Columbia Talus Ridge Mid (2012)

£130.00

These feel more like a high-ankled running shoe than a walking boot. They are incredibly light, with great cushioning underfoot, but they lack much protection in and around the upper section. For a walker, the design makes them a great option for warmer days on easier ground – the lack of solid toe protection in particular can be a bit ...

Hi-Tec V-Lite Buxton Mid WP (2012)

£75.00

This is a sub-£100 boot built for paths and trails, and best-suited to lower-level walking away from rocky mountain tops. The medium-soft sole provides reasonable amounts of support and cushioning, giving good padding on harder terrain such as roads and stone paths. The uppers are very soft, making breaking-in easy. Grip-wise, their reasonably wide-spaced lugs give some traction, although they ...

Keen Siskiyou Mid WP (2012)

£85.00

Here’s another in the breed of lightweight, flexible mid-height boots that have more in common with multi-activity shoes than traditional stiff and heavy walking boots. As a result, they’re at their best when used in a range of low-level terrain, without too many challenging features to get in the way. Grip levels are good for drier conditions and some mud, ...

Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex (2012)

£110.00

These are more like a mid-cut version of a multi-activity shoe than a traditional boot. This means they lack the protection and support of a sturdier model. Of course, in return they do offer great comfort levels, with the combination of a soft sole unit and flexible mesh and mixed-material uppers providing great comfort right out of the box. Although ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX (2012)

£100.00

This is a great boot for lower-level walking, offering great comfort levels. The sole unit is fairly soft, and so works well on less challenging terrain. The middling levels of ankle support also make for good comfort levels, but it’s not so great on rougher terrain, especially with the softer upper construction. The fit is fairly relaxed and best-suited to ...

Hi-Tec Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi 2011

£100.00

Forgoing a waterproof liner, with the Altitude Ultra Luxe WPi, Hi-Tec instead use an Ion-Mask plasma treatment that makes the fabric repel water. This is a good addition to a leather boot especially as this version features more stitching (potential leak points) than it did when Trail tested it in 2010. The ankle cuff is a good height, being not ...

Jack Wolfskin Crosshike Mid Texapore 2011

£100.00

The first thing I noticed with the Jack Wolfskin Crosshike Mid Texapore was how padded and comfortable it felt when I first put it on – it was like wearing a pair of slippers! The laces are held in place over your foot with fabric lace loops, which helps prevent them digging in at any pressure points; and though the ...

Regatta Alpha Pro VXT 2011

£95.00

Regatta’s new boot for 2011 – the Alpha Pro VXT – marks the first time the brand has used Vibram soles – and they’ve certainly chosen to shout about it with bright yellow panels splashed throughout the rubber. Colour aside, the lugs are suitably deep and widely spaced to give good grip on muddy ground, though the heel breast is ...

Mammut has a wide range of footwear products that extend from cross-trainers for multi-activity sports to full mountaineering boots for Himalayan climbs. The new Light Hiking range places the Mercury as its flagship product, thanks to its incredibly low weight coupled with springy underfoot cushioning and a striking design.

£180.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS features nubuck leather; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; memory foam; rubber rand for durability; excellent sole unit for general hill-walking; proven performance and frequent Trail’s ‘Best in Test’ winner.

The Lowa Khumbu GTX Mid weighs 1672g (pair, size 11); suede and synthetic fabric upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; good Vibram sole unit with widely spaced, fairly deep lugs; good sole stiffness.

Merrell Outbound Mid Gore-Tex 2011

£140.00

The Merrell Outbound Mid Gore-Tex weighs 1252g (pair, size 5); synthetic upper, Gore-Tex waterproof lining; huge rubber rand for durability; solid toe box for rockier ground; very aggressive Vibram outsole. But sole flex is softer than expected for such an aggressive stud and upper design; the mid-cut ankle cuff is also unusual for such an aggressively built boot.

The Mammut Teton GTX weighs 1584g (pair, size 11); leather and fabric upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; Vibram sole with aggressive pattern of lugs and good stiffness; firm toe box with good rubber rand for durability.

The North Ridge Tower Event weighs 1704g (pair, size 11); full-grain leather upper; eVent waterproof lining; rubber rand around toe; Vibram sole unit with extremely deep lug pattern for grip and durability; good stiffness in sole unit.

The Salomon Comet 3D GTX weighs 1308g (pair, size 11); suede and fabric upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; instantly comfy due to soft upper; deep lug pattern for grip in mud; rubber toe reinforcement for durability.

Contour Trail 2011

£90.00

The Contour Trail weighs 308g (pair, size 11); synthetic fabric and suede upper; Hydroban waterproof lining; good outsole lug pattern for grip in mud; well-cushioned sole unit for use on hard surfaces. But the sole is very bendy and the upper is relatively soft and flexible, which restricts best performance to valley paths rather than more rugged terrain.
