5.0 out of 5 stars The ideal hiking boot, June 19, 2009

By	Alp Walker (NYC) - See all my reviews

I have hiked extensively in the Alps over the last 25 years, and I have been in Lowa Trekkers all the way. They are amazing: they give firm support, they are flexible, very comfortable, not too heavy, and they work well in almost all conditions. They are not Goretex boots. I avoid Goretex hiking boots, as your feet get very hot and sore on warmer days. These boots work well in cold conditions, although they are not suitable for really cold conditions.

Lowa Trekkers keep out water well enough, and if your feet get damp, then you just dry them and your boots out overnight in the huts or in your tent. If you take better care of your boots than I do, then they will be really good at keeping out water. I generally carry a 20 lb pack in Europe. Maybe, if you carry a 60 lb pack, you will need even more sturdy boots, but I think these would work for most people.

My feet have only felt sore and fatigued on the very longest hikes, and I have only felt insecure in Trekkers when I have kept a pair too long and the treads have worn away. Generally, you will need a new pair about every 3 to 5 years, if you hike a lot each summer.

By the way, these are far better boots than the Lowa Renegades, which feel great in the store, but are not solid or supportive enough for serious hiking. The Lowa Trekker will feel stiffer in the store, but will fit you like a glove after a week. That said, the boot should feel like it really fits your foot in the store, with no sore or tight spots. I have never found the breaking in period to be tough in any way. I just would not take a long hike in these the day after purchase. In Europe, everyone knows these boots, and a lot of hikers wear them.
