Quite a broad fit, but with an excellent lacing system that enables a really stable fit, and the well-padded uppers are a delight to put on at the start of each walk. Medium-stiff midsole, a lovely supportive ankle cuff and good sole grip.

Verdict: An excellent fabric all-rounder that will cope with pretty much anything thrown at it and at a superb price, too. If it fits, splash the cash without any hesitation.

    These boots were by far the most comfortable in the shop when I brought them, and it is extemely well cusioned. The sole provides plenty of grip on all types of surfaces and the ankle gives just enough support, although i would prefer more support for a long day in the hills,m as the sole is not as stiff as it could be. I have had my pair for 9 months now and used it a lot in Snowdonia, and the upper has shown no major sigh of wear and tear yet, and the Gore-Tex liner has not let me down yet. I would recomend these boots for anyome looking for a pair of reasonable lightweight pair of boots which are not too expensive.
