Renegade GTX Mid
across 4 reviews
4.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Vibram Evo outsole grips well on wet rock, mud, loose gravel, snow, and technical terrain
  • Gore-tex liner keeps water out reliably; nubuck leather sheds rain
  • Durable construction holds up to daily wear over multiple years
Reviewers push back
  • Break-in period of roughly ten miles causes toe-box compression and initial stiffness
  • Waterproof membrane traps heat; breathability is poor
  • Toe box width measures only three and a half inches, limiting splay
Reviewers agree the Renegade GTX Mid is a durable, grippy, waterproof boot with excellent traction that requires break-in and runs warm.
— best for: Backpackers carrying heavy loads who hike in wet conditions and value long-term durability over initial comfort should buy this boot.

One reviewer felt no out-of-box comfort and needed ten miles to break in; another called it comfortable after just a couple miles

I bought my 1st pair of Quest 4D boots back in 2020, and I am still wearing them to this day. (Have them on right now actually) Not sure the mileage on them, but I've worn them ALOT. I was quick to order a 2nd pair in 2021 that I slowly rotated in from time to time. Now, 6 years later, my trusty original pair are starting to show signs of wear where the toe cap is slightly separating from the boot Greg S · backcountry.com

I have put in a hundred miles or so at this point and here are a couple of observations. - There is a break-in period. These boots are stiffer than what I'm used to and took awhile to loosen up. But I can now put in 10-15 miles without comfort issues. - The traction is incredible. I'm very impressed. Snow, loose gravel, slickrock. They excel on all. - So far, snow seems to just fall off the boots Curtis M · backcountry.com
