Hi-Tec Altitude II

£30.00

These sandals from Hi-Tec are not as comfortable as some at first, but some tweaking soon ensures a good fit with plenty of support. The neoprene-lined straps feel very comfortable next to your skin, and the soft microfibre footbeds are great. Great to walk in, offering plenty of support and good traction. The footbeds hold your feet still, even when ...

Karrimor Whirlwind Weathertite 2010

£50.00

At just £50 the Karrimor Whirlwind Weathertite offers an incredible set of features and a good performance to match. It is based around a conventional design of synthetic leather and mesh on the upper with a waterproof lining from Weathertite. The result should be dry feet as well as good breathability from that mesh, and good durability from the synthetic ...

Hi-Tec Tauranga

£50.00

Although heavy and a bit clompy when first on, and not exactly top of the style stakes, the Tauranga is a capable walking shoe. They have a solid sole that gives good protection over rough ground and provides decent levels of support on stony terrain. The tread leaves a bit to be desired, though, with a very shallow pattern, although ...

The North Face Momentum II 2009

£55.00

The superb price and weight set the The North Face Momentum II multi-activity shoe apart from others. But it also benefits from a very functional sole unit that is well-cushioned and also reasonably grippy, which makes it ideal for off-road running. Heel support is great too, which again adds to its performance when running. The upper is mesh and very ...

Contour Track

£55.00

These multi-activity shoes from Contour are very comfortable, with padded mesh uppers and a secure fit. The stiffness in the midsole and fairly high ankle cuff provide good support over most types of terrain, and there is adequate protection at the toe and heel. The Tracks are quite heavy, mainly because of the chunky sole and extra padding on the ...

New Balance MR749GY 2010

£58.00

The New Balance MR749GY weighs 660g (pair, size 11) dedicated running shoe; well-cushioned heel; supportive heel; aggressive outsole lug pattern for mud; good stiffness in sole to resist rocks; upper extremely breathable; water can escape. But limited to trail running and ‘fast and light’ movement; not as durable as others; not waterproof.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Radar Event

£60.00

This multi-activity shoe comes at a superb price for what you’re getting. The V-Lite Radar eVent is very light and yet it boasts the key features that anyone heading outdoors might find useful. Firstly it has a waterproof upper, thanks to its eVent lining. The toe box is very stiff, so it will provide good protection on rocky ground. Underfoot ...

Brasher Argon 2010

£65.00

The weight and the price of the Brasher Argon lift it beyond the average multi-activity shoe. But more importantly there are some good performance features here too. Firstly the upper is reasonably durable thanks to the use of suede and double lines of stitching. It is not waterproof but it is very breathable and more water-resistant than some alternatives. The ...

Karrimor Meridian Low event

£65.00

A bit clumpier than most, mainly courtesy of a very padded upper, but they benefit from a very well-balanced midsole that does a good job of evening out the rough patches without feeling too stiff, and the eVENT waterproof membrane is excellent, keeping water out yet breathing well. They offer good protection for the toe and heel, and the aggressive ...

Salomon Exit 2 Aero

£65.00

An excellent walking shoe for dry weather, the Exit 2 Aero ticks most of the walking shoe boxes: reasonably stiff sole, good tread pattern, great heel hold. It’s let down by a lack of a waterproof lining (although Gore-Tex versions are available) which reduces its usability in the rain. The absence of a membrane coupled with the mesh design does ...

Demon Ultra

£70.00

This is an incredibly functional multi-activity shoe that offers much more than the price or brand name might suggest. The upper is synthetic and leather with double lines of stitching throughout, which will add valuable durability when this rubs up against rock and scree. There is also a solid toe box that protects the foot really well. The heel is ...

Berghaus Vantage XCR

£70.00

These multi-activity shoes from Berghaus are quite a narrow fit, and take a couple of wears before they feel really comfortable. They’re a pleasure to walk in after that, with excellent lacing that really holds your feet in place. They are reasonably well padded, without being too restrictive, and the toe and heel boxes are spot on. Built upon an ...

inov-8 Terroc 330 2010

£70.00

inov-8 is best-known for top-quality lightweight trail and fell running shoes, but they have been widely adopted for less strenuous use too. The Terroc 330 is a less running-specific shoe than many others in inov-8’s range and so it is ideal for day-to-day use as well as fast and light travel. It does not have a waterproof lining, but you ...

Regatta Ghyllbeck

£75.00

Okay for most general walking. They’re never going to set the world alight, but if you’re planning on mostly walking at lower levels then they will be fine. The midsole offers enough flex for them to be comfortable on harder ground, but will lead to fatigue if walking on rough ground for long periods. There is quite a bit of ...

Salomon Exit 2 Peak 2011

£75.00

The Salomon Exit 2 Peak is a relatively low-priced shoe compared to some options, but you still get reasonable performance. So the upper offers good protection and it should be durable, thanks to the use of minimal mesh and extensive areas of suede leather coupled with not too much stitching. There is an extra synthetic overlay around the toe too. ...

Garmont Dragontail 2009

£75.00

The Garmont Dragontail is a multi-activity shoe based on the ‘crag approach’ use of multi-activity footwear. So it gets a good, stiff sole unit with sticky rubber to provide great grip on rock as well as being stiff enough to stand on edges easily. A smooth climbing zone around the toe is ideal for more technical climbs. There is good ...

Nike Air Pegasus +25 ESC 2009

£75.00

The Nike Air Pegasus +25 ESC multi-activity shoe weighs good 800g (pair, size 11); good cushioning for road and hard tracks; extremely breathable upper; lots of support and cushioning for hard surfaces; good stiffness in sole; excellent price and weight. But a deeper lug pattern would be better for mud; non-runners would benefit from them being waterproof; others offer more ...

Merrell Chameleon II Slam XCR

£75.00

This multi-activity shoe from Merrell is quite small, so you may have to go up half a size. It’s a little tight in the toes, but well-padded, and the lacing works really well, wrapping the upper around the foot. With no leather at all, it’s fairly breathable, too. The Chameleon feels really good on, and does an excellent job on ...

La Sportiva B5 2010

£75.00

The La Sportiva B5 weighs 1104g (pair, size 11); suede upper with rand for durability; unique sticky rubber outsole with lugs to increase braking downhill; good stiffness in sole for climbing; lacing extends close to toe. But not waterproof; sole is limited to climbing as it is very smooth.

Scarpa Web XCR

£75.00

These multi-activity shoes from Scarpa feel great straight from the box, and the soft mesh uppers mould comfortably around your foot. The ankles are quite low, which helps keep your feet cool, but makes them slightly less supportive than some over really rough ground. They don’t need much lacing to keep them secure, though, and your feet stay comfortable in ...

La Sportiva Trango Light Low

£75.00

Will especially suit wide feet. Instantly comfortable, with soft uppers and a nice rolling action in the sole, which grips well too, especially on rock. Uppers offer a fair amount of water-resistance but no waterproof lining. There’s enough mesh in the uppers for some breathability, and a rubber bumper at the toe and heel will ensure feet stay protected from ...

Lafuma Otava

£75.00

Like most multi-activity shoes , the Otava has a Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining, and at this price it has to compete with many similar models. However there are some slight benefits to this shoe over others. Notably the upper has leather reinforcement around the lower edges, to add vital durability when crossing rock and scree. The toe gets reinforcement too. ...

Carn first appeared on the outdoor scene in 2009 and has created some useful shoes and boots. The Viper is a very practical choice for outdoor activity. It boasts an eVent waterproof lining, which is protected by a tough synthetic upper. Inside there is antimicrobial treatment too, which should prevent this becoming as smelly as some footwear. Also inside you ...

Inov8 multi-activity shoes were originally designed for trail- and fell-running, but they have been widely adopted for less strenuous use, with many people wearing them all day. Travellers and ‘fast and light’ hill-walkers will love them too. This is a Gore-Tex XCR-lined waterproof version, so it will keep your feet drier than most. The upper is made from mesh too, ...
