I have a pair of Lowa Tibet's and have been very happy with them. They are not lightweight, but are very comfortable and stable. From what I have heard, they hold up well. Mine are only about 6 months old and appear almost new.

I have the Lowa's in two different styles. For me they are excellent for both comfort and support.

I have 3 different pairs, probably the models I have are discontinued but Lowas are great boots. I have two pair for backpacking/side hilling with weight, a desert boot for heat and the other for colder temps. And a lighter weight trekking boot for work and hiking. Make sure and get a boot for your activity.

I bought my 1st Lowas in the mid 1990s. They were the plastic double mountaineering boots and I have been a user ever since. I have a narrow heel and a wide forefoot and they fit me well. I have 4 pairs in use now ranging from Desert Zephyrs to Leather GTX models. I have never had a problem w/ construction or comfort.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

I have a pair of Lowa Renegade hiking boots, I like them a lot. I use them for bird hunting when I won't encounter much deep water, very comfortable!

Lowa boots like many other quality made things have a certain feel to them -when you slip your foot into them -you know . When I slid my foot into the Banff model boot it reminded me of the first time I slid into a Western Mountaineering sleeping bag --within seconds I knew they were worth every penny .
There's a place in Oregon that has great prices and sales on them - I got my Banff's for $160 close out year sale .

Lowa Renegade has been my everyday boot (literally) for over 5 years... love them.

Renegades are my go to as well. From day hikes to week long backpack trips, including a Grand Canyon Rim to Rim trip. I have been very pleased with them.

Everyone knows what they mean.
What's more important is time that is known
