Hi-Tec V-Lite Buxton Mid WP (2012)

£75.00

This is a sub-£100 boot built for paths and trails, and best-suited to lower-level walking away from rocky mountain tops. The medium-soft sole provides reasonable amounts of support and cushioning, giving good padding on harder terrain such as roads and stone paths. The uppers are very soft, making breaking-in easy. Grip-wise, their reasonably wide-spaced lugs give some traction, although they ...

Hi-Tec Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi 2011

£100.00

Forgoing a waterproof liner, with the Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi, Hi-Tec instead use an Ion-Mask plasma treatment that makes the fabric repel water. This is a good addition to a leather boot especially as this version features more stitching (potential leak points) than it did when Trail tested it in 2010. The ankle cuff is a good height, being not ...

Hi-Tec Rainier eVent 2010

£160.00

The Hi-Tec Rainier eVent weighs 1712g (pair, size 11); full leather upper with minimal stitching; rubber rand at the toe adds durability; eVent waterproof lining; extremely aggressive Vibram sole with deep, well-spaced lugs; good cushioning. But the upper is a little softer than some; outsole flex is a little soft and not quite as well-graduated as similar boots.

Hi-Tec Rainer eVent

£140.00

A lovely looking boot which offers good support at the ankle cuff. It’s quite a roomy fit, which makes it harder to get a really stable fit. The eVENT waterproof lining kept water out throughout the test, and the excellent Vibram sole did a great job on hard and soft ground alike. It has a good rubber rand, which will ...

Hi-Tec Ridge eVent

£70.00

A lightweight 3-season boot weighing 1540g (pair, size 11). eVent waterproof lining; very stiff heel and toe box for protection and support; very stiff Vibram sole unit with good lugs for mud and scree; stunning performance and features for the price. However, the intricate upper may not be as durable as one-piece leather; a rubber rather than a leather rand ...

Hi-Tec Ridge Event

£75.00

A narrow design, coupled with an awkward lacing system, makes it difficult to get a decent fit. Lots of padding feels nice at first. A fairly stiff boot with a good, rugged, shock-absorbing Vibram sole. The eVENT lining works well to keep water out, although the ample padding can make feet hot and sweaty. Good toe and heel protection.   ...

Hi-Tec Peak eVent

£90.00

This is an excellent sub-£100 3-season boot, and there are not many that can boast its rich recipe of successfully produced features. Firstly you get an eVent waterproof lining, which is as good as waterproof linings get. There is a full leather upper too with not too much stitching to fray or fail when the boot takes a hammering on ...

Hi-Tec Peak eVENT

£90.00

These three-season leather boots from Hi-Tec have a combination of a wide fit, plenty of padding and a very soft upper, making them a lovely boot to pull on and go walking in. However, they could do with a little more toe and heel protection, especially on rockier ground. A well-featured boot for the price with a very breathable eVENT ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Fasthike Mid WP

£55.00

These fabric boots from Hi-Tec are long in the foot, but otherwise a good fit. They’re not as padded as some, and therefore don’t feel as good from the box, but they do wear in quite quickly. It takes a while to get the lacing right, but once sorted they feel supportive and stable. Waterproof leather keeps rain/dew at bay, ...

Hi-Tec Peak

£80.00

These three-season boots are really quite big, which becomes even more noticeable after the padding compresses slightly. They’re also a little harsh on the ankle cuffs, particularly on the lower shin. Best suited to those with higher volume feet. The Peak is fairly substantial, with a very high ankle cuff that provides plenty of support but also makes it a ...
