightweight, almost no break in period, grippy, stable, comfortable, warm but not too warm. At first my girls did not like them for a variety of reasons but by the end of a week living in them they didn't want to take them off.
