Helly Hansen Trail Cutter

£50.00

This is a very lightweight trail-running shoe that offers unique performance. In particular you get a very breathable upper, but one that’s able to fend off the worst of the water. We also like the extra abrasion-resistant reinforcement around the lower sides and toe to protect the shoe in undergrowth or on scree. The shoe has a very low profile ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Radar Event

£60.00

This multi-activity shoe comes at a superb price for what you’re getting. The V-Lite Radar eVent is very light and yet it boasts the key features that anyone heading outdoors might find useful. Firstly it has a waterproof upper, thanks to its eVent lining. The toe box is very stiff, so it will provide good protection on rocky ground. Underfoot ...

Teva Karnali Wraptor

£65.00

The Teva Wraptor has been a regular winner of Trail’s sandal reviews over the years as it’s the most functional sandal on the planet by a huge margin. This latest incarnation has a toe protector and a new sole unit that allows water to escape through a system of drainage holes. The straps have changed a little and now offer ...

Inov8 Roclite 318 XCR

£80.00

Inov8 multi-activity shoes were originally designed for trail- and fell-running, but they have been widely adopted for less strenuous use, with many people wearing them all day. Travellers and ‘fast and light’ hill-walkers will love them too. This is a Gore-Tex XCR-lined waterproof version, so it will keep your feet drier than most. The upper is made from mesh too, ...

Salomon Extend Low XCR

£80.00

These multi-activity shoes from Salomon are quite roomy, both in volume and width, which combined with substantial padding, makes them very comfortable from the off. The shock-absorbing footbed enhances the comfort. They’re warm in action, though, probably due to the fairly sparse use of fabric in the upper. A medium-stiff midsole makes them easy to walk in, but takes the ...

Karrimor KSB Peak II Event

£80.00

Broad at the toe, yet narrow at the heel, the KSBs have a fairly distinctive fit. They’re reasonably well padded, feeling good from the word go, yet not too hot in milder conditions. The boots have a moderately stiff midsole, well-suited to all-round walking, and they’re reasonably light, so won’t feel clumsy on easier paths. An eVENT membrane provides the ...

Salomon XA Pro 3D XCR

£85.00

This trail-running shoe is a Gore-Tex-lined version of the well-established Salomon XA Pro, which means it is waterproof, unlike others which have mesh uppers instead. It is very lightweight too and it benefits from an easy-to-lock lacing system, which can be tucked away to keep stray knot loops from snagging on passing branches. The upper has lots of reinforcement at ...

£90.00

These fabric boots from Raichle are really comfortable from the off, with a medium-high ankle cuff and plenty of padding where it’s needed. Slightly wider than some, they allow you to really crank up the laces for a super-stable fit, with no heel-rubbing on the climbs and no toe-banging on the descents. Plenty of toe and heel protection too. They ...

Brasher Towa GTX

A generous fit and the tricky lacing system makes it difficult to get a really snug fit. They are still comfortable, though, with excellent ankle support and nice soft cuffs.

Scarpa ZG40

£120.00

These three-season leather boots from Scarpa, although slightly narrow, are well padded and lightweight and reasonably comfortable from the box. The laces pass through leather eyelets, which grip well and therefore help maintain the correct tension across the foot throughout your journey. The narrow fit might stop you tightening them quite as much as you’d like, but they still hold ...

Scarpa Infinity

£120.00

Well-placed padding make these feel superb when you first pull them on, but they’re quite narrow and difficult to lace tightly, resulting in painful toe banging on descent. A good medium-stiff midsole and nice high cuff should have made them very stable, but the fabric panel directly above the ankle bone is a little too soft and doesn’t offer the ...

The Asolo Flame has been around for a while, and it is a popular boot. It is reasonably lightweight, while its stylish fabric upper is certainly more interesting than a brown leather boot.
