For years, LOWA has been known for high-quality, durable boots (we gave the Renegade GTX Mid an Editors’ Choice Hall of Fame award in 2018). Now, the company is introducing lighter, faster, updated versions of their most reliable products. The Explorer GTX has tried-and-true features like a Vibram outsole and a mid-cut cuff, but also boasts modern touches such as a softer, lightweight midsole package made with DynaPU and a thinner toecap to reduce weight. It is available in a non-Gore-Tex low version as well.
