Specifications: - Weight: 1170 g Vibram® evo: - The RENEGADE GTX MID Ws comes equipped with a Vibram® sole. The Italian sole manu­facturer has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years. - The VIBRAM® EVO applies proven Vibram® tech­nology: multi­func­tional profile design with an optimal rubber compound for hikes performed on the widest range of terrains. Combined with the proven heel profile for pleasant descents. 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 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 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. 45% 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, nubuck leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed. Lining material: - Guar­anteed weather protection: Guar­anteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The RENEGADE GTX MID Ws is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative tech­nology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breath­ability. Permanently waterproof: - The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX tech­nology to keep your feet pleasantly dry. High breath­ability: - Designed with optimal breath­ability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane. Windproof: - The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like. Technology: Upper and sole become a fixed unit double injection: - To provide effective cush­ioning and improved comfort, the sole of the RENEGADE GTX MID is bonded to the upper in a tech­nically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together. Light­weight - This process uses a plastic called poly­urethane. It is a very light­weight foam padding. Cush­ioning - The plastic called poly­urethane is a foam padding that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect. A wide range of design options - Thanks to direct injection, the sole can be designed in a very large number of ways. The multi­faceted prop­erties of the materials used enable the shoes to be effective in a broad number of areas. Comfortably framed: - With the LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame, the midsole of the RENEGADE GTX MID provides the very best comfort. This three-dimen­sional midsole design was developed by LOWA in 1995. The frame comfortably cradles the foot and support it when the shoe wearer ventures across uneven surfaces. The sole design is slightly raised for shoes with a SUPPORT FRAME. Good guidance for the foot - The foot is optimally nestled into the shoe thanks to the frame’s three-dimen­sional design. Increased comfort - The special midsole design ensures snug footing in the shoe. The foot is pleasantly cradled by the three-dimen­sional frame. Light­weight - The LOWA-MONOWRAP® is made of a plastic called poly­urethane. It is a very light­weight material. Footwear stiffness: - The shoe is moderately stiff.
