Gregory Jade 35 (2011)

£94.00

A really comfortable pack with plenty of space for extra kit. It’s got lightweight, flexible and padded hip fins and shoulder straps, and the load is distributed easily across the hips. It’s also got a suspended mesh back system with padded lumbar support so that load-carrying is comfortable and sweat-free. The main compartment is really big, with a zipped panel ...

Osprey Aura 35 (2011)

£100.00

One of the most comfortable women’s daypacks around, with a soft mesh hip belt and nicely rounded shoulder straps. The lightweight frame provides excellent load-carrying support, and the suspended mesh back system stops you getting sweaty. Inside, this pack is cavernous, with plenty of space for everything you’ll need on a long winter walk. The main compartment has a wide, ...

Deuter Futura Pro 34 SL (2011)

£100.00

Lots of padding on the hip fins and shoulder straps means the Futura Pro really excels at carrying lots of heavy winter kit. On the downside, it actually makes the pack quite heavy in itself. However, the hip fins and lumbar support hug the hips beautifully, keeping the load stable, comfortable, and distributed evenly across the hips. Pull-forward adjustment allows ...

Lowe Alpine Airzone Centro ND35 (2011)

£100.00

A classic walking pack that’s durable, comfortable, and carries loads with ease. There’s slightly less room in the main compartment than some, but there’s a large expansion pocket on the front (perfect for carrying waterproofs), and a really useful zip pocket for storing kit you want quick access to. The lid pockets are on the small side, though. It’s got ...

Euro Hike Hydro 35+5 (2011)

£40.00

One of the cheaper models and as a result doesn’t have the technical features of others. The back system uses simple padding that does keep the load close to your centre of gravity, but doesn’t allow air to circulate and so quickly leads to a sweaty and uncomfortable back. Also it isn’t very well protected and you have to be ...

Rohan Stravaig 35 (2011)

£85.00

A less-ventilated pack than some, with a channelled back rather than suspended mesh. The benefit of a channelled back system is that it keeps the load very close to your centre of gravity so that even heavy loads feel stable. The obvious downside is that you don’t get the airflow offered by suspended mesh back systems. There’s plenty of padding ...

Brasher Kanaga Peak 2010

£155.00

With a swing of my leg, the edge of my boot slashed a step in the snow that was wide enough to support my weight. Another swing and another step followed. Onward and upward, step by step, I climbed into the chilly Lakeland fells. I was wearing the Brasher Kanaga GTX, a new winter boot from a brand best known ...

La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX 2009

£220.00

The La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX 4 is a boot with an upper made of mixed materials that helps to keep the weight down. The tongue is well-padded to improve the comfort of the laces too, and so when this is on the foot it feels light and comfortable. There is a waterproof lining to maintain dry feet, and ...

Kayland Apex Rock 2009

£200.00

Some winter boots are better for climbing, and others are better for walking. Kayland’s Apex Rock, as the name suggests, is very much a climbing-orientated design. It has a close, narrow fit, which benefits from lacing that extends right down to the toes. The result is a really dexterous feel that means you can confidently place the toe exactly where ...

Mammut Monolith GTX 2009

£190.00

The Monolith GTX is a new 4-season boot from Mammut, owners of the brand formerly known as Raichle. It is very lightweight with synthetic materials on the upper and a particularly modern design. The benefits of the design include the reduced weight and the performance for the price. This boot slips onto the feet and feels close-fitting and dexterous immediately, ...

Kayland Apex Trek 2009

£190.00

The Kayland Apex Trek 3-4 season boot is very lightweight for its class and yet it benefits from a great package of features and is no slouch in terms of performance either. The upper is made from a combination of fabric and leather with an eVent waterproof lining. The rubber rand extends around the front of the boot for improved ...

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 ...

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 ...

Asolo Powermatic 200 GTX

£150.00

Asolo’s Micro Pully lacing system does an excellent job of keeping feet secure and comfortable and offset locking eyelets really clamp the boot to your foot. These have a high, supportive ankle cuff and a reassuringly stiff, triple-density midsole which provides graduated cushioning and excellent shock absorption. A Gore-Tex lining and high ankle cuff do an excellent job of keeping ...

Scarpa Trek GTX

£150.00

Definitely worth a look if your feet are narrow. A women’s specific last and a good lacing system makes it easy to get a good fit across the foot, although there’s no offset locking eyelet. They have gorgeous nubuck leather uppers which stayed looking good throughout the test. Not as much underfoot cushioning as some, and less midsole support which ...

Meindl Burma Lady Pro MFS

£175.00

Plenty of padding makes these boots feel initially secure and comfortable, and because they incorporate Meindl’s Memory Foam System, should give you a better fit the more you wear them. Although fairly narrow, a good lacing system means you can get a decent fit. The ankle cuffs are high but soft, making them versatile enough for both high and mid-level ...

Hanwag Tatra Lady GTX

£165.00

A great-looking boot in a very distinctive colour. Lots of padding means they’ll be comfortable from the box, and the lacing system makes it easy to get a really secure fit. They’re definitely worth trying if you’ve got narrow feet. The ankle cuff is high and very supportive and the stiff midsole provides excellent protection and shock absorption on tough ...

GriSport Edge

£90.00

This is a unisex boot so some women may find it hard to get a good fit, especially as the lacing system on its own isn’t good enough to provide proper support. Also the sizing is on the large side. They’ve got a lovely high, supportive ankle cuff which inspires confidence on rough terrain, and helps keep water out. The ...

Blacks Kilimanjaro

£65.00

A lightweight boot with soft leather uppers that won’t hold your feet as securely as some, but worth a look if you’ve got wide feet. Some walkers will like the lower ankle cuff – the upside being your feet shouldn’t get too hot, the downside being it can let in water. The Sympatex lining will help keep your feet dry ...

Peter Storm Skiddaw II

£60.00

A roomy but very comfortable boot with traditional good looks and it will do a fine job if you do most of your walking at lower levels or on good paths. Higher up the mountain it is challenged by a lack of midsole stiffness that means your foot will feel every uneven step or sharp rock. It’s a light boot, ...

Asolo Atlantis GTX

£130.00

The Atlantis is a very sturdy boot, with Asolo’s new Active Heel Support which cradles the heel and offers really good shock absorption. The toe box is a little on the narrow side, but an excellent lacing system should allow for a comfortable fit for all but the widest feet. The well-placed locking eyelet also helps by keeping feet firmly ...

The North Face Dhaulagiri GTX

£115.00

Plenty of padding on the ankle cuff and tongue, and soft mesh uppers, make the Dhaulagiris exceptionally comfortable, straight from the box. The ankle cuff is very high to give maximum support, and also helps keep out grit and water splashes. A good lacing system and well-placed locking eyelet will keep feet comfortably in place all day and there’s extra ...

Hanwag Banks Lady GTX

£125.00

Plenty of padding makes the Banks feel as comfortable as slippers. Be warned, though – lots of padding and a Gore-Tex lining will result in very sweaty feet in warmer weather. The suede uppers are really soft and the fit is especially suitable for women with wide feet, since the laces don’t allow much room for adjustment. The midsole is ...

Zamberlan Rise GT MNS

£135.00

A heavy boot, but it doesn’t actually feel heavy on, due to an excellent fit, with a narrow heel that almost grips the foot and a sweet rolling action that seems to propel the foot forward. It’s reasonably well-padded and the lacing’s excellent, making it easy to get a really stable fit. The thick split-leather/Cordura upper offers support and bags ...

Scarpa ZG65 XCR

£110.00

The ZG65 is slightly narrow, but the uppers are soft and pliable so it’ll accommodate most feet given a few wears. It’s well-padded, and feels very light, but a locking eyelet at the top of the foot would make it easier to get a really stable fit. The midsole is a compromise – stiff enough to take a bit of ...
