Peter Storm Skiddaw II

£65.00

Very soft, full-grain leather boots that will only really suit women with wide feet as they are very wide across the toes. They’ve got a soft yet supportive ankle cuff, and although the tongue may feel harsh at first, it soon softens with wear. Disappointingly, the lacing system is a bit fiddly, making it difficult to get enough tension across ...

Regatta Apocalypse Mid

£70.00

Generous sizing and very soft uppers make the Apocalypse Mid feel comfortable straight from the box, albeit rather like a pair of loose slippers. They’re unique in this selection because the uppers are made from a soft shell fabric. Coupled with a waterproof lining, this helps them stay waterproof, but also makes them feel rather lacking in support. The fairly ...

Columbia Shastalavista 2011

£75.00

The Columbia Shastalavista weighs 984g (pair, size 11); mesh upper for exceptional breathability; great sole unit with good lugs for mud; good cushioning; good stiffness for general walking; good for dry travel. But no waterproof lining; not the best shoe for running as a little too ‘clumpy’; mesh upper not so durable for rockier ground.

Helly Hansen Trackfinder 2011

£71.00

The Helly Hansen Trackfinder weighs 828g (pair, size 11); extremely breathable mesh upper; sole has good, deep lugs for grip in mud; good stiffness in sole for paths; good cushioning. But toe box offers very little protection; no waterproof lining limits use of shoe; once water enters it cannot easily escape as no drainage ports near base of sides.

Teva Churn 2011

£67.00

The Teva Churn weighs 584g (pair, size 9); mesh upper and drainage holes allow water out easily; very low-profile, stable platform; well-cushioned; fold-down heel converts shoe to a slide-on shoe; perfect for use in watersports. But away from water has very limited use; sole lugs very shallow so only good in water; upper allows water in easily.

Rohan Lapka Tech 2011

£125.00

The Rohan Lapka Tech weighs 1416g (pair, size 11); synthetic and suede upper; Barricade waterproof lining; very aggressive Vibram outsole lug pattern for mud; good sole stiffness for rocky ground; solid toe box for protection. But boots with less mesh and stitching will be more durable; this is the Brasher Lithium rebranded, so it may suffer from the same durability ...

Anatom V3 2011

£110.00

The Anatom V3 weighs 1524g (pair, size 11); suede leather and synthetic upper; Tri.aria waterproof lining; Vibram sole unit with good, deep lugs for grip and wide spacing to prevent clogging. But sole unit is surprisingly bendy, limiting performance on rockier ground; boots with less stitching may be more durable; lambswool footbed is not as comfy as standard footbeds; toe ...

Timberland Belknap Mid F/L GTX 2011

£95.00

The Timberland Belknap Mid F/L GTX weighs 1160g (pair, size 11); up to size 14; synthetic upper with Gore-Tex waterproof lining; leather overlays for durability; firm toe box protects feet on rockier ground; reasonably deep lugs for a good grip in mud. But very soft sole flex detracts from performance on rockier ground; upper is quite soft and may not ...

Hawkshead Lady Amisk

£65.00

A high ankle cuff and rather sloppy fit makes these shoes feel a bit like an outdoor slipper. They are let down by the lack of support offered by the really soft midsole and very squashy suede and mesh uppers. The lacing system is a little awkward, and the bulky tongue means it’s quite hard to achieve a secure fit. ...

Lowa Stirling GTX 2009

£165.00

The Lowa Stirling GTX has been available for a number of years and it’s often reviewed in Trail as a 3-season boot. However, like the Mammut Mount Trail XT, it has now been submitted by the manufacturer for inclusion in the 3-4 season category. It is made using a full leather upper with minimal stitching to increase durability, and there ...

Mammut Mount Trail XT 2009

£160.00

The Mammut (formerly Raichle) Mount Trail XT has been a frequent favourite of Trail’s when provided by the manufacturer as a 3-season boot, and it was ‘Best in Test’ in May 2009. However it has now been submitted by the manufacturer for inclusion in the 3-4 season category. The boot features a solidly built leather upper that is not one ...

Trezeta Chinook Low

£85.00

A rather broad fit and also quite short so be prepared to go up a size. Quite heavy, with a tough Vibram sole that provides good shock absorption and grip. Out in the hills they performed well, keeping out water even in really wet grass, although they felt a bit hot and sweaty at times. The midsole is really stiff ...

Merrell Siren Ventilator Waterproof MID

£80.00

An incredibly soft, lightweight and comfortable boot that is really a mid-height multi-activity shoe. They flex easily and breathe exceptionally well, making them a good choice for casual summer walking. They’ll keep out water, too. A good lacing system ensures a snug enough fit, and the moulded heels help keep feet comfortably in place. The very low ankles don’t provide ...

AKU Ultra Light GTX

£145.00

A surprisingly narrow and unforgiving fit that will only suit women with narrow feet. They’re lightweight, though, with a soft, medium-high ankle cuff. The Gore-Tex lining will keep your feet dry, and the suede and mesh uppers are very breathable. But the very lightweight sole and narrow heel don’t provide much shock absorption, which doesn’t inspire confidence on rough terrain, ...

Grisport Ascent

£57.50

The Ascents are soft and comfortable unisex boots that will especially suit walkers with wide feet. They’re best-suited to low-level terrain, as the soft uppers and flexible midsole don’t provide much support. However, they have a a chunky sole that grips well, especially on rock, and the heel and toe are reinforced to protect from knocks. They’re very lightweight, and ...

Hi-Tec Lite Fast Hike II MID WP

£60.00

A bit of a hybrid between a multi-activity shoe and a full-on walking boot, but much closer to the boot end of the spectrum than it is the shoe, with a semi-stiff midsole and some good protection for the toe. The fit’s quite roomy, and with only two speed-lacing eyelets each side of the cuff, it’s not so easy to ...

Regatta Rockfold Mid X-LT

£60.00

The Rockfold is really a high shoe rather than a full-on boot and very much aimed at the more casual walker, with minimal midsole support and a shallow tread pattern that will only really perform on good surfaces. In its favour, it’s superbly comfortable, thanks to a broad, boxy fit and a substantial amount of padding, and the waterproof lining ...

Technicals Nimbus 2009

The Technicals Nimbus multi-activity shoe weighs 884g (pair, size 11); mesh upper for maximum breathability; stiffened toe box; reinforcement around shoe for more durability. But no waterproof lining; outsole lug pattern is very shallow and easily clogged so not ideal for grip in mud; very bendy sole unit offers minimal support.

But sole flex is not as smooth as higher-priced options; no waterproof lining; mesh extends low on sides so wet feet highly likely. ...

Merrell Chameleon Arc Mid 2009

The Merrell Chameleon Arc Mid weighs 952g (pair, size 5); waterproof lining; rubber toe bumper; Vibram outsole with reasonable stiffness. But it’s a mid-cut boot so not as protective as those with higher ankle cuff; outsole lugs not as good as some others for grip as no heel breast; upper not as durable as those with less stitching; upper not ...

The North Face Dhaulagiri GTX weighs 1548g (pair, size 11); suede leather upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; good cushioning underfoot; Vibram sole unit; good boot for easier terrain. But minimal stiffness in sole and toe box so not as impressive as hyped-up appearance suggests; pricy; sole lugs not as aggressive as some others.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Altitude Ultra Ion-Mask 2009

£90.00

Until recently a walking boot would be made waterproof either by fitting a waterproof lining on the inside or by regularly treating the outside. But are these the most eco-friendly or most efficient waterproof treatments available? According to Hi-Tec, its new Ion-Mask treatment creates less of an environmental impact and does not require repeated application. Better still, it does not ...

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 ...
