Falke TK2 (2013)

£15.00

‘Engineered’ isn’t a word you’d readily associate with socks, but then the Falke TK2s are German. Made of a highly wicking, quick-drying combination of fabrics – featuring 22 per cent wool and integrated silver elements to reduce odour – the TK2 is a thinner sock than many, but it’s warm without being clammy and it’s impressively durable, especially for the ...

Scarpa Vortex (2013)

£120.00

The Scarpa Vortex is a shoe with a more aggressive sole unit than most, which gives it instant appeal to those who need something with good grip for walking over muddier ground. A Vibram sole unit provides that extra grip, thanks to a set of lugs that are deeper than others, coupled with a respectably large heel breast for good ...

Salomon X Ultra GTX (2013)

£110.00

Looks are deceptive, as the Salomon X Ultra GTX is far lighter than it appears at first sight and it actually tips the scales at 912g (pair, size 11), which makes it one of the lightest mountain activity shoes we looked at. It has a synthetic upper with a Gore-Tex lining, which also makes it good value, as other shoes ...

Boreal Strider (2013)

£145.00

The Boreal Strider is lightweight for a leather boot at 1576g (pair, size 11) and yet it also manages to squeeze in a good range of practical features to make it perform well on the hill. Firstly it has a leather upper that’s virtually stitch-free so it should be pretty durable, as there is almost no stitching to fail or ...

Brasher Hillwalker (2013)

£11.00

The Brasher Hillwalker is a thinner synthetic sock for lighter walking or for those who don’t like the thicker feel of wool. UK-made from Coolmax polyester and nylon, they aren’t as odour-resistant as wool equivalents and can feel on the warm side, but they’re not bad in either respect – especially given the price, which is pretty good for a ...

First test: Montane Grand Tour 55 (2013)

£120.00

While it’s easy to buy tents, jackets and cooking equipment that saves a few hundred grams here and there, all that effort is wasted if you then stuff all that lightweight gear into a heavyweight rucksack. But lightweight rucksack development has been somewhat stifled by the need to ensure that the resulting design is comfortable with a heavy load and ...

X-Socks Trekking Outdoor (2013)

£13.00

X-Socks makes high-spec socks catering for just about everything that might make you sweat. Using a variety of synthetic materials they come in a variety of lengths – including this ‘crew’ variety, which is ideal for wearing with trail shoes. The Trekking Outdoor is padded for an anatomical, comfort-giving fit that aids wicking and keeps your feet padded and cool, ...

Bridgedale Trekker (2013)

£15.00

The WoolFusion model is in a range that includes MerinoFusion and CoolFusion, and these UK-made socks are designed to give the best of both worlds: the comfort and natural low odour of wool combined with the durability, wickability and affordability of synthetics. The result is an ideal general walking sock of high quality that won’t break the bank. www.bridgedale.co.uk Review ...

Mammut T Advanced GTX (2013)

£150.00

The Mammut T Advanced GTX is instantly attractive as it is very lightweight at 1456g and has a striking modern design. The boot has a synthetic upper with leather overlays, and this feels quite robust despite its minimal weight. The toe box is very solid at the end but softer toward the laces – so it’s not the ultimate foot ...

Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX (2013)

£130.00

The Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX is a unique shoe due to its sole, which is specifically designed for climbing via ferrata ladders; but also because it combines the need for a shoe that is ideal for the more technical aspects of climbing with a great performance when approaching the rock over scree or mud. The Vibram sole unit has very ...

Extremities Light Hiker (2013)

£18.00

Extremities are experts in, well, the extremities – so it goes to figure that their socks should be excellent. Probably the most comfortable socks here, the Light Hikers are made from 25 per cent wool and 42 per cent Coolmax polyester among other principally stretchy things, though on inspection you’d be forgiven for thinking they were pure wool. A light, ...

Smartwool Outdoor (2013)

£19.00

Nothing feels quite as luxurious as new woolly socks, and no wool feels quite as good as that from merino sheep. Part of SmartWool’s PhD (geddit?) range, these socks are naturally odour-resistant and high-wicking – helped by the looped-thread lining – as well as being warm and supremely comfortable, making them just the job for long, multi-day walks when a ...

Anatom Q3 (2013)

£145.00

Anatom has released a range of good-value boots over recent years, and the Q3 is designed to deliver ‘mountain performance’. For the mountain you get a good leather upper with minimal stitching that’s wonderfully robust and gives a reassuring feel of support and protection. The toe box is particularly stiff compared to many others we looked at, which is ideal ...

1000 Mile Ultimate Heavyweight (2013)

£15.00

So confident is 1000 Mile in its system – two layers: a synthetic inner which moves with your foot and a wool outer which moves with the boot – that the company offers a money-back guarantee if you get blisters or the socks wear out. It’s an impressive idea, and the 1000 Mile Ultimate Heavyweight is certainly different to others ...

Point6 Hiking Tech (2013)

£20.00

A company started by experts in yarn, Point6 guarantees the Hiking Tech socks to be ‘the best wool socks ever’– a bold claim that originates from the fine spinning process, which helps avoid bobbling and other signs of micro-wear, making them particularly durable. They’re highly elastic, which improves fit and wicking, and also helps to regulate temperature. www.point6.com Review by ...

SealSkinz Walking Sock (2013)

£28.00

SealSkinz waterproof socks have come a long way. Out is the stiff, slightly latex-y feel, and in is merino wool, an ergonomic fit and a much more agreeable-feeling fabric. The SealSkinz Walking Sock is still very different to the others we looked at, but then it is waterproof, so that’s to be expected. It’s also pretty breathable, and may be ...

Lorpen Midweight Hiker (2013)

£16.00

Robust and supportive while not as finely woven as some options, Lorpen’s use of PrimaLoft Eco polyester (Lorpen is known for its polar socks) and 25 per cent merino wool in its Midweight Hiker sock is a quality combination. The Tri-Layer construction has a sound logic: synthetic next to the skin for wicking, natural in the middle to absorb and ...

Haglöfs Vertigo II GT (2013)

£130.00

The Haglöfs Vertigo II GT is a well-proven outdoor workhorse that can cope with the toughest of conditions. It has a leather upper and a fabric tongue with minimal stitching to wear out and fail. But also the upper is very stiff and supportive, so you can kick through rubble when approaching crags without fear of damaging your foot or ...

Mammut Redburn Pro (2013)

£100.00

This is the latest option from Mammut’s well-established Redburn range. With its slightly stiffer sole plus a grippier rubber compound to make it better on rock, the Pro is very much an approach- and climbing- directed design. The upper has leather and synthetic panels that, while not fully waterproof, should keep the worst of the water out. There is good ...

AKU Tribute GTX (2013)

£155.00

The AKU Tribute GTX weighs in at just 1462g (pair, size 11), which considering it’s a leather boot is very respectable. The upper is free of too many frills, with just 2mm thick full-grain leather and minimal stitching throughout. The upper is quite soft, but there’s stiffening in the toe box to protect the feet from stray boulders and stiffening ...

Boreal Aztec (2013)

£100.00

Boreal is perhaps best-known for making more climbing- and mountaineering- orientated footwear, but the Aztec is an example of what it can produce for hillwalkers – and at this price it offers a great deal for the money. It has a fabric and leather upper like most mountain activity shoes, but it benefits from a little more support than most ...

Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX (2013)

£160.00

The Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX is extremely light for a leather boot as it weighs in at just 1358g (pair, size 46) and while it may not boast the stunning good looks of some more striking models, when you do take a closer look it has some pretty good design features for tackling British hills. To begin with you’re getting ...

Lomer Tibet STX (2013)

At 1574g (pair, size 11) the Lomer Tibet STX is one of the lighter 3-season boots we looked at but it also manages to retain a good degree of mountain performance. So you get a fabric and suede leather upper that has been reinforced particularly at the toe box and heel to provide good support for the foot on uneven ...

Meindl Kansas (2013)

Meindl has a well-established reputation for producing extremely comfortable and durable leather hillwalking boots, and the Kansas follows this trend. It has a full leather upper that instantly feels robust in the hand. There’s a rubber rand around the toe box to improve durability on rockier ground, although as there’s so little stitching and so few separate panels, this boot ...

Adidas Terrex Fast R (2013)

£110.00

The Adidas Terrex Fast R manages to keep the weight down while packing in the performance needed to move across a wide variety of terrain. At the heart of the design is a synthetic construction very much built around the Traxion sole unit. The sole is extremely aggressive, with a pattern of deep, widely spaced studs in the forefoot and ...
