Contour Trail (2012)

£90.00

These are really comfortable boots that will feel great straight from the box. The fit is supportive yet easy enough to accommodate a variety of foot shapes. They’ve got a nice contemporary look, with metal lacing eyelets and reassuringly tough fabric. The laces are rather short, though – one to watch if you’ve got wide feet and need more room. ...

Contour New Navigator 2011

£100.00

With Contour known for producing quality boots for a low price it’s not surprising the New Navigators found their way into the top eight in Trail’s test. The leather upper has hardly any stitching in it, which virtually guarantees durability, and a stiffened toe box provides maximum protection from loose stones. Of all the boots on test, this one has ...

Contour New Navigator 2011

£100.00

The Contour New Navigator has dominated the lower-priced end of the 3-season boot market for many years. For the price you get an exceptional quality of features and performance. The upper is made from top-quality leather that is virtually free of stitching so this is a very durable design. The upper is also stiffer than most boots and the toe ...

Contour Trail 2011

£90.00

The Contour Trail weighs 308g (pair, size 11); synthetic fabric and suede upper; Hydroban waterproof lining; good outsole lug pattern for grip in mud; well-cushioned sole unit for use on hard surfaces. But the sole is very bendy and the upper is relatively soft and flexible, which restricts best performance to valley paths rather than more rugged terrain.

Contour Nevada 2010

£100.00

Contour boots were developed by Scarpa as a lower-budget alternative, and so they deliver great value backed up by boot-making expertise. These are designed specifically for the British walker and feature a broader fit to suit the wider British foot. They are well-cushioned and feature a good sole that manages to keep a grip even on very muddy British hillsides. ...

Contour Nevada 2010

£90.00

The Contour Nevada weighs 1076g (pair, size 11); Hydroban waterproof lining; superb price for quality of materials; minimal stitching on leather upper; excellent stiffness and support; aggressive sole unit; great cushioning and comfort. But for more cash you can get a slightly stiffer boot (eg Contour New Navigator), which is better for rocky hill and mountain walking.

Contour New Navigator 2010

£100.00

The Contour New Navigator is a very well-proven boot that has frequently been voted ‘Best Value’ in Trail. You get a great level of performance features for your money, including a top-quality leather upper that is built to take the knocks and scrapes from a day on rocky mountains, as it is virtually free of stitching to fray. The upper ...

Contour New Navigator 2009

£85.00

The original Contour Navigator and the New Navigator have been ‘Best Buys’ in Trail for a number of years. The advantage of this boot over most others is how much you get for your money. There is a relatively stitch-free leather upper, so it will be very water-resistant if looked after properly, very durable and ideal for tackling rocky mountain ...

Contour Lady Nevada 2009

£80.00

The Contour Lady Nevada weighs 1076g (pair, size 5); Hydroban waterproof lining; superb price for quality of materials; stitch-free leather upper; excellent stiffness and support; aggressive sole unit; great cushioning and comfort. But for more cash you can get a slightly stiffer boot, such as the Contour New Navigator, which is better for rocky hill and mountain walking.

Contour Trail

£50.00

A lightweight 3-season boot weighing 1516g (pair, size 11). Hydroban waterproof lining and excellent heel support for rocky ground; very aggressive lug pattern; good sole stiffness for rocky ground. However, there’s no underfoot cushioning; poor flex for general walking; upper not as durable as full leather; soft toe box not ideal for rocky ground.

Contour Fell

£50.00

The contoured fit will really suit certain foot shapes – narrow at the heel and broad at the toe. However, having only five eyelets makes it hard to lace them up securely, which affects stability on the hill. Quite heavy, with a hard rubber sole that doesn’t provide much shock absorption on rocky ground. A very flexible toe and midsole ...

Contour New Navigator

£80.00

The original Contour Navigator 3-season boot has been a ‘Best Buy’ in Trail for a number of years, but now there’s a new version, which looks just as good. The leather upper is very stitch-free, so it’s highly water-resistant if looked after properly, and also very durable and ideal for tackling rocky mountain terrain. The upper is also stiffer than ...

Contour Trail Junior

£30.00

This is the lowest-priced kids’ walking boot we looked at, yet it is better than some higher-priced models if you are heading for the hills. It benefits from a waterproof lining which is tucked away behind a conservative upper. The upper is relatively plain and simple, so there is not too much stitching to wear out on rocky terrain. The ...

Contour Navigator

£75.00

This 3-season  boot has been a regular runner-up in Trail tests as there is little else to beat it at the price, or a higher price if you are a hill-walker. The upper is made from a very stitch-free top quality leather, so it is very water-resistant if looked after properly and also very durable and ideal for tackling on ...

Contour Fell

£50.00

These fabric boots from Contour are not the best fitting, being broad and roomy at the toe, yet with a fairly narrow mid section. They’re not helped a lot by the lacing, which uses only five eyelets rather than the usual six. They’re rather heavy and that broad toe makes them feel quite clumsy. The midsole is pretty flexible, making ...
