Peter Storm Adventure

£40.00

This lightweight multi-activity shoe from Peter Storm weighs 956g (pair, size 9). It has a waterproof-lined suede leather and mesh upper, rubber toe bumper for durability and a very stiff sole that’s ideal for rocky ground. There’s a reasonable lug pattern on the outsole, providing a good grip on mud and grass and represents superb value for money. However,  spending ...

Regatta Plateau X-LT Trail

£42.00

This multi-activity shoe from Regatta offers a broad and roomy fit, with ample padding, making them very comfortable to wear. The suede/fabric upper isn’t waterproof, which makes it cool and incredibly breathable, and the beefy toe and heel bumpers offer plenty of protection. It's quite low at the ankle, but that’s not a problem. On dry trails the Plateau performs ...

£45.00

The Peter Storm Adventure Low weighs 1040g (pair, size 11); low price; waterproof lining; rubber toe rand; very stiff toe box; stiff outsole ideal for rocky ground; aggressive outsole lug pattern. But it does not feel quite as comfortable or as well-fitting as higher-priced models.

New Balance 573 2011

£45.00

The New Balance 573 weighs 612g (pair, size 8½); mesh upper extremely breathable; good flex for running; supportive heel cup; outsole has a good lug pattern for general running on trails. But as a non-waterproof running shoe it is not so good for valley walking and keeping feet dry; sole stiffness not ideal for walking, scrambling or biking; not as ...

Hi-Tec Multi-Terra Mid WP

£50.00

These multi-activity shoes from Hi-Tec have a fairly flexible midsole and padded upper that makes them feel snug straight from the box. The rolling motion of the sole unit feels a little odd at first, but works well once you get used to it. They are quite a high cut, which will suit some, but can be a little harsh ...

Contour Track

£55.00

A clumsy looking shoe, but it’s well padded and reasonably broad, so feels very comfortable from the box. The speed-lace eyelet makes them easy to get on and off. Feels like a short boot rather than a beefed-up trainer and is reassuringly supportive on the hills. The deep tread is superb on soft ground but it loses out on weight ...

Salomon Exit Aero

£55.00

With a mainly mesh upper and no waterproof lining, this is the cheapest and one of the lightest shoes tested. It has limited midsole support, and leaks like a sieve, but it will work superbly in dry, hot climates or on well-surfaced trails; and will also do a great job for the fast and light brigade, who don’t mind getting ...

Regatta Fast Track X-LT

£60.00

At first glance £60 seems like a good price for a pair of shoes for walking, and it certainly would be if you only really wanted them for casual use and really easy trails, but the Fast Track has a flimsy midsole that lacks the kind of lateral support needed for rough and rocky trails, and the tread pattern doesn’t ...

Hi-Tec V-lite Radar II Event

£60.00

Lightweight, with a lovely soft fabric upper reinforced with narrow strips of synthetic tape that make it feel more like a running shoe than a boot. Great protection and support for such a lightweight shoe. The eVENT lining is both waterproof and breathable and the outsole grips well on most surfaces. Durability may be an issue with heavy use.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Hurricane eVent

£60.00

This multi-activity shoe features an eVent waterproof lining; external skeleton design to protect upper; stiff toe box for boot protection; supportive heel cup; well-cushioned sole; good sole stiffness for a variety of uses; aggressive Vibram lug pattern on the sole; a superb price. But the mesh that extends close to the sole means this won’t be as durable as shoes ...

Regatta Lady Apocalypse X-LT

£65.00

Very reasonably priced shoes, the Lady Apocalypse stand out from the crowd with nicely styled soft shell uppers. The use of soft shell fabric means that they’ll offer great breathability, and feel incredibly comfortable too, with a supportive structure that instantly forms to the shape of your foot from the very first wear. They repel water very well too. The ...

The Helly Hansen Korktrekker 3 Low HT multi-activity shoe weighs 908g (pair, size 11); Helly Tech waterproof lining; suede and synthetic upper; very comfy; outsole has reasonably aggressive lug pattern. But outsole tends to clog; upper very soft and flexible, and lacks protection or support of some others; toe box is soft; lining not as waterproof or as breathable as ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Thunder 2010

£65.00

The Hi-Tec V-Lite Thunder weighs 864g (pair, size 11); ion-mask treated mesh upper provides water resistance; well-cushioned sole; reasonable outlug pattern for tracks; some toe protection; good sole flex for running; good price. But not waterproof; once water enters it cannot escape easily; not most durable on rocky terrain or most grippy in mud.

This lightweight multi-activity shoe from Kayland weighs 1128g (pair, size 11). It has a suede leather and mesh upper; rubber protection for toe; solid toe box for protection; very supportive heel; good cushioning; good sole grip for climbing and scrambling. However, the sole is quite flexible compared to other approach shoes for climbers and it’s not waterproof. The shoe is ...

Hi-Tec Altitude Glide WP

£65.00

Very lightweight walking boots made from full-grain leather. Because they’ve got a low ankle cuff and very forgiving fit, they will especially suit walkers with wide or problem feet. These boots don’t have a waterproof lining – instead the fabric has been treated with ion-mask waterproof technology. This helps keep them lightweight, and also does a great job of keeping ...

There’s an eVent waterproof lining, suede upper with mesh that’s supportive and protective upper, plus a solid toe box with rubber reinforcement and very aggressive Vibram sole unit.

Regatta Lady Formation X-LT 2010

£65.00

The Regatta Lady Formation X-LT weighs 808g (pair, size 5); Isotex waterproof lining; suede and mesh upper; stiffness in toe box protects toes; supportive heel cup; reasonably aggressive outsole lug pattern; good price. But the Isotex waterproof lining is not as breathable as some higher-priced options; a heel breast would add more braking grip on slopes.

Kayland Arya Low

£65.00

This multi-activity shoe features a fabric upper for breathability; leather reinforcement around upper; solid toe box for protection; stiff heel cup for support; good cushioning; Vibram sole unit; reasonably stiff sole for rocky paths. But sole does not have the controlled smooth flex of some shoes, making this feel a little ‘clumpy’; outsole lug pattern is quite shallow, so not ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Thunder Ultra HPi

£65.00

With a totally synthetic upper and no waterproof lining, these are very light shoes, and whilst that means wet feet when wading through puddles or crossing wet grass, it also means a lot less effort on longer walks. Any water that does get in is quickly expelled, and the Ion-Mask treatment means they never feel soggy and do dry out ...

Peter Storm Skiddaw II

£65.00

A light boot, the Skiddaw II is suited to low-level walking thanks to its softer flex and fairly low cuff. In fact, it’s one of the softest out there – giving them good straight-from-the-box comfort. Inside they are cavernous, so possibly good for someone with wider feet. They did remain dry on the inside after a few particularly wet days. ...

Regatta Lady Formation X-LT

£65.00

A forgiving and slightly sloppy last means these are best-suited to women with wide feet. Unfortunately the lacing system is awkward, making it quite hard to get any support across the forefoot. They’re comfortable from the box, though, with plenty of mesh in the uppers to help your feet breathe. The midsole is very soft, especially across the toes, and ...

Helly Hansen Trackfinder

£70.00

TheTrackfinders are very lightweight shoes that look and feel more like a stiff trainer than a multi-activity shoe. There’s a decent amount of lateral stiffness in the midsole, but a very flexible toe restricts them to use on flat trails only. They’re distinct from other women’s shoes as they don’t have a waterproof lining. This doesn’t mean you should dismiss ...

Helly Hansen’s The Korker weighs 852g (pair, size 11); mesh upper for good breathability; leather reinforcement adds durability; aggressive outsole for good grip; very close fit for dexterous movement. But less stable platform than some; not as good for running as dedicated trail shoes; not as stiff as rock-orientated shoes; soft toe box offers little protection.
