LOWA Explorer Collection

LOWA Explorer boots are designed for extended day hikes, mixed terrain walking and backpacking. They offer a supportive yet comfortable feel that works well for everything from countryside paths to hill trails.

The LOWA Explorer GTX Mid and Renegade Evo GTX Mid are similar in purpose but use different construction methods.

The Explorer uses a traditional cemented construction, which means it can be resoled in the future. It offers a slightly more supportive feel with modern cushioning from LOWA’s Litecell PU midsole.

The Renegade Evo range uses Direct Injection construction, creating a softer, more flexible and cushioned feel, but it cannot be resoled and has a more tapered fit.
