Lowa Khumbu TC GTX (2012)

£170.00

The Lowa is a more rugged kind of boot than some of the multi-activity styles. It has a stiff sole unit that provides support on rougher terrain and a tough toe rand and heel counter to protect feet against wayward rocks and encounters with fence-posts. This stiffness is counteracted by the soft, mixed-material construction of the uppers, which makes the ...

Meindl Softline Ultra GTX (2012)

£150.00

These have the feel of a serious boot, with a stiff chassis underfoot that provides stability and support, particularly over rougher ground. This becomes useful on longer walks too, because feet don’t tire as quickly as with softer-flexing boots. There is a decent enough ‘rocker’ in the sole that provides a pleasant walking action on harder ground. Although made from ...

Zamberlan 540w Rise GT (2012)

£150.00

A tough and sturdy boot and as a consequence, heavy. It doesn’t feel cumbersome, though, thanks to a great fit – with a narrow heel and wide forefoot – and a nice rolling action that seems to spur you forward. They’re well padded, which makes them feel very comfortable and supportive, but quite warm, too. An excellent lacing system spreads ...

Salomon Quest 4D GTX (2012)

£150.00

The Quest 4D is a great-looking boot, with split-suede and mesh uppers and decent rubber bumpers at the toe and heel to keep them looking fresh. The narrow heel and comparatively wide forefoot gives them an incredibly secure feel, and this, coupled with an excellent lacing system and two offset locking eyelets, means your feet stay comfortably in place, even ...

AKU SL Trek GTX (2012)

£200.00

AKU has come up with some great scrambling boots in its time (the Croda being a particular favourite of mine), and this tradition has clearly continued with the recently developed SL Trek GTX. The level of sensitivity and support they deliver perfectly matches what is required to confidently tackle challenging and technical scrambles. With these on your feet you can ...

Garmont Vetta Mnt GTX (2012)

£190.00

Garmont has done a great job with the Garmont Vetta Mnt GTX boot. In one package it has managed to pack in all the key scrambling features and yet still give a great level of walking comfort. What’s best though is that it manages to do this all for under £200. You wouldn’t really be able to stick a pair ...

Mammut Mt Centry GTX (2012)

£180.00

Outwardly Mammut Mt Centry GTX scrambling boots have a strong walking pedigree with a good rolling flex, plenty of comfortable padding and quick-lacing hooks; but lurking beneath their soft Labrador exterior is a hyperactive Border Collie just dying to scamper up some rocks. The tell-tale signs of this dual personality are fairly well-disguised, and come in the form of a ...

Zamberlan Monster GTX (2012)

£200.00

In the UK Zamberlan is best known for its tried and trusted range of fellwalking boots. Quality and comfort have been the company’s hallmark, so it was interesting to get hold of its first pair of scrambling boots over here to see how they shaped up. The minute you get the Zamberlan Monster GTXs out of the box it is ...

La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX (2012)

£235.00

La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTXs are at the top end of the scrambling boot range both in terms of capabilities and cost. In truth they are very lightweight mountaineering boots, but despite this they fully deserve their place in this review. This is because scrambling is such a diverse branch of mountain sport, and at the higher grades it ...
