Men hiking shoe Lowa Renegade Evo GTX Mid 2024 UK 8,5 | black-dune

The RENEGADE has stood for exactly one attribute in particular over decades: the perfect fit. To take this feature to the next level, LOWA has added a few special details that make the new RENEGADE EVO GTX MID even more refined. Attention was paid, for example, to providing the upper with additional comfort by using just one single piece of material for the inside of the forefoot area. This refinement eliminated the need for superfluous seams, so that the nubuck leather can now flexibly adjust to the individual shape of the wearer’s foot bones, preventing friction and taking pressure off the big toe joint. The dual-zone lacing system also supports this effect by making adjustments to individual needs even easier, thanks to the redesigned locking hooks. The waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane is a further guarantee for heightened comfort. In addition, the new RENEGADE features a newly designed sole package: the directly injected midsole comprises two impact-absorbing components. The first layer is made of LOWA® DYNAPU® and the second of a firmer element that works in tandem with the CROSS OVER FRAME to provide optimal guidance. The new VIBRAM-RENE-TRAC® sole provides dependable grip.

MIDSOLE
100%
Poly­urethane (PU)
Poly­urethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become light­weight and func­tionally flexible.

INSOLE
Approx. 30%
Polyester
Polyester is synthetic plastic fibre made from crude oil. In chemical terms, it is a polymer that can be processed into many different materials. Thanks to its chemical flex­ibility, polyester is light­weight, dries quickly, does not shrink and has the highest levels of tear and abrasion resistance.

Approx. 45%
Felt
Felt is a textile fabric that is made of disordered fibrous material that is difficult to separate. The textile fabric is char­ac­terised by its high elasticity and its insu­lating qualities. As a result, it is used in particular as a component in insoles and as an insu­lating divider.

Approx. 10%
Mesh
Mesh is a material that consists of many evenly spaced holes. It is usually made of polyester or nylon and basically a lattice-like material that is created by interwoven threads. Thanks to its special design, the man-made fibre is partic­ularly permeable to air, has special moisture-regu­lating qualities and is easy to care for, breathable and crease-resistant.

Approx. 70%
Memolatex
Memo latex is composed of very soft latex foam. In addition to being light­weight, memo latex supports the natural rolling motion of the foot. It is primarily used in shoe insoles as a result. Memo latex also indi­vidually enwraps the foot and is partic­ularly comfortable as a result.

UPPER MATERIAL
100%
Nubuck leather
Nubuck leather is a full-grain leather that is slightly sanded, a process that lends a velvety look to the leather. Nubuck leather is espe­cially durable, robust and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, the suede can be left untreated during the manu­fac­turing process or oiled or waxed.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Injected Construction
To create optimal cush­ioning and the very best comfort, the soles of LOWA multi­func­tional shoes are directly injected. The complex injection process attaches the slip-lasted upper directly to the sole. This method creates shoes that offer optimal cush­ioning and are partic­ularly light­weight.
