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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Technicals Nimbus 2009

£65.00

The Technicals Nimbus multi-activity shoe weighs 884g (pair, size 11); mesh upper for maximum breathability; stiffened toe box; reinforcement around shoe for more durability. But no waterproof lining; outsole lug pattern is very shallow and easily clogged so not ideal for grip in mud; very bendy sole unit offers minimal support.

Berghaus Pro Rush Low 2009

£65.00

The Berghaus Pro Rush Low multi-activity shoe weighs 992g (pair, size 11); very breathable upper; very aggressive lug pattern on sole; reasonable protection around the toe; good underfoot cushioning; good sole flex for running; ideal for trekking in dry conditions. But not waterproof; not quite as good for running as a dedicated running shoe.

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 ...

inov-8 Roclite 295 2009

£70.00

The inov-8 Roclite 295 multi-activity shoe weighs 680g (pair, size 11); very breathable upper; extremely aggressive sole stud pattern; heel area is fairly supportive; abrasion-resistant layers improve durability at toe; soft flex is ideal for running. But toe box softer than most; upper very soft; others more supportive of the foot; others are more versatile for multi-activity.

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 ...

Brasher Diabolo Low XCR

£70.00

These multi-activity shoes from Brasher are well padded and low-cut, and the mesh uppers mould to your feet straight away. The lacing system ensures a really secure fit, and I like the softness in the tongue. Despite having a chunky, grippy sole and waterproof XCR lining, they are light, and feel equally at home on the trail and in the ...

Nike Air Pegasus +25 ESC 2009

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 ...

Patagonia Huckleberry 2009

The Patagonia Huckleberry multi-activity shoe weighs 992g (pair, size 11); comfortable with cool climbing style; precise fit thanks to lacing extending to toe; rubber toe reinforcement; Vibram sole unit; durable upper design; made with large amounts of recycled materials. But no waterproof lining; sole lugs not quite as aggressive as some other options.

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 ...

The Teva Sunkosi multi-activity shoe weighs 712g (pair, size 11); mesh upper; excellent sole comfort; snug elasticated lacing system; good toe bumper; sole has good grip, good stiffness and drainage holes. But not waterproof and not as protective, hard-wearing or supportive as more conventional shoes; others are better for scrambling, biking or walking on rough terrain.

Salomon Extend Low XCR

£80.00

These multi-activity shoes from Salomon are quite roomy, both in volume and width, which combined with substantial padding, makes them very comfortable from the off. The shock-absorbing footbed enhances the comfort. They’re warm in action, though, probably due to the fairly sparse use of fabric in the upper. A medium-stiff midsole makes them easy to walk in, but takes the ...

Meindl Emotion XCR

This is a roomy multi-activity shoe from Meindl, but the superb Variofix lacing system helps hold it securely on your foot, making it a pleasure to walk in. It’s well padded, without being over the top, and there’s enough mesh in the uppers to keep feet reasonably cool. However, it’s very low-cut at the ankle, which will suit some, but ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Eruption HPi

£80.00

A very lightweight and flexible shoe and instantly comfortable, but not enough support for really rugged terrain. A good lacing system will keep your feet firmly in place. Treated with ion-mask – a revolutionary new process that makes the actual fabric waterproof, although the upper of the Eruption is mesh so water can still get in if it rains or ...

Keen Targhee

These multi-activity shoes from Keen have slightly odd sizing, and might feel a little uncomfortable at first, as the bulbous bumper presses into your toes. But they feel great after a few miles, holding your feet in place perfectly and offering plenty of protection. They are quite warm. The reasonably stiff midsole is well-suited to more rugged terrain, while the ...

The North Face Hedgehog XCR

£80.00

Good midsole support, which will be appreciated on rougher ground. Fitwise, they are made around an average last, and they have plenty of padding. There is an odd ridge running down the centre of the footbed, though, and this felt very disconcerting. In action, the very low ankle encourages fast movement but doesn’t offer as much support as most shoes ...
