Berghaus Tarazed GTX 2011

£140.00

The Berghaus Tarazed GTX is a remarkable boot in a number of ways. Firstly the price is stunning by modern standards for a 3-4 season model. But it is also very light for this type of boot. For the minimal price and weight you get good performance too, thanks to a stiff, supportive upper to protect the foot on scree ...

Scarpa Kailash GTX

£145.00

An excellent all-rounder with a mid-height ankle cuff and a versatile semi-stiff midsole that coped with all terrains. Plenty of protection at the heel and toe and stayed dry throughout the test as well as dealing well with perspiration when walking fast uphill. They also feel quite light – especially as they are so rugged and well-built. The outsole has ...

Brasher Kanaga Peak 2010

£155.00

With a swing of my leg, the edge of my boot slashed a step in the snow that was wide enough to support my weight. Another swing and another step followed. Onward and upward, step by step, I climbed into the chilly Lakeland fells. I was wearing the Brasher Kanaga GTX, a new winter boot from a brand best known ...

Zamberlan Mountain Lite HBS 2008

£155.00

The Zamberlan Mountain Lite is a 3-4 season boot that incorporates the classic features that have been popular for British mountain walking for many years. It has a one-piece leather upper, so there are no lines of stitching to leak or fall apart given mountain abuse. The upper is nice and stiff so a crampon can be fitted in comfort, ...

AKU MICRO GTX

£165.00

Review: These boots were definitely the ‘best in test’ for walking without crampons and although they aren’t the best with crampons, they are more than good enough. The upper is a very warm, one-piece 2.6-2.8mm Nubuk, which looks good and takes knocks well. They have a Gore-Tex membrane to keep water at bay, and the chunky rubber rand means they ...

Alt-Berg Mallerstang 2011

£180.00

If there is one manufacturer that is able to make boots fit everyone then it has to be Alt-Berg. Thanks to their five width fittings it should be easier to get an Alt-Berg boot to fit than any other brand I know. The Mallerstang is only available in a men’s version, however, so half the population will have to miss ...

Scarpa New SL 2010

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years, thanks to a combination of just the right degree of stiffness coupled with enough of an easy walking action to make it comfortable on easier terrain. The one-piece leather upper is virtually free of stitching so there is nothing to wear out or trap grit. As the ...

Mammut Appalachian GTX 2011

£185.00

The Mammut Appalachian GTX weighs in a little lighter than some other comparable boots we looked at, and it also gets a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, which makes the price very impressive compared to alternative options. You don’t get a full leather upper; however the textile is only around the tongue so it should not detract too much from the performance. ...

Scarpa Kinesis Tech GTX 2011

£220.00

First impressions count, and the Scarpa Kinesis Tech GTX clearly sits comfortably within the brand’s heritage of providing truly practical and durable mountain footwear no matter what the terrain. But it’s what’s inside that really sets it apart, as Scarpa has developed the ActiveFit programme to ensure that this boot is comfortable straight from the box.ActiveFit combines a new BD ...

La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX 2011

£225.00

The La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX is the lightest 3-4 season boot we looked at, at just 1724g (size 46 pair), and yet it has the performance to compete alongside the heavier boots even on the toughest terrain. The lightweight upper is made from synthetic materials, but you also get a full rubber rand to add extra durability. The ...
