Lowa’s Renegade was one of the best-selling hiking boots in the world— now it’s been updated with hunters in mind. The Renegade II GTX Hi was introduced at the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, featuring a new outsole with plenty of ankle support for off-trail excursions.

The Renegade II GTX Hi features an eight-inch high ankle support and new outsole, to provide hunters with stability and all-day hiking comfort. A Nubuck leather upper with Gore-Tex lining provides all-weather protection against the elements, keeping feet drier, longer. The Lowa Patrol outsole features 5 mm deep lugs for excellent traction on dirt, mud and slick rocks.

New with the Renegade II, a PU MonoWrap frame offers superb lateral stability on uneven terrain, helping protect feet when the miles start adding up. At just 22-ozs., the boot is incredibly lightweight, preventing fatigue and extending range. Likewise, an ATC insole wicks moisture away, preventing blisters. A hard stabilizer in the midfoot makes the Renegade II GTX Hi exceptionally well-suited for climbing mountains. MSRP on the boot is $285. For more information, visit lowaboots.com.
