The year of 1997: It was a time when the block­buster film “Titanic” was showing in cinemas, Tony Blair was celeb­rating his election victory in the United Kingdom and the German football team Schalke 04 was revelling in its UEFA Cup cham­pi­onship. It was also a time of trans­formation at LOWA. Werner Riethmann and his devel­opment team were busy thinking about a new way to produce hiking boots and make them lighter in the process. The foundation for a new way to produce hiking boots was laid by the leisure-time and running area. For the first time in the company’s history, LOWA produced a shoe that was directly injected and not cemented – the RENEGADE was born.

Weight: 1170 g/P air (UK 8) Guar­anteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The RENEGADE GTX MID is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative tech­nology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breath­ability.

Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX tech­nology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.

High breath­ability
Designed with optimal breath­ability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.

Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.
