Which model is recommended for trekking?

​For decades, RENEGADE has followed the same principle: perfect fit. To further improve this aspect, the new RENEGADE EVO GTX MID has been enhanced with specific details. For example, the inner side of the front part of the shoe is made in a single piece, providing superior upper comfort. By eliminating unnecessary seams, the nubuck leather is processed to flexibly adapt to the individual structure of the foot, avoiding chafing and relieving the big toe joint. The dual-zone lacing also plays its part and, thanks to newly designed hooks, can now be adjusted more easily to individual needs. The waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane ensures superior comfort. Moreover, the new RENEGADE features a newly designed sole system. The direct-injection midsole includes two cushioning agents: the first is LOWA® DYNAPU®, the second, more stable, works in synergy with the CROSS OVER FRAME to ensure perfect foot guidance. The new VIBRAM RENE TRAC® sole contributes to excellent grip.
