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 rubber toe bumper is ideal for extra protection and the heel cup offers good support. Better still the wide forefoot is ideal for broader feet. But as this is a low-cut shoe rather than a boot it more easily allows ...

Regatta Wetland Junior

£40.00

The Regatta Wetland Junior’s suede and synthetic upper looks fresh and appealing, and this children’s boot gets a waterproof lining. There is some good stiffness around the toe and heel too for increased durability and protection.

The North Face Jinxy Mid

£45.00

The The North Face Jinxy Mid is a stylish, waterproof children’s shoe with a mid-cut ankle cuff, so it offers a little more protection than a shoe. The upper is well-supported at the heel, and underfoot there is good stiffness to take the knocks out of uneven, rocky ground.  But the mid-cut ankle cuff is still lower than a boot, ...

Trezeta Idaho Kid

£45.00

An Alpine style with a branded Vibram outsole and waterproof construction make the Trezeta Idaho Kid children’s boot look appealing.

Meindl Magic Junior Mid

£50.00

A Gore-Tex waterproof lining in this children’s boot keeps the feet dry behind that stylish upper. The Meindl Magic Junior Mid has good stiffness throughout to provide support and protection on rough terrain. Rubber at the toe box and heel add a little extra durability too. But this boot has quite a low ankle cuff, so it’s not ideal for ...

The Scarpa Marmot children’s boot has been highly rated in past tests thanks to its full nubuck leather upper and waterproof lining, coupled with good stiffness in the toe box, sole and heel cup for ideal mountain performance.

Regatta Lady Wetland X-LT II

£55.00

These fabric boots from Regatta are really lightweight and very comfortable, and feel more like multi-activity shoes than walking boots. The relaxed fit makes them great to wear, although for a walking boot they aren’t as supportive as they could be. Really only suitable for low-level walks, the Wetlands keep your feet dry, with soft mesh/suede uppers which flex easily ...

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 ...

The Regatta Lady Fast Track Mid X-LT weighs just 752g (pair, size 5); Isotex waterproof lining; reasonably aggressive outsole lug pattern to keep a grip in mud; excellent price. But very flexible sole and upper with a soft toe box, so not the best for rocky ground.

Asolo Voyager XCR

£100.00

These fabric boots from Asolo are a little tight and narrow, but prove reasonably comfortable on the hill, courtesy of ample padding on the ankle cuff and a good lacing system, which keeps your feet comfortably in place.

Zamberlan Ultra Lite GT 2009

£135.00

The Zamberlan Ultra Lite GT lives up to its name as a very light leather boot for maximum durability and support.

AKU Ultra Light GTX

£145.00

A surprisingly narrow and unforgiving fit that will only suit women with narrow feet. They’re lightweight, though, with a soft, medium-high ankle cuff. The Gore-Tex lining will keep your feet dry, and the suede and mesh uppers are very breathable. But the very lightweight sole and narrow heel don’t provide much shock absorption, which doesn’t inspire confidence on rough terrain, ...
