I had a pair of goretex LOWAS for 15 years that carried me hiking through Ireland, the Grand Canyon, the Ozark Mountains, and hauling wood on the family farm. The sole is what gave out in the end & attempts to repair didn't work. Sadly, instead of simply replacing them, I went through a variety of other highly rated brands - always disappointed.
I was talking to someone about the best pair of hikers I ever had (Lowas) and came here to see if there was a similar pair.
This is the closest and already have gone through snow and ice.
Sturdy. Supportive. Incredible traction. Waterproof. Warm.
This is on single digit fahrenheit weather, snow & ice.
I have plantar fasciitis so, I do order up a size to accommodate my orthotics but I do that with any brand. I also have bunionettes (outside of feet) which mean I need some extra space. Again, this applies to anything I wear. I didn't need to adjust the tongue / eyes spacing for me. I do wear mine tight around the ankles for stability (hikers are made for this) & they do this well.
I don't know if they'll last another 15 years but they've already blown away the other comparably priced brands - again.

Sweet Pair of Hiking Boots
After researching several popular brands of hiking boots, I decided to purchase Lowa Women's Renegade hiking boots. I liked what other reviewers had to say about them.I have been wearing them around town to break them in and I haven't been hiking with them yet. The first day took a little bit of adjusting. The right boot fit a little tight and created a pressure spot that had I been hiking in them, it would have been uncomfortable. Upon subsequent wearing, the boots stretched in all the right places, and after "hiking" in them all day on my monthly shopping trip in a nearby city, they kept my feet comfortable all day. I have every confidence that they will work well when I go on a real hiking trip in the near future.I like the breathe-ability of these boots. My feet tend to overheat quickly and more times than not I'm kicking my shoes off because they get so uncomfortable in some shoes that I wear. However, after wearing the Lowa Renegade boots all day, my feet were perfectly comfortable.These come in a variety of colors, but I chose red because that's my favorite color. These are a nice, rich red. My daughter says they remind her of tomatoes and make her hungry when she looks at them! I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but either way I'll be sure to work up a good appetite after being on the hiking trails all day.Update: I wore these hiking boots on a recent camping/hiking trip. They kept my feet comfortable both days of hiking. The second day was wet and muddy, but my feet stayed dry.
