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 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 ...
