Peter Storm Dalmore (2012)

£60.00

These may feel harsh at first because the ankle cuff is quite stiff, but they’ll soon soften up. The fit is wide and forgiving, and while they’re a little short in the toe for the size, they lace up well to provide a fairly secure fit. The ankle cuff is on the low side, while the uppers are quite soft ...

Trezeta Juliette Mid WS (2012)

£100.00

These are the lightest boots in the test at only 470g per foot. The fit is snug for the size – it will especially suit women with narrow feet – and the lacing system easily spreads tension across the foot. The ankle cuff is fairly low, so doesn’t offer much support, and it’s also cut at an odd angle that ...

Contour Trail (2012)

£90.00

These are really comfortable boots that will feel great straight from the box. The fit is supportive yet easy enough to accommodate a variety of foot shapes. They’ve got a nice contemporary look, with metal lacing eyelets and reassuringly tough fabric. The laces are rather short, though – one to watch if you’ve got wide feet and need more room. ...

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 ...

£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. But its weight of 1948g (pair, size 11) is just too heavy by modern standards; the price is too high compared with other options that provide most of ...

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.

£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 Columbia Shastalavista Mid Omni-Tech Leather weighs 1192g (pair, size 11); leather upper is fairly durable; Omni-Tech waterproof lining; toe reinforcement for durability; deep lugs for grip on soft ground. But its mid-cut ankle cuff makes it less than ideal for rough, rocky or boggy terrain; very soft toe box offers minimal protection.

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.
