Hi, I’m Darlene Panzera, an adventurer, author, and mom, and I’d like to share 5 reasons why I decided to buy Lowa Women’s Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots.
Last year I bought a pair of hiking boots from another company that felt great when I tried them on in the store, but when I started hiking in them, they didn’t quite feel right.
