I brought a pair of lowa Renegade GTX mid just over a year ago i got them as i thought Lowa was a good company ( very wrong ) i wore them everyday walking on the road and fields and never went near a mountain and with in a year if it rains or the grass is wet i get wet feet, i sent them back to were i got them from and now lowa with there so say 2 year warranty are not interested so i might as well put the boots in the bin they are the worst boots i have ever had. so if you are are thinking of buying a new pair of boots from Lowa don't waste your money find a more professional company who make better boots and knows how to look after there customers as Lowa don't.
