Brasher Chichon 2010

£50.00

The Chichon has won this test for a number of years and I have not heard of anyone having problems with it either. So it appears to be well-proven. It has a waterproof lining and is built to take plenty of use and abuse while offering excellent protection for children heading for rougher terrain. But a full leather upper would ...

Brasher Tora GTX 2011

£60.00

The Brasher Tora GTX is a new boot that appears to be a good development of the Chichon, which has won this test in recent years. The outsole is very aggressive with good stiffness, making it ideal for rougher terrain. The upper has a Gore-Tex lining to keep out the wet plus a very good stiff toe box and a ...

Brasher Kenai GTX 2011

£100.00

When it comes to soles, striking a balance between bendy enough that you can feel what you’re doing and stiff enough that you’re not groaning at every bump and lump is key. With the Kenai GTX, Brasher seems to have found this balance. Though undeniably bendier than some other models on test, the Kenai (men’s version is the Kiso) does ...

Lomer Gardena MTX 2011

£100.00

Considering you get a quality leather upper with minimal stitching – to help prevent leaks over long-term use – as well as a waterproof liner, the Lomer Gardena (men’s version is the Tofana) offers superb value for money. Despite the fact it doesn’t use Gore-Tex (which may be more breathable than the Mertex they’ve chosen) a liner means that even ...

Trezeta Juliette 2011

£100.00

I’m just going to say it straight off: a boot called Juliette?! I mean, would you call a man’s boot Romeo (there isn’t a men’s version called this just in case you wondered)? Ultra-feminine names aside, the Trezeta Juliette is a good lightweight boot, the lightest in this test and it still manages to pack in a set of aggressive ...

Zamberlan Titan GT

£110.00

Provide a really good fit across the whole foot. Its excellent lacing system also ensures feet stay secure and comfortable, even on really uneven ground. Although the ankle cuffs are quite low, they give excellent support and protection and, while heavier than some, they feel light on your feet, helping you walk confidently and easily. The chunky Vibram sole grips ...

Zamberlan Vioz GT

£130.00

These three-season leather boots from Zamberlan are a little narrow at first, but they soften up quickly and are then very comfortable. The lacing system, which allows you to get a really good fit and stops them feeling clumsy, despite their weight, is great. The padded tongue is exceptionally comfortable and the high ankle cuffs offer good support. The wonderful ...

Asolo Atlantis GTX

£130.00

The Atlantis is a very sturdy boot, with Asolo’s new Active Heel Support which cradles the heel and offers really good shock absorption. The toe box is a little on the narrow side, but an excellent lacing system should allow for a comfortable fit for all but the widest feet. The well-placed locking eyelet also helps by keeping feet firmly ...

Zamberlan Rise GT MNS

£135.00

A heavy boot, but it doesn’t actually feel heavy on, due to an excellent fit, with a narrow heel that almost grips the foot and a sweet rolling action that seems to propel the foot forward. It’s reasonably well-padded and the lacing’s excellent, making it easy to get a really stable fit. The thick split-leather/Cordura upper offers support and bags ...

First test: Mammut Brecon boots (2012)

£145.00

British mountains provide a unique test for the walker, with terrain that includes everything from smooth paths to rocky scrambles and from grassy slopes to boggy moors. While it is easy to get gear that performs well in one situation, it is far more difficult to find outdoors kit that manages to handle everything the UK hills can throw at ...

Salomon Quest 4D GTX (2012)

£150.00

The Quest 4D is a great-looking boot, with split-suede and mesh uppers and decent rubber bumpers at the toe and heel to keep them looking fresh. The narrow heel and comparatively wide forefoot gives them an incredibly secure feel, and this, coupled with an excellent lacing system and two offset locking eyelets, means your feet stay comfortably in place, even ...

Meindl Softline Ultra GTX (2012)

£150.00

These have the feel of a serious boot, with a stiff chassis underfoot that provides stability and support, particularly over rougher ground. This becomes useful on longer walks too, because feet don’t tire as quickly as with softer-flexing boots. There is a decent enough ‘rocker’ in the sole that provides a pleasant walking action on harder ground. Although made from ...

Asolo Powermatic 200 GTX

£150.00

Asolo’s Micro Pully lacing system does an excellent job of keeping feet secure and comfortable and offset locking eyelets really clamp the boot to your foot. These have a high, supportive ankle cuff and a reassuringly stiff, triple-density midsole which provides graduated cushioning and excellent shock absorption. A Gore-Tex lining and high ankle cuff do an excellent job of keeping ...

Aku Lagorai GTX

£165.00

A classic-looking all-rounder that coped well with both boggy hillsides and more rocky trails. It has a reasonably stiff midsole, about perfect for this kind of boot, and an excellent outsole that felt aggressive enough on softer ground yet still performed confidently on rock. The Gore-Tex liner worked perfectly throughout. They did feel a little warm on milder days – ...

Scarpa Trek GTX 2011

£170.00

The Scarpa Trek GTX is a classic boot that is built for tackling Britain’s toughest peaks year in, year out. It has a leather upper that is virtually stitch-free so it is very durable. There is extra reinforcement around the toe box, and the toe box itself is stiffened to protect the toes. A unique feature is the ankle cuff, ...
