Peter Storm Coleburn 2011

£30.00

The Peter Storm Coleburn is a very low-priced boot with a low ankle cuff to provide comfort straight from the box. The upper has a waterproof lining to keep feet dry, plus panels of suede to increase durability. Underfoot the lugs are widely spaced to prevent clogging. But there is very little stiffness in the Peter Storm Coleburn’s sole or ...

This children’s walking boot is lightweight; low-cut design makes it comfy; Velcro fastening is easier than laces; very cool styling; stiff, supportive sole and heel cup; ideal for multi-activity and travel. But it has a low ankle cuff, so it’s not ideal for rough or wet terrain; toe box is quite soft; sole lug pattern is not the best in ...

Keen Targhee

£35.00

The Keen Targhee is a low-cut children’s shoe with a very breathable upper, making this ideal for summer walks.

The North Face Prophecy 2010

£35.00

The The North Face Prophecy is a low-cut shoe with very open mesh, which affords excellent breathability. The outsole has a good lug pattern too to provide great grip in the mud. As it is very light it is great for running around in, and it looks pretty good too. Great for use in dry locations. But the ankle cuff ...

Outdoor Scene Corno

£40.00

This children’s walking boot has a waterproof lining; reasonable stiffness in toe and heel cup; aggressive lug pattern on sole for grip in the mud; superb price. But sole is quite flexible and the toe and heel cup, although good, are not quite as supportive as the best, which limits the usefulness of the boot; less underfoot cushioning than some; ...

Berghaus Kids Junior Raid

£40.00

This children’s walking boot has a waterproof lining; reflective panels for road safety; Vibram sole with good cushioning; reasonably stiff toe box and heel cup for protection and support. But very shallow lug pattern on the sole; very soft sole flex limits use to easier terrain; leather upper would be more durable.

The Timberland Trailscape is a low-cut shoe has a breathable mesh upper, making it ideal for walking in warm weather far from any puddles. There is protection around the shoe with suede.

Meindl Magic Junior Mid 2011

£45.00

The Meindl Magic Junior Mid is a well-proven boot costing £5 more this year, but it retains all its great features. There is good stiffness in the sole and upper to protect the growing younger foot. A rubber rand at the toe should increase the durability of the stiffened toe box. Underfoot there is a reasonably grippy lug pattern for ...

Columbia Youth Madruga Peak GTX

£45.00

A good-looking children’s walking boot; top-quality Gore-Tex waterproof lining; reasonably aggressive lug pattern on sole; good cushioning. But very soft toe box and upper provides minimal protection against rocks; soft flex in sole also allows rocks to be easily felt through the sole; synthetic upper not as durable as full leather.

Grisport Ascent

£57.50

The Ascents are soft and comfortable unisex boots that will especially suit walkers with wide feet. They’re best-suited to low-level terrain, as the soft uppers and flexible midsole don’t provide much support. However, they have a a chunky sole that grips well, especially on rock, and the heel and toe are reinforced to protect from knocks. They’re very lightweight, and ...

Regatta Rockfold Mid X-LT

£60.00

The Rockfold is really a high shoe rather than a full-on boot and very much aimed at the more casual walker, with minimal midsole support and a shallow tread pattern that will only really perform on good surfaces. In its favour, it’s superbly comfortable, thanks to a broad, boxy fit and a substantial amount of padding, and the waterproof lining ...

Hi-Tec Lite Fast Hike II MID WP

£60.00

A bit of a hybrid between a multi-activity shoe and a full-on walking boot, but much closer to the boot end of the spectrum than it is the shoe, with a semi-stiff midsole and some good protection for the toe. The fit’s quite roomy, and with only two speed-lacing eyelets each side of the cuff, it’s not so easy to ...

Demon Trail

£80.00

These three-season boots from Demon are pretty roomy, even when laced up really tight. The ankle cuffs are a little harsh and too low, and the tongue could do with a bit more padding. However, the full grain leather upper has a nice quality to it and flexes easily at the toe. They’re very soft, without much support in the ...

An incredibly soft, lightweight and comfortable boot that is really a mid-height multi-activity shoe. They flex easily and breathe exceptionally well, making them a good choice for casual summer walking. They’ll keep out water, too. A good lacing system ensures a snug enough fit, and the moulded heels help keep feet comfortably in place. The very low ankles don’t provide ...
