This is my second pair

"I love boots, but I love the people behind this company even more. I had asked for two BIG favors since I had a defect and had filed for a warranty claim. Not only were they responsive and understanding, but they also went out of their way to make sure that I would be satisfied in the end. Especially for the second request, which I felt guilty for requesting, but did so to make sure that I would be absolutely comfortable in the long run(I'm so sorry for the hassle that I put you guys through). THE U. S. ELITE TEAM IS AMAZING. I cannot stress this enough. If you have any worries about shopping through them, let my words be of assurance. They will not disappoint!"
"These boots are very comfortable out of the box for a heavy duty hiking boot. Well made with a perfect fit. I normally wear an 11. 5 in other brands and these 11. 5 fit great so they are true to size. These are probably the best duty boots I've owned and I've had Danners, Timberland, Salomon, 5. 11, Ecco, Rocky, Adidas, Merrell, LL Bean and Sorel to name a few. These Lowa's are better. Expensive but worth the money. Buy once, cry once and your feet will thank you."
"Very comfortable boots out of the box. Seems well made and sturdy. Went on a 4 mile hike qith 1300+ ft elevation gain, no blisters or discomfort. Perfect boots for going hard-core hiking. Leave the trails behind with these boots and explore"
"Awesome boots"
"Not much boot for the price. Pretty uncomfortable."
"I bought a pair of Lowa Renegade GTX Mid boots when I was in Alaska. I wore them for 4 years nearly every single day, all year, rain or shine for hunting, fishing, ATV riding. The soles are basically unworn. The leather is in slightly worn shape. I decided to spend half a car payment on these new Lowa TF Z-8S GTX C boots because the last pair I bought are still amazing. I just got them today and couldn’t get my Nike combat boots off fast enough. Let me tell you, these boost fit like no other. Plenty of support in the ankle, heel is wide enough so you don’t feel like you’re walking in high heels, comfortable upper and the footbed feels like classic lowa supportive and firm. Bite the bullet and get these boots. If these ever wear out I’m going to get another set. But that won’t be for another 5 years and I’ll be retired by then lol"
"Great boot and quality! Fits great and will buy again. U.S. Elite is a great run company. Fast shipping also."
