I've decided I need something a LOT more substantial than the New Balance Boots, and I thought the size 13 in the Lowas should do the trick. question_269140 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 00:34:18 GMT do these boots fit a narrow foot? http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-expedition-8000-gtx-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_269079#question_269079 Lowa Expedition 8000 GTX Boot - Men's do these boots fit a narrow foot? question_269079 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:33:30 GMT Will these lowa's take an orthodic insert http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-renegade-ii-gtx-lo-shoe-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_268093#question_268093 Lowa Renegade II GTX Lo Shoe - Women's Will these lowa's take an orthodic insert question_268093 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:52:35 GMT Does anyone know it the Lowa GTX have thicker tongue padding http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-mountain-expert-gtx-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_267235#question_267235 Lowa Mountain Expert GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's Does anyone know it the Lowa GTX have thicker tongue padding than the Lowa Vajolet. Just tried Vajolet - on steep decents - the lace preasure on my instep is too painful. question_267235 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:50:28 GMT I asked the opposite question on the Scarpa Charmoz GTX page, http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-vajolet-gtx-mountaineering-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_266164#question_266164 Lowa Vajolet GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's I asked the opposite question on the Scarpa Charmoz GTX page, but I'm wondering how this boot compares (fit-wise) to the Charmoz?

However, I also read some reviews that mention that they also run a little short than normal sizing. Has anyone experienced a problem with the length of these boots (not the width, running narrow is what I'm looking for)? Thanks question_251854 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 11:08:46 GMT How do these compare to the La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX? http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-mountain-expert-gtx-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_244850#question_244850 Lowa Mountain Expert GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's How do these compare to the La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX? question_244850 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:43:56 GMT I noticed that some of the Lowa Men's Renegade boots have http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-renegade-gtx-mid-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_241654#question_241654 Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot - Men's I noticed that some of the Lowa Men's Renegade boots have different styles of loops above the boot heel. Some have a smaller thinner loop with "Renegade" written on it and others have a striped loop that looks more substantial. Are these two different year models of boots? I wondered if one has upgraded features from the previous year....or are they the same boot? Thanks. question_241654 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 21:48:37 GMT Purchased the Zephyr Mid half size up from my normal running http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-renegade-gtx-mid-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_235612#question_235612 Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot - Men's Purchased the Zephyr Mid half size up from my normal running shoe size and they fit perfectly. Definately want to get a pair of these (or the Lowa Renegade LL mid, non GTX for warmer temps). I presume ordering a half size up again will be the way to go? Any ideas on sizing? question_235612 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 07:23:27 GMT Would backcounty.com be able to get these in a 10.5 narrow? http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-banff-pro-backpacking-boot-mens-low0019?CMP_ID=QRSS_230281#question_230281 Lowa Banff Pro Backpacking Boot - Men's Would backcounty.com be able to get these in a 10.5 narrow? question_230281 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:11:18 GMT What's the weight on these? http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-bora-gtx-qc-shoe-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_230114#question_230114 Lowa Bora GTX Hiking Boot - Women's What's the weight on these? question_230114 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 22:28:24 GMT Can anybody say anything about how well insulated these are? http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-mountain-expert-gtx-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_225703#question_225703 Lowa Mountain Expert GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's Can anybody say anything about how well insulated these are? How well would they perform in consistent 20 deg F temperatures? question_225703 Wed, 18 May 2011 08:05:12 GMT What is the width like on these? I have a wide forefoot, but http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-renegade-gtx-mid-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_221192#question_221192 Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot - Men's What is the width like on these? I have a wide forefoot, but a regular heel. I usually buy wide width shoes, though medium width shoes and boots with a nice big toe box are a better bet when available. Specifically interested in the Lowas because of the polyurethane midsole. Sick of EVA midsoles going pancake on me after a few months. question_221192 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:20:53 GMT I hear a lot of people gripe about these not being for the backcountry? http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-renegade-gtx-mid-boot-mens?CMP_ID=QRSS_217274#question_217274 Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot - Men's I hear a lot of people gripe about these not being for the backcountry?

Please comment. I'm planning on an "on-line" purchase and am not able to try on a pair in the area that I live in. question_214791 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:06:12 GMT How much insulation is in this boot?

I bought these boots a while ago now and really like everything http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-banff-pro-backpacking-boot-mens-low0019?CMP_ID=QRSS_210421#question_210421 Lowa Banff Pro Backpacking Boot - Men's Hi. I bought these boots a while ago now and really like everything about them. The soles are about worn through in places. I plan to wear them till my toes touch the ground. I brought them to a local, grouchy, cobbler who didn't impress me as someone who would resole them correctly. I was hoping he'd have a sole to match the one on the boot (I think it's fairly common) but he didn't. Anyway, does anyone know how or where I can get these boots reliably resoled? Thanks for your time. question_210421 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:04:22 GMT I'm still in search of boots for a Philmont trek with my http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-renegade-gtx-mid-boot-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_205533#question_205533 Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot - Women's I'm still in search of boots for a Philmont trek with my son this summer. I tried another pair of boots with a less flexible sole and quite bit heavier but after backpacking in them they were just too klunky and did not fit well. These boots are so comfortable but I worry that the soles are not as rigid as other boots. So my question is: are these boots "Philmont-worthy"? PS. I weigh 115 lbs, so pack can be at max 35 pounds (i.e., max load will be about 150lbs) question_205533 Sat, 01 Jan 2011 17:13:24 GMT
