Karrimor KSB Peak II Event

£80.00

Broad at the toe, yet narrow at the heel, the KSBs have a fairly distinctive fit. They’re reasonably well padded, feeling good from the word go, yet not too hot in milder conditions. The boots have a moderately stiff midsole, well-suited to all-round walking, and they’re reasonably light, so won’t feel clumsy on easier paths. An eVENT membrane provides the ...

Berghaus Explorer V GTX

£85.00

A 3-season boot that features Gore-Tex waterproof lining; lightweight; reasonably aggressive lug pattern on sole; low ankle cuff improving walking comfort; very stiff toe box. But fit is a bit baggy compared to some others at this price; very flexible sole is not ideal for rocky ground.

Brasher Towa GTX

£90.00

A generous fit and the tricky lacing system makes it difficult to get a really snug fit. They are still comfortable, though, with excellent ankle support and nice soft cuffs. A stiff boot with a chunky rubber sole that gives good grip and shock absorption on rocky ground, and a Gore-Tex lining that is completely waterproof. A little heavy and ...

Raichle Sierra GTX

£90.00

These fabric boots from Raichle are really comfortable from the off, with a medium-high ankle cuff and plenty of padding where it’s needed. Slightly wider than some, they allow you to really crank up the laces for a super-stable fit, with no heel-rubbing on the climbs and no toe-banging on the descents. Plenty of toe and heel protection too. They ...

A very lightweight 3-season boot weighing 1260g (pair, size 11). Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining is more breathable than standard Gore-Tex. Rubber toe protector and reasonably stiff toe box for foot protection; very stiff sole is ideal for a variety of terrain. However, outsole lug pattern is relatively shallow and upper is not as durable as full leather.

Low ankle cuff allows more freedom; stiff toe box with rubber rand; leather upper and double tongue for comfort and protection; excellent stiff sole with fairly aggressive outsole.

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 ...

£115.00

The North Face Dhaulagiri GTX weighs 1548g (pair, size 11); suede leather upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; good cushioning underfoot; Vibram sole unit; good boot for easier terrain. But minimal stiffness in sole and toe box so not as impressive as hyped-up appearance suggests; pricy; sole lugs not as aggressive as some others.

Scarpa ZG40

£120.00

These three-season leather boots from Scarpa, although slightly narrow, are well padded and lightweight and reasonably comfortable from the box. The laces pass through leather eyelets, which grip well and therefore help maintain the correct tension across the foot throughout your journey. The narrow fit might stop you tightening them quite as much as you’d like, but they still hold ...

Brasher Trailmaster GTX

£120.00

The 3-season Trailmaster builds on the success and performance of the Brasher Hillmaster, the UK’s most popular walking boot, by being a little more aggressive in its design. The upper is thick nubuck leather with minimal stitching to ensure it is water-resistant as well as durable. A Gore-Tex lining makes the boot waterproof. This upper is a little stiffer than ...

Scarpa Infinity

£120.00

Well-placed padding make these feel superb when you first pull them on, but they’re quite narrow and difficult to lace tightly, resulting in painful toe banging on descent. A good medium-stiff midsole and nice high cuff should have made them very stable, but the fabric panel directly above the ankle bone is a little too soft and doesn’t offer the ...

Raichle’s Mt Guide 3-season boot is a lightweight option that still manages to provide excellent protection and support. The upper is a clean, full-grain leather with minimal stitching to enhance durability. Inside there’s a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. The toe box is solid with a good rubber rand to enhance the life of the boot. The ankle is a little lower ...

Asolo Flame 2009

£130.00

The Asolo Flame has been around for a while, and it is a popular boot. It is reasonably lightweight, while its stylish fabric upper is certainly more interesting than a brown leather boot. There is a Gore-Tex lining to guarantee dry feet. The reasonably supportive upper appears well-made and able to take a fair bit of abuse. The toe box ...

A 3-season boot with full leather upper with minimal stitching for durability, rubber rand around whole boot and very stiff toe box to protect feet. Stiff Vibram sole is ideal for rocky ground; reasonable lug pattern for general traction. However, at 1972g (pair, size 11) the boot is fairly heavy. Lugs on other boots on the market are a little ...

Salomon Quest 4D GTX 2009

£130.00

Take a good look at the new Salomon Quest 4D GTX 3-season boot and you’ll recognise the outsole, which is a development of Salomon’s trail running outsole. It gives this boot an excellent ride that takes the wearer close to the ground with a good level of cushioning and stiffness to protect from the pounding. There is a good depth ...

Meindl Softline Ultra GTX

£135.00

The Softline has a  pretty standard fit and is a sturdy boot. Less padding than most, so it takes a little more wearing-in than some. It’s quite tall at the ankle and therefore one of the more supportive boots tested. And the midsole is about the stiffest on test, giving plenty of protection on really rough ground. The Gore-Tex lining ...

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. ...

The Burma is a modern classic 3-season boot that regularly does well in Trail tests.

This 3-season boot came fourth in 2007 and is the Gore-Tex version of the PowerMatic 250 that came fifth in April 2006. It has a PowerMatic sole, which is triple-density PU (meaning you get cushioning where you need it) and it won’t degrade with use.

Asolo Flame GTX 2011

The Asolo Flame GTX is a well-proven boot that is ideal for many hill-walkers. On first appearances it looks like many other boots, but as soon as you get it on your feet you notice the difference. Although it looks like a normal fabric boot, that upper is very stiff, supportive and protective of the foot. Also the toe box ...
