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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Berghaus Kibo 2012

£200.00

The Berghaus Kibo has held its price below the competition for a while now, and even this year it is only a tenner up on 2010 while most boots are £15 or £20 higher in price. So in terms of cost it is a winner. The boot itself has an upper based on a mix of fabrics and there is ...

Meindl Himalaya MFS 2011

£230.00

The Meindl Himalaya has been around for a few years now, and it has always offered excellent performance for really tough mountain days when you are up against scree and snow for long periods. The upper is leather with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, but to further protect the foot you also get a full rubber rand to ensure this is ...

Zamberlan Baltoro 2011

£170.00

A winner of past Trail ‘Best Value’ accolades, the Zamberlan Baltoro remains an excellent choice for hillwalking throughout the year. The instant appeal is that slightly lower price tag than some of the opposition, and you are still getting a very good package of features. So there is a good-quality leather upper that offers stiff protection for the foot, as ...

Trezeta Top Evo 2011

£175.00

Over recent years Trezeta has produced a great range of excellent-value boots, and the Top Evo follows this trend. The price is remarkably good considering what you are getting. This is a boot with a full leather upper, a waterproof lining and a full rubber rand. There’s also a natural ventilation system that allows air to escape through a grille ...

Mammut MT Crest GTX

£160.00

These have the look and feel of a much more technical, higher-end style of boot. There is a high ankle cuff that provides cushioning and support, coupled with a thick nubuck leather upper. The heel section is nicely reinforced too, and provides good hold for your ankles. The inside of the ankle cuff is lined with leather and, with its ...

Lowa Stirling GTX

£180.00

The Lowa feels like a big ‘proper’ boot when on. It’s stiff and heavy – perhaps a little too heavy for some – but support is good, with a high-reaching ankle cuff for protection. Inside, there is a good amount of room in the toebox, with plenty of space to wiggle toes, yet without too much space around the midfoot ...

La Sportiva Trango Guide GTX 2011

£200.00

At first glance you’d think the La Sportiva Trango Guide GTXs were technical boots, ideal for balancing on small holds or jamming in cracks when scrambling. Pick them up, however, and their light weight suggests walking. Though light weight and technical features aren’t mutually exclusive, climbing boots generally tend to be a bit stiffer and heavier. So, if a boot ...

Lowa Khumbu TC GTX

£170.00

Narrow sizing make these a great choice for women with low-volume feet. The ankle cuff is medium height, providing enough support for a fair degree of uneven terrain, with the added benefit of not feeling too hot in warm weather. The lacing system is good, allowing a secure fit across the foot. They’re lovely to walk in, with a nice ...

Alt-Berg Tethera 2011

£160.00

The Alt-Berg Tethera is very much a traditional hill-walking boot. The upper is built from one piece of leather, so there is no stitching to fray over time. Behind the upper is a Sympatex waterproof lining, so dry feet are virtually guaranteed even if you don’t treat the leather well. Further durability comes from the rubber rand, which extends around ...

Meindl Kansas GTX 2011

£150.00

The Meindl Kansas GTX was new for 2010 and it still looks pretty good today. The boot has a leather upper that is virtually stitch-free, so durability should be pretty good even on rocky ground. A rubber rand around the toe and forefoot adds a little extra protection for rockier ground too. The upper offers good support for the foot, ...

Boreal Zanskar 2011

£160.00

The Boreal Zanskar is an extremely robust boot that is well-designed for tackling the roughest of rocky mountain terrain, day after day. It has a leather upper, which itself is pretty durable as there is so little stitching. But what really sets it up for a long life in the hills is the full rubber rand, which is very high ...

La Sportiva Granda Guide 2011

£170.00

Okay, nobody expects to climb hard routes in the footwear they use to get to the base of a crag. The flexibility of walking footwear can’t handle tiny holds or friction smears. However at the easier end of the climbing scale, on scrambles and via ferrata routes where holds are much bigger, there is room for footwear that can successfully ...

Zamberlan Tofane GT 2011

£280.00

Norwegian welt stitched boot construction was commonplace until the 1980s. Such boots were heavy and required breaking in, but they would last a lifetime. Since then lighter boots with bonded construction have taken over. So why is Zamberlan now reintroducing welt stitched construction on the new Tofane GT?According to Zamberlan the Tofane’s Norwegian welted construction ensures retention of the boot ...

Hanwag Quantum GTX 2010

£240.00

The Hanwag Quantum GTX is relatively lightweight for a 4-season boot, yet it benefits from an impressive set of features. The upper is leather with Cordura, and there is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining inside that has Duratherm insulation. This package of materials means the upper is relatively light and durable and should keep your feet warm in colder winter conditions ...

Garmont Pinnacle 2010

£200.00

The Garmont Pinnacle was £200 back in 2008, when alternatives such as the Scarpa Manta were £185 and the Meindl Matterhorn was £199. The fact that the Pinnacle is still £200 just shows what excellent value it is now, although perhaps it was overpriced back in 2008! Either way it is a great boot that is ideal for the British ...

Asolo Alpinist GTX 2010

The Asolo Alpinist GTX as the name suggests is a boot that would be ideal for a mix of mountaineering, glacier travel and walking on snow-covered mountains. It has a synthetic and leather upper with a big rubber rand at the forefoot and heel for extra durability. The lacing extends further towards the toe than most boots so you can ...

Mammut Monolith GTX 2010

£195.00

The Mammut Monolith appeared in 2009, and for 2010 it gets a slightly better sole unit for walking and general mountaineering in snow and ice. The new sole has deeper lugs and a more pronounced heel breast, which results in better grip. There is still a smooth climbing zone around the toe, and although the boot is about 100g heavier ...

The Berghaus Kibo is a great-value boot that is holding its price well again this year. The upper is a mix of leather and synthetic materials that protects a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. A rubber rand extends around the whole boot to ensure durability. The upper is very stiff so you can crank down crampon straps as well as protect the ...

Millet Bouthan/Sikkim 2010

The Bouthan/Sikkim is a superb mountain boot from Millet. It is built around an almost one-piece leather upper, with just a small additional panel down the sides of the tongue. So this is incredibly durable, as there is so little stitching. There is also a Gore-Tex lining for waterproof protection and a full rubber rand to add further durability. Inside ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV 2010

The Asolo Powermatic 500 GV was competitively priced in 2009 at £160 and it easily took the ‘Best Value’ award. However for 2010 the price has jumped by £40, but the features stay the same. You get a one-piece leather upper with a waterproof lining, so even if you don’t look after the upper properly you have a good chance ...

Garmont Tower GTX 2010

The Garmont Tower GTX is a very modern Alpine-style boot that bridges the gap between walking and climbing boots extremely well. So you get a relatively lightweight upper made from synthetic materials, some leather and a waterproof lining. The upper has a very precise toe fit thanks to the lacing extending to the toe plus an excellent profile for scrambling, ...
