Hi-Tec Altitude Glide WP

£65.00

Very lightweight walking boots made from full-grain leather. Because they’ve got a low ankle cuff and very forgiving fit, they will especially suit walkers with wide or problem feet. These boots don’t have a waterproof lining – instead the fabric has been treated with ion-mask waterproof technology. This helps keep them lightweight, and also does a great job of keeping ...

Hi-Tec Tauranga

£50.00

Although heavy and a bit clompy when first on, and not exactly top of the style stakes, the Tauranga is a capable walking shoe. They have a solid sole that gives good protection over rough ground and provides decent levels of support on stony terrain. The tread leaves a bit to be desired, though, with a very shallow pattern, although ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Sonoma WPi

£90.00

The Sonoma were a little stiffer than anticipated when first on, with an oddly rigid tongue, but after a short distance they softened up. The front of the sole is particularly flexible, allowing a natural foot flex and a pleasant gait, and the midsole still provides enough support. Good levels of shock absorption do make a difference on road sections ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Altitude Ultra Luxe Wpi

£100.00

The V-Lite Altitude came as a bit of a surprise, with its great comfort levels, and not needing much breaking in. There is a good amount of flex in the toe section and a good roll at the toes to help propel you forward. The midsole is stiffer and more supportive, with decent shock absorbing under the heel. They are ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Thunder Ultra HPi

£65.00

With a totally synthetic upper and no waterproof lining, these are very light shoes, and whilst that means wet feet when wading through puddles or crossing wet grass, it also means a lot less effort on longer walks. Any water that does get in is quickly expelled, and the Ion-Mask treatment means they never feel soggy and do dry out ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Thunder 2010

£65.00

The Hi-Tec V-Lite Thunder weighs 864g (pair, size 11); ion-mask treated mesh upper provides water resistance; well-cushioned sole; reasonable outlug pattern for tracks; some toe protection; good sole flex for running; good price. But not waterproof; once water enters it cannot escape easily; not most durable on rocky terrain or most grippy in mud.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Eruption HPi

£80.00

A very lightweight and flexible shoe and instantly comfortable, but not enough support for really rugged terrain. A good lacing system will keep your feet firmly in place. Treated with ion-mask – a revolutionary new process that makes the actual fabric waterproof, although the upper of the Eruption is mesh so water can still get in if it rains or ...

Hi-Tec V Lite Trail Eruption 2009

£80.00

The Hi-Tec V Lite Trail Eruption multi-activity shoe weighs 812g (pair, size 11); good cushioning for road and hard tracks; good grip for tracks; very breathable upper ideal for running; good heel support; good sole flex for running. But a deeper lug pattern would be better for mud; non-runners would benefit from then being waterproof; stiffer sole better for climbers; ...

Hi-Tec V-lite Radar II Event

£60.00

Lightweight, with a lovely soft fabric upper reinforced with narrow strips of synthetic tape that make it feel more like a running shoe than a boot. Great protection and support for such a lightweight shoe. The eVENT lining is both waterproof and breathable and the outsole grips well on most surfaces. Durability may be an issue with heavy use.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Radar Event

£60.00

This multi-activity shoe comes at a superb price for what you’re getting. The V-Lite Radar eVent is very light and yet it boasts the key features that anyone heading outdoors might find useful. Firstly it has a waterproof upper, thanks to its eVent lining. The toe box is very stiff, so it will provide good protection on rocky ground. Underfoot ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Hurricane eVent

£60.00

This multi-activity shoe features an eVent waterproof lining; external skeleton design to protect upper; stiff toe box for boot protection; supportive heel cup; well-cushioned sole; good sole stiffness for a variety of uses; aggressive Vibram lug pattern on the sole; a superb price. But the mesh that extends close to the sole means this won’t be as durable as shoes ...

Hi-Tec Altitude II

£30.00

These sandals from Hi-Tec are not as comfortable as some at first, but some tweaking soon ensures a good fit with plenty of support. The neoprene-lined straps feel very comfortable next to your skin, and the soft microfibre footbeds are great. Great to walk in, offering plenty of support and good traction. The footbeds hold your feet still, even when ...

Hi-Tec Multi-Terra Mid WP

£50.00

These multi-activity shoes from Hi-Tec have a fairly flexible midsole and padded upper that makes them feel snug straight from the box. The rolling motion of the sole unit feels a little odd at first, but works well once you get used to it. They are quite a high cut, which will suit some, but can be a little harsh ...
