LOWA

LOWA is a hiking shoe brand with a rich history dating back to the early 1920s. Originally handcrafted in a cobbler's shop in a small village in southeastern Germany, their boots have come a long way. While their facilities have expanded over the years, LOWA's headquarters remains in the same town to this day.

In the 1930s, they began developing alpine and lace-up ski boots for the mountain infantry, a venture that lasted until the end of World War II. After the war, LOWA transitioned back to consumer products and established itself as a staple in the ski and mountaineering industries. They became pioneers in PU injection molding and introduced various product innovations that set new manufacturing standards.

One of LOWA's most notable offerings is the Renegade, which was introduced in 1997 and remains a popular midweight boot in the market. With the look and feel of a traditional leather hiker, the Renegade impresses with its lightweight design, weighing just 2 lbs. 7 oz. for the mid-height Gore-Tex model. The Renegade comes in a range of color and sizing options, including narrow, regular, and wide widths, allowing for a customized fit. While LOWA's expertise primarily lies in technical mountaineering and ice climbing footwear, they also offer a selection of tactical designs and cold-weather boots, including insulated variations of the Renegade.
