Peter Storm Malvern Ultra

£50.00

These boots from Peter Storm are roomy at the heel and wide across the foot, but narrow at the toe. They were also too long. The ankle cuffs are well padded but a little low. They could offer more support, but perform well enough for low-level walks, with good rubber bumpers at the toe and heel and Vibram soles, which ...

Karrimor KSB Peak Event

£70.00

A 3-season boot that features eVent waterproof lining; rubber toe bumper for extra durability; solid toe box for foot protection; Vibram sole unit; good stiffness and cushioning for rocky mountain paths; synthetic and suede upper keeps price down. But is not as durable as full leather; some boots have a more aggressive outsole lug pattern.

Karrimor KSB Peak Event 2009

£80.00

The Karrimor KSB Peak Event weighs 1400g (pair, size 11); stiff toe box provides lots of protection; Vibram outsole for good grip on a variety of terrain; good cushioning for hard surfaces; eVent waterproof lining. But very soft sole flex restricts performance to level paths; fabric upper not as durable as leather boots and those with less stitching; upper is ...

Scarpa ZG 65

£100.00

These fabric boots from Scarpa feel a little harsh at first, but after one short walk mould to your feet perfectly, giving you a really snug and secure fit. The high, padded ankle cuffs are good, and the lacing system allows you to get a really good fit across the whole of your foot. The shape of the boot keeps ...

Salomon Mega Trek 6LTR GTX

£110.00

These very supportive three-season boots from Salamon are, disappointingly, a bit too roomy in the toe. However, the lacing system ensures you can lace them up nice and tight to keep your feet in place and get a good amount of support. The inners, tongue and ankle cuffs are well padded for comfort, although quite warm. These are a really ...

Scarpa ZG65 XCR

£110.00

The ZG65 is slightly narrow, but the uppers are soft and pliable so it’ll accommodate most feet given a few wears. It’s well-padded, and feels very light, but a locking eyelet at the top of the foot would make it easier to get a really stable fit. The midsole is a compromise – stiff enough to take a bit of ...

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 ...

Alt-Berg Fremington

£120.00

These three-season leather boots from Alt-Berg are available in various widths and volumes, as well as half sizes, so most people should be able to get a good fit. That said, the ‘wide’ section of the boot can still feel too far forward for your feet. With a medium-stiff midsole and reasonably high, supportive, full-grain leather upper, the Fremington makes ...

Salomon Revo SCS GTX

£125.00

A 3-season boot that features a stitchless construction so durability should be very good; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; solid toe box; very aggressive Contagrip sole lug pattern; good underfoot cushioning due to PU heel section; rubber toe bumper for extra durability; women’s  sizes up to 10.5. But very flexible sole lets down an otherwise promising mountain boot.

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 ...

Asolo Flame 2010

£150.00

The Asolo Flame is a well-proven synthetic and suede leather boot with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. What sets this apart from many similar-looking boots is that it combines fairly standard-looking styling with some really important functionality. So it is reasonably lightweight compared to some similar options. The upper is more supportive than most with a solid toe box that has ...

Meindl Burma Pro MFS 2011

£180.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS features nubuck leather; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; memory foam; rubber rand for durability; excellent sole unit for general hill-walking; proven performance and frequent Trail’s  ‘Best in Test’ winner. But its weight of 1948g (pair, size 11) is just too heavy by modern standards; the price is too high compared with other options that provide most of ...

North Ridge Tower Event 2011

£180.00

The North Ridge Tower Event weighs 1704g (pair, size 11); full-grain leather upper; eVent waterproof lining; rubber rand around toe; Vibram sole unit with extremely deep lug pattern for grip and durability; good stiffness in sole unit. But upper is quite soft and unsupportive compared to sole; at this price there are some slightly better boots.
