Hanwag Ferrata Combi GTX 2008

£15.00

The weight of the Hanwag Ferrata Combi GTX is an immediate attraction as it’s the lightest 4-season boot here. The sole unit is very stiff, making it ideal for mountaineering and use with crampons, as well as via ferrata (as the name suggests). The toe profile also feels very dexterous and ideal for climbing on small footholds. The upper is ...

Regatta Oceanpoint

£20.00

The exceptional low price of this sandal is an obvious attraction, but it offers more than the price suggests. Firstly it has three-point adjustment and the straps have Velcro in place for easy adjustment. The straps are well-padded on the inside, making them very comfortable. Underfoot the footbed is well-cushioned too. We also like the protection the straps give to ...

ALS King Surf

£20.00

This lightweight multi-activity shoe from ALS weighs 592g (pair, size 9). It has a neoprene lining with mesh upper, an elasticated lacing system and a rubber sole that provides good grip. It’s easy to pack and carry as additional footwear and great for watersports. However,  the sole is very flexible and the shoe isn’t waterproof. It’s not ideal for rocky ...

Crocs Captiva 2009

£22.00

Crocs are the benchmark of moulded footwear, and these days they’re commonplace at campsites and in bars. The now classic Cayman is the model most often seen, while the new Captiva shows that Crocs makes other models too. The Captiva is a simple open sandal for women. Its pillowed moulded footbed offers extra comfort without losing support, while plenty of ...

Regatta Crusoe 2009

£25.00

The low price of the Regatta Crusoe is instantly appealing. And you get an awful lot of practical features for your cash. The Crusoe has a good three-point adjustment strap system, with Velcro and neoprene padding. The straps are wide at the forefoot, to provide extra protection. Underfoot there is a good, sturdy footbed that is stiff enough to take ...

Regatta Ad-Splorer 2010

£25.00

The Regatta Ad-Splorer is an extremely low-priced sandal, which is its main benefit. It is completely made from synthetic materials, which makes it ideal for use in wet conditions as it dries very fast. There are three Velcro straps, which allows good adjustment at the heel, ankle and forefoot. The heel strap can be removed to convert this to a ...

Crocs Endeavor

£29.00

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win,” promised Mahatma Gandhi. He could have been talking about Crocs sandals (and how they have now been relentlessly copied). Around the house and garden our tester lives in a pair of these as do many professionals, such as veterinary nurses for example. At just 404g ...

Holey Shoes Explorer

£29.00

This sandal is surprisingly practical; closed cell resin material; protected toe and forefoot; antimicrobial treatment; very cushioned; dries very fast; virtually indestructible; easy to maintain; great for river crossings and lounging; only 290g (size 11). But no underfoot support for rough ground; ugly or stylish… you decide!

Contour Trail Junior

£30.00

This is the lowest-priced kids’ walking boot we looked at, yet it is better than some higher-priced models if you are heading for the hills. It benefits from a waterproof lining which is tucked away behind a conservative upper. The upper is relatively plain and simple, so there is not too much stitching to wear out on rocky terrain. The ...

Peter Storm Coleburn 2011

£30.00

The Peter Storm Coleburn is a very low-priced boot with a low ankle cuff to provide comfort straight from the box. The upper has a waterproof lining to keep feet dry, plus panels of suede to increase durability. Underfoot the lugs are widely spaced to prevent clogging. But there is very little stiffness in the Peter Storm Coleburn’s sole or ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Zephyr

£30.00

This is a synthetic sandal, making it ideal for use in water as the materials will be fast-drying. Also there’s a three-point adjustment on the straps, so you should be able to find a good fit. The straps are synthetic and well-padded, and they also provide good protection to the sides of the feet. Two straps are Velcro but the ...

Montrail Molokai

£30.00

This sandal  has sizes from 2.5 women’s and up to 14 men’s; thermo-mouldable footbed (just put them in the oven for two minutes at 107 deg C and then put them on); well-cushioned . But these are flip-flop style sandals with few straps, so they come off easily; the sole is not as aggressive or as stiff as others.

Teva Hurricane 3

£30.00

These sandals’ synthetic straps are fast-drying; very durable design due to continuous strap that wraps around food and sole unit; two-point Velcro adjustment; sticky rubber sole designed for wet environments. But shallow lug pattern on sole; very bendy sole; lack of protection for the feet; no padding under straps.

Hi-Tec Altitude Lite IV WP JR

£30.00

The Hi-Tec Altitude Lite IV WP JR children’s boot is an excellent price for what you get. There is a conventional upper with reasonable stiffness in the sole and toe box for protection and support on irregular terrain. Underfoot there is a good cushioning plus a very grippy pattern of lugs for the mud. But the stiffness in the sole ...

Karrimor Aruba 2010

£30.00

The Karrimor Aruba costs a fiver less than last year, when it was already an excellent-value product, so now it is hard to beat on price. It is a synthetic sandal, so it is fast-drying and potentially ideal for more active users who will use it for river crossings when trekking for example. The straps have Velcro adjustment at the ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Sirocco

£30.00

This sandal makes use of a synthetic upper which is fast-drying, so this would be ideal for river crossings and generally getting damp around a campsite. It does not have a conventional strap system: instead it has a drawcorded and elasticated panel that pulls the top of the foot into the heel. This is a very comfortable design that is ...

Hi-Tec Altitude II

£30.00

These sandals from Hi-Tec are not as comfortable as some at first, but some tweaking soon ensures a good fit with plenty of support. The neoprene-lined straps feel very comfortable next to your skin, and the soft microfibre footbeds are great. Great to walk in, offering plenty of support and good traction. The footbeds hold your feet still, even when ...

Aigle Rice Kid Mid

£32.00

This children’s walking boot is lightweight; good-looking; lower cut than most boots; reinforcement at toe and heel for durability; excellent stiffness in the sole; very breathble tongue area.

The North Face El Porto Convertible

£35.00

This is a great sandal for water sports and general use. The straps are synthetic, so they are fast-drying. There are three Velcro strips to allow secure adjustment, and all the straps are lined with neoprene. The straps around the toes are quite wide, so they don’t dig in and also they add a little protection to the sides of ...

Keen Targhee

The Keen Targhee is a low-cut children’s shoe with a very breathable upper, making this ideal for summer walks. The rubber toe bumper is ideal for extra protection and the heel cup offers good support. Better still the wide forefoot is ideal for broader feet. But as this is a low-cut shoe rather than a boot it more easily allows ...

The Karrimor Aruba is a good, robust sandal. The sole unit is well-padded to provide a comfortable ride on hard or rocky surfaces. There is a good outsole lug pattern that will bite into grassy campsites and muddy ground to allow you to keep moving. Some reasonable stiffness in the sole takes the worst of the strain out of uneven ...

Available in boys’ and girls’ colours, the Peter Storm Harrison offers reasonable protection for the foot with a waterproof lining. There is some reasonable stiffness underfoot too.
