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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brasher Lithium XCR 2009

£110.00

How light is right? For some only the lightest of products will do. For others only the most durable kit will suffice, no matter how heavy it is. For the majority of walkers the middle ground between these extremes is ideal, but finding that perfect blend of low weight and practical performance is a never-ending compromise. Brasher has long been ...

Scarpa Ranger GTX

£110.00

These three-season boots from Scarpa are very comfortable right from the word go. They fit well, with a good amount of room in the toe, a comfortable heel and a soft, supportive ankle cuff. The streamlined, classic design is a pleasure and the luxurious leather upper is instantly eye-catching. The Rangers perform exceptionally well over all types of terrain, especially ...

Asolo Flame GTX

£120.00

Well padded at the ankle cuff and tongue, without being over the top, and the speed lacing system is effective and easy to use, producing a stable fit every time. On the heavy side, but easy to move in, and nimble, too. The stiff midsole excels on rougher ground, yet the boots are just as pleasant to wear around local ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Scarpa Nepal

£135.00

This 3-season boot came first in Trail April 2006 and for my money it is still the best option for the sort of tough mountain walking that most Trail readers like to do. As with all the best boots, the upper is a virtually stitch-free nubuck leather design, to ensure maximum durability after years of abuse on Britain’s highest peaks. ...

Scarpa Nepal

£140.00

This 3-season boot came top in our tests in April 2006 and 2007, and it’s still a superb boot for tough mountain walking. Like all the best boots, the upper is a virtually stitch-free nubuck leather design, to ensure maximum durability after years of abuse on Britain’s highest peaks. To further enhance durability, there’s a rubber rand that extends all ...

Raichle Mount Trail GTX

£140.00

This 3-season boot took 4th place back in TrailApril 06. It benefits from a Gore-Tex waterproof lining to guarantee dry feet, and that higher level of waterproofness makes this ideal for those walking day after day in very wet conditions. Like all the top-end Raichle boots this offers much of what most walkers will want. So you get a very ...

Raichle/Mammut Mtn. Trail GTX 2009

£150.00

There is actually very little between this and the Scarpa Trek, but for the same price the Mountain Trail also gets a Gore-Tex lining. This was a Raichle boot, but the brand has been absorbed by Mammut so you may see it badged as either. The boot is based around a simple nubuck leather upper without lots of stitching to ...

Meindl Vakuum GTX

£150.00

This is a new 3-season boot from Meindl, and for our money it just about has the edge over the Meindl Burma Pro, even though it is a tenner more expensive. Firstly it’s a notch lighter in weight. I also like that full rubber rand, which provides extra protection when scrambling over rocks. The ankle cuff is a little softer ...

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 ...

Mammut Mountain Trail GTX 2010

£160.00

The Trail GTX has been popular for years and is a frequent winner of Trail boot tests. It was known as the Raichle Mountain Trail, but is now the Mammut Mountain Trail as the Raichle brand was absorbed by Mammut. It is a classic design of a simple, clutter-free nubuck leather upper providing support and durability for long-term performance. The ...

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 – ...

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, ...
