Hi-Tec V-Lite Buxton Mid WP (2012)

£75.00

This is a sub-£100 boot built for paths and trails, and best-suited to lower-level walking away from rocky mountain tops. The medium-soft sole provides reasonable amounts of support and cushioning, giving good padding on harder terrain such as roads and stone paths. The uppers are very soft, making breaking-in easy. Grip-wise, their reasonably wide-spaced lugs give some traction, although they ...

Columbia Talus Ridge Mid (2012)

£130.00

These feel more like a high-ankled running shoe than a walking boot. They are incredibly light, with great cushioning underfoot, but they lack much protection in and around the upper section. For a walker, the design makes them a great option for warmer days on easier ground – the lack of solid toe protection in particular can be a bit ...

Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex (2012)

£110.00

These are more like a mid-cut version of a multi-activity shoe than a traditional boot. This means they lack the protection and support of a sturdier model. Of course, in return they do offer great comfort levels, with the combination of a soft sole unit and flexible mesh and mixed-material uppers providing great comfort right out of the box. Although ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX (2012)

£100.00

This is a great boot for lower-level walking, offering great comfort levels. The sole unit is fairly soft, and so works well on less challenging terrain. The middling levels of ankle support also make for good comfort levels, but it’s not so great on rougher terrain, especially with the softer upper construction. The fit is fairly relaxed and best-suited to ...

Keen Siskiyou Mid WP (2012)

£85.00

Here’s another in the breed of lightweight, flexible mid-height boots that have more in common with multi-activity shoes than traditional stiff and heavy walking boots. As a result, they’re at their best when used in a range of low-level terrain, without too many challenging features to get in the way. Grip levels are good for drier conditions and some mud, ...

Hi-Tec Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi 2011

£100.00

Forgoing a waterproof liner, with the Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi, Hi-Tec instead use an Ion-Mask plasma treatment that makes the fabric repel water. This is a good addition to a leather boot especially as this version features more stitching (potential leak points) than it did when Trail tested it in 2010. The ankle cuff is a good height, being not ...

Jack Wolfskin Crosshike Mid Texapore 2011

£100.00

The first thing I noticed with the Jack Wolfskin Crosshike Mid Texapore was how padded and comfortable it felt when I first put it on – it was like wearing a pair of slippers! The laces are held in place over your foot with fabric lace loops, which helps prevent them digging in at any pressure points; and though the ...

Regatta Alpha Pro VXT 2011

£95.00

Regatta’s new boot for 2011 – the Alpha Pro VXT – marks the first time the brand has used Vibram soles – and they’ve certainly chosen to shout about it with bright yellow panels splashed throughout the rubber. Colour aside, the lugs are suitably deep and widely spaced to give good grip on muddy ground, though the heel breast is ...

Zamberlan Ultra Lite GT

£150.00

These have a look of quality about them. Or maybe it’s the opulent looking brass-coloured lace loops. Actually the leather used is thick and of a good quality and there is a quality rand surrounding the whole shoe that protects the expensive leather from scrapes. The boot uses quite a snug-fitting last, so this is more likely to be suited ...

Anatom Q2

£150.00

Anatom are relatively new to the world of boot-making, and better known for their footbeds, but this is a noble effort at a midrange walking boot which has great heel hold and an even amount of space through the middle of the boot without being too cavernous at the front. It also comes with a lambswool footbed for added cushioning, ...

Scarpa Ranger GTX

£140.00

These are a classic walking boot, with as little stitching as possible to affect the leather’s natural water repellency. There are only a couple of stitched sections towards the rear of the boot, leaving the front clear of any weak spots. The leather itself feels nice and thick, giving plenty of support all over and good protection for feet. There ...

Trezeta Helvellyn

£100.00

Named after England’s third highest mountain, and they’re probably ideally suited to climbing its well-trodden rocky paths. The minimally stitched full-grain leather upper reduces the chances of them springing a leak. One notable exception to that is on the tongue bellows, where fabric has been used, probably to keep the price down. The use of speedlace hooks makes it much ...

Berghaus Explorer Ridge

£125.00

This is more of a two-season boot and as a result is a bit softer than many of the others on test. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, and straight out of the box, the softer flex and ample inside padding make them incredibly comfortable. They sit quite low down and so offer a good amount of feedback from the ...

Brasher Hillwalker

£105.00

The Hillwalkers have a fit well-suited to those with larger volume feet. The design is also classic walking boot, with lots of unstitched leather on the uppers. Shock absorption is great, with plenty of bounce in the sole which really helps when walking on stony ground and stretches of road. The grip from the sole is good enough and provides ...

Scarpa Mystic GTX

£120.00

Definitely one of the better looking shoes on test, the Mystic could easily pass as a casual shoe. It has been designed as more of an approach shoe, for climbers to access rocky routes, which means it has a fairly stiff sole unit, great grip on rock and a slightly asymmetrical pointy shape. They have been used abseiling and worked ...

La Sportiva Wizard

£75.00

Arguably the best looking shoe out there, the Wizard is something that would definitely double-up for more casual wear without looking too technical. In use on stony paths, flagstone and exposed rocky sections there is an excellent amount of grip emanating from the Frixion sole – even on wet rock. As they have been designed as an approach shoe, they ...

Keen Alamosa

£85.00

The Alamosa is a real all-rounder of a shoe, with a medium stiffness in the sole that allows for cycling and other sports as well as giving you the ability to move quickly and lightly through the countryside. Although the uppers aren’t particularly rigid, with mesh panels, the Keen Protect system at the front really helps to protect your toes. ...

Berghaus Prognosis

£75.00

New for 2011 these shoes have been designed with multi-function use in mind. As such they are something of a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. Inside there is plenty of room – around the heel and mid-shoe in particular – so better for those with wider feet. These do not have a Gore-Tex lining to them, so in wet ...

Merrell Pantheon XCR

£87.00

The relatively soft sole, coupled with the all-fabric upper, immediately give these the characteristics of a trainer, albeit a slightly rugged one. They feel light and airy and so are great for a walk on a warmer day. However, that softness does tend to become a bit of a problem on any terrain apart from generally sturdy and level ground. ...

Trezetta Chinook Low

£75.00

These are fairly heavy shoes that are only available in a unisex fit. However, the fit feels nice and secure and they’re pretty comfortable from the box, although watch out for the high ankle cuff, which may dig in a little at first. They’ve got a stiff midsole that will provide support on uneven terrain, and a Vibram sole that ...

Helly Hansen Trackfinder

£70.00

TheTrackfinders are very lightweight shoes that look and feel more like a stiff trainer than a multi-activity shoe. There’s a decent amount of lateral stiffness in the midsole, but a very flexible toe restricts them to use on flat trails only. They’re distinct from other women’s shoes as they don’t have a waterproof lining. This doesn’t mean you should dismiss ...

The new Light Hiking range places the Mercury as its flagship product, thanks to its incredibly low weight coupled with springy underfoot cushioning and a striking design.

Berghaus Pro Rush Mid II GTX

£130.00

The Pro Rush is a mid-cut boot with a low profile, making it suitable for a wider range of activities. The lower ankle shape means that they offer less support, but on the plus side you will be able to wear them on a day-to-day basis. The external heel support provides better than anticipated support for a boot of this ...

Contour Trail

£90.00

The first thing you notice when slipping this budget brand boot on, is the degree of padding all around the foot. The ankle has particularly good amounts, although that soon packs down and forms around your ankle. Comfort is also aided by the softness of the upper material in general. Perfectly suited to lower level walking, the sole unit is ...

Brasher Lithium GTX

£120.00

A true lightweight, spring-orientated boot with full-fabric upper construction that gives them straight-from-the-box comfort. In an effort to strengthen the upper, Brasher have used plastic ‘Tri-Fit’ reinforcing strips (the upside-down V shapes you can see in the photo). These do offer some strengthening although the upper fabric remains quite soft, and coupled with the wide mid-foot volume, it makes these ...
