Read what this review had to say:

LOWA RENEGADE GTX LO

"For hopping across the talus of Spray Park, in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, you need some serious underfoot support, says test Dan Nelson.

And, he should know - Dan has metal pins holding together a heel he shattered in a paragliding accident.

While other light hikers have failed to protect his soles from bruising, the sturdy support of the LOWA Renegade GTX passed with flying colors."
