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 ...

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 ...

Scarpa Manta 2010

£220.00

If there is one product that defines the 4-season walking boot it is the Scarpa Manta. The Manta remains the same this year as in 2009. The upper is one-piece leather so there is no stitching to break down with hard use. There is a rubber rand around the whole boot for durability year on year. There is a little ...

Asolo Flame GTX

£150.00

Excellent for high mountain use with a high and stiff ankle cuff that offers plenty of support and hefty protection at the toe and heel. The midsole is great for uneven, hard ground but perhaps a little too stiff for easier going, and the outsole provided good traction on most surfaces. The lacing is excellent, so easy to get just ...

Scarpa Manta 2009

£220.00

Last year the Scarpa Manta 4-season boot had the GSB crampon system, but sadly the system has not become popular enough to warrant its continuity, so on the Manta it is now a feature that can be logged as that great idea that got away! The remainder of the Manta is classic performance-orientated design though. The boot sits lower to ...

Scarpa New SL 2009

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years. It is a classic design that is ideal for British conditions with a one-piece leather upper that is virtually free of stitching to fail, and its 2.8mm thickness means it is very water-resistant. Treat this material regularly with proofing products and it will last a lifetime and ...

Scarpa Trek 2009

£150.00

This is the classic Scarpa Trek with a modern twist of style and function. Firstly you get a classic quality leather upper with minimal stitching so there is little chance of leakage. Inside there is a sumptuous leather lining that gives the boot a wonderful feel on the fit, straight from the box. The upper is nice and stiff, so ...

Meindl Burma Pro MFS 2009

£175.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS is a modern classic that changed the marketplace when it arrived on the scene many years ago. It has been a frequent winner of 3-season boot tests in Trail. Its success has been due to a mix of features that are all dedicated to performance on the hill. So you get a good leather upper, ...

BRASHER ASO GTX

£150.00

Review: Broad, roomy boots, ideal for wide or voluminous feet, and the lacing is excellent. They are well-padded, too, so the right shaped feet will get a very comfy ride. The deep cleats gripped well on mud and snow, but away from snow and ice the boots are a bit heavy and clumsy. With a crampon, they felt secure and ...

Vasque M-Possible 2009

£200.00

On first seeing these new M-Possible boots from Vasque I was struck by the integral gaiters, but on picking them up I got a bigger shock. Hidden by the gaiter fabric, instead of the laces I had expected to see, was a dial and a web of fine wires. This unlikely-looking set-up is the BOA closure system – popular with ...

Meindl Vakuum GTX

£150.00

This is a new 3-season boot from Meindl, and for our money it just about has the edge over the Meindl Burma Pro, even though it is a tenner more expensive. Firstly it’s a notch lighter in weight. I also like that full rubber rand, which provides extra protection when scrambling over rocks. The ankle cuff is a little softer ...

Meindl Vakuum GTX

£150.00

Fully lined with Meindl’s Memory Foam System (MFS), Meindl’s Vakuum GTX boots are soft and comfy to pull on. They are a little too roomy at the toe though, making them feel clumsy, and it is hard to get a stable fit without lacing them very tightly. These are rugged boots that excel high up the mountain. They handle a ...

Scarpa SL

£155.00

With so much padding, the Scarpa SL feels extremely comfy at first and this will convince a lot of people, but the standard fitting could prove a little too narrow for some feet. There is a wider option though. The low-cut, flexible ankle suits ordinary walking, but it lacked support on steeper slopes with a crampon. No waterproof lining, but ...

Scarpa Charmoz GTX

£180.00

Via ferrata and tough mountain scrambles can be a mixed bag of challenges and terrain, so finding the right climbing boot is not easy or obvious. For my money the Scarpa Charmoz provides just about the right balance to cover the widest range of terrain, from boggy approach through technical rock and onto snow and ice. Most importantly of all, ...

La Sportiva Trango S Evo

£160.00

The type of terrain you plan on tackling dictates your climbing boot requirement, so if you are heading for slightly less rugged terrain and don’t need the optimum climbing performance then the La Sportiva S Evo is the perfect boot. It has a Vibram sole with a smooth climbing zone under the toe so you don’t slip off the smallest ...

Raichle Mt Peak XT

£170.00

A frequent Trail favourite 3-4 season boot, the Mount Peak XT now gets a full rubber rand, to make it even better for the winter walker than a year ago. The boot is based around a quality leather upper that is not one-piece, but it has minimal stitching. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining too. The double tongue of last ...

Raichle 60 Degree

£170.00

This 4-season boot is well-padded throughout the inside and a rubber rand around the whole boot adds protection on the outside that is ideal for mountaineering. I also like the higher ankle cuff that adds a touch more support for steeper terrain. The outsole is exceptionally aggressive which again is ideal for mountaineering and extensive winter use. On the foot ...

La Sportiva Glacier Evo GTX

£170.00

With this 4-season boot, a one-piece leather upper provides the primary barrier against the mountain environment, so there is no stitching to fray and little chance of water getting in. You get a Gore-Tex waterproof lining to guarantee dry feet though and a rubber rand around the toe to guarantee durability. A solid toe box provides vital protection while the ...

Asolo Peak GTX

With this 4-season boot you get a thick leather opper and a Gore-Tex waterproof lining plus a rubber rand which all adds up to a very durable design. The ankle cuff is a notch lower than most and it also gets an articulated design which all adds up to good ankle flex when walking. You get a double tongue design ...

Scarpa New Manta

£165.00

Trail’s favourite 4-season boot for many years, last year this gained an articulated ankle cuff. In use this means the ankle cuff is so much more comfortable than before when walking. The ankle cuff is slightly lower than many winter boots to allow a more natural walking action. The rest of the boot is classic Manta with a one-piece leather ...

AKU Edge

£160.00

This is a great 4-season boot if you like a little more dexterity, lower weight and a more natural walking action. The boot benefits from a cleanly designed upper with a nice big rand to maintain durability on rock. The lacing also extends to the toe for a close precise fit. The ankle cuff is quite low and the sole ...
