By RiverRat from Southern Indiana on 09/23/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I have a very narrow foot, and these fit great. It's hard to find shoes that are narrow in the toe box. A wide foot would have trouble with these, though. They fit great, they're cute, and they look like the traction would be good. However, there is simply not enough cushioning in these for my tastes. It felt like I was walking barefoot on concrete. Hence, three stars.
By NC Hiker from Winston-Salem, NC on 09/21/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Durable, Great Traction Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Grass, Mixed Terrain, Paved Trails, Rocky/Unstable Terrain Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Good to find a LOWA shoe that's not a boot
By Olympic Mountains hiker/climber from Hansville, WA on 09/18/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Alpine Climberhiker Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used these boots on 3 steep hikes, up and down. Probably covered 25 miles so far. They were remarkably comfortable. Traction on rock and scree has been just fine. That is in spite of the fact the sole does not look too aggressive. I have not been in really wet conditions so I can't say they are waterproof yet.
By Billygoat from Odenton, MD on 09/17/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Water Resistant Cons: Lacks ankle support, Not supportive Best Uses: Short wet walks Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Ask any hiking boot sales person and they will tell you - Support comes from the sole or shank of the boot. I bought these boots online thinking the only thing I have to worry about was size. Sierra trading post is very true to getting you the correct fit. I was looking for an inexpensive boot intended use is for day hikes, house work and motorcycle riding.
The boots arrived promptly and fit great. I was disappointed. I never experienced a boot that lacked the foot bed shank. The shank usually keeps rocks from poking up and it keeps the foot stable in uneven terrain too. I did not realize some one made a tall weatherproof slipper. I was disappointed that the boot had less support than my Colodado made hiking sandals. I would only recommend this foot wear for short trips to the store in cool wet conditions, and in areas where stable footing is not required. If you have strong ankles, add a set of super foot beds and you might be-able complete 2 hour hike on groomed trails. End result, you can do more with a set of trail running shoes and get better cushion too.

I'll never buy another brand. Everyone in my family wears Lowa, and STP's prices can't be beat.

By alaskantraveler from fairbanks, alaska on 09/14/2009 Cons: Might be a bit narrow Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Seems like a nice boot, have had 2 pairs of Lowa before and loved them. These are black suede, not sure how durable they will be. We will see. Seem a bit narrow in the toe with a heavy sock, not sure about that yet either. But they are comfortable and nice looking. Lowa is a great boot, so I am hopeful!

I like to buy products made in Germany or USA
By WSH from Bucks County, PA on 09/11/2009 Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These are nice boots, but they were very narrow. My husband wears the Lowa Renegade normally, and these were much narrower. I returned them quite some time ago and am still waiting for a credit. Not happy at all.
Not Hiking Books: Walking Boots. By jbuy from Norfok, VA on 09/10/2009 Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Lowa does not list this as a hiking boot. It is categorized as a "walking" boot. The thin sole makes this evident. Very light shoe, but with very little cushion. Sole is insufficient for rocky terrain. Trails: yes; hiking: no.
As a walking shoe, this would be okay with better insoles. Cannot recommend for hiking. Decent city shoe.
