Well, I’m sold. Price? Any ITS supporters carry these boots on their sites? What spray did you use when you bought the boots? Great review, Bryan! Thanks!
Excellent! I’m glad my recommendation was able to pay off.
I’m surprised to see that separation at the toe. I haven’t experienced that on any of my pairs. I’ve only used the Gore-Tex models, but I don’t think that the outers are any different.
(And thanks for pronouncing Vibram correctly!)
Great review on the Lowa’s. If you put some Shoe Goo on the mono-wrap on the toe area that should seal it up.
Thanks for the review Bra, you know I been standing by for this one haha. Placed my order in to pick them up while on travel.

I’ve heard that Lowa feel like slippers, is that true?
What about size? Is it true to measure or not?
Thank for the review Bryan!
Paolo,
I recently tried on a pair at REI and I would say they are pretty true to size. I wear 9.5 in salomon products and when I tried on the 9.5 of the Lowa’s, it was the same feel. I will say though that I was wearing thin socks, so there might be a more ‘snug’ feel if you wear something thicker. But I’m sure Bryan can give you a more accurate statement on this due to him logging serious time in the boot.

good review. I’ve been wearing the Asolo Fugitive for several years now and have had great luck regarding wear and performance. How would you rate the Lowa to the Asolo’s?
What is the name of that truck lock box? Mind emailing me the brand?
Thanks,
Cole
Cole, it’s a Tuffy Lock Box.
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to let everyone know I just picked up a pair of these since my old hiking boots (http://www.rei.com/product/780681/salomon-quest-4d-gtx-hiking-boots-mens) were in need of replacing. I picked them up on a Wednesday, wore them to work Thursday, and then wore them on a Fri/Sat/Sun (4.4mi/12.9mi/8.7mi) hiking trip. These are hands down the most comfortable boots I have every worn for any camping/hiking/mountaineering activity. I picked up this version at R.E.I. (http://www.rei.com/product/789686/lowa-renegade-ii-gtx-mid-hiking-boots-mens) and they held up great both in the cold, and when wet during the trip. Thanks for the awesome review Bryan, as well as the other video you posted on the way to tie these boots the ‘mountaineering way”, they were both much appreciated.
