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.

    Why do we prefer to explore nature on foot?

    A day hike lasts for less than 24 hours and leads back to the starting point. The tour can cover either moun­tainous or flat terrain. The primary aim is to experience nature. The hike is usually done with light backpacks, and its degree of difficulty can vary greatly.

    “When you experience your multi­faceted surroundings with all of your senses, you open your spirit to an appealing and pleas­urable future and venture off the beaten path.”

    • Cush­ioning
      Good boot cush­ioning is necessary to create a pleasant feeling during each step a hiker takes. This ensures optimal comfort over a long period of time.

    • Comfortable
      Comfortable footwear is essential for long distances covered on foot. This is why LOWA places such a high priority on exact fit, something that is perfectly designed to handle short or long strolls.

    • Stability
      To ensure sufficient grip during hikes, both the sole and the upper should be stable.

    Why doesn’t the weather make any difference to us at all?

    Walking the dog is a joint activity in which dog owners and their pets head out into nature. Such walks are a regular part of dog owners’ daily lives.

    Why don’t we take the gondola?

    A mountain hike involves a tour in highland terrain. This is the easiest way to explore the mountains. In principle, mountain hiking is something for everyone. The tours frequently use forest trails or paths. The higher the altitude of the hikes, the greater the degree of difficulty and the greater the need for experience, preparation, fitness, grip and a head for heights. Mountain hiking is a basic form of mountain climbing. The transition is frequently seamless.

    Why don’t we find our answers within ourselves?

    Pilgrims take a journey to a holy or spiritual place. The pilgrim takes a journey that lasts for several days or even weeks – usually on foot. Pilgrimages are a part of many religions. Today, belief in God does not have to be the primary reason for the pilgrimage. The reasons can vary greatly. Many pilgrims want to forget about their everyday lives, make a key decision or get to know them­selves. No matter what reason may prompt an indi­vidual to undertake a pilgrim hike, it is not the destination that matters most. It is the experience-filled journey that counts for the pilgrim.

DOUBLE INJECTION Upper and sole become a fixed unit

To provide effective cush­ioning and improved comfort, the sole of the RENEGADE GTX MID is bonded to the upper in a tech­nically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.

  • Light­weight
    This process uses a plastic called poly­urethane. It is a very light­weight foam padding.

  • Cush­ioning
    The plastic called poly­urethane is a foam padding that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.

  • A wide range of design options
    Thanks to direct injection, the sole can be designed in a very large number of ways. The multi­faceted prop­erties of the materials used enable the shoes to be effective in a broad number of areas.

SUPPORT FRAME Comfortably framed

  • Good guidance for the foot
    The foot is optimally nestled into the shoe thanks to the frame’s three-dimen­sional design.

  • Increased comfort
    The special midsole design ensures snug footing in the shoe. The foot is pleasantly cradled by the three-dimen­sional frame.

TWO ZONE LACING The shoes fit correctly as a result

Thanks to the two-zone lacing system used in the RENEGADE GTX MID, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the shoe can be indi­vidually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents.

“It is convenient being able to match your footwear with your activity and terrain with the aid of this twin-zone lacing system. My forefoot has to be held perfectly in place inside the boot, espe­cially for descents. I need a bit more space on the upper.”

Don’t feel like choosing? You don’t have to!

Outdoor activities are no longer something that take place only in the mountains. Spending time outside after work, taking a quick trip into nature on the spur of the moment: for many people this is simply part and parcel of their lifestyle. In urban envir­onments, in particular, the boundaries between modern city life and a spon­taneous experience of nature are becoming increasingly blurred. Two worlds are merging into one: time for a new, hybrid generation of outdoor footwear that meets these precise requirements.
