Does anybody know how the size runs on the Rangers? Approximate weight on size 10 1/2? I had a a few pairs of Meindles that I liked but I bought my "normal" shoe size and they ran a little big so I sold them. Now my only boot is a Salomon 4D in 10 1/2 which I like a lot but want a pair slightly stiffer with more support but don't think I want to go as far as the Tibet.

Thanks!
 
i wear a 12 in danner, nike, pretty much everyshoe i ever wear. i wear a 12 1/2 in my rangers, 12's fit fine except steep down hill, id hit my toe on the front of the toebox. if you wear wides in work boots get wides in the lowas as well.
 
I just tried on both those boots in that very size a couple weeks ago. I would say size is pretty close between the 2, but I didn't think the Ranger was much more stiff. At least I didn't see much difference in them.

I did try on the Lowa Camino, and they were noticeably stiffer, but I went up to an 11 because the toe box was a little narrow in the 10.5.

I went home with the 4Ds.
 
The Rangers run true to size for me (10.5) although I wear an 11 in Tibets.
 
I have a pair and although the fit good and are comfortable I wish I would have ordered 11.5 rather than 11. Go up a half size if anything. Also the wides are nice if need them.
 
I agree, you'd probably want to go up a half size. I have both the Salomon 4D's and the Lowa Rangers and MUCH prefer the Rangers for everything. The sole is MUCH stiffer than the Salomon 4D. If I was going to use these for hunting, I would defineatly "size up"...I will add, I have wore these boots everyday in the winter for the past 4 years for work and when I "grease" them up, they look brand new with no signs of "giving up the ghost" anytime soon. I can't say that for my Solomons even with the limited use they've seen. The Lowas are truely great boots. After years of searching for the perfect mountain boots, I have gravitated toward Lowa. I currently own 6 pair. (2 pair of Lowa Bighorns, Tibets, Rangers, Cevedales and my old trusty Lowa Sheephunters)

I just ordered these in regular and wide. I ordered a 10, I usually wear 9.5 or 10. We'll see if I need to go even bigger.

Anyone know how these size compared to the renegades? I would like to try a 10.5 in the renegades to get an idea of how it might feel in the Ranger, but not sure if this will actually provide a useful comparison.
 
I'm very impressed with the feel and construction of the boot, for what it's worth.

EDIT: went with the size 10. So far I LOVE this boot. Put them through heavy use for 3 days right out of the gate and I couldn't be more impressed. However, I just got them and need to put them through the paces over a full season before providing a real review.
