Hi-Tec Lite Fast Hike II MID WP

£60.00

A bit of a hybrid between a multi-activity shoe and a full-on walking boot, but much closer to the boot end of the spectrum than it is the shoe, with a semi-stiff midsole and some good protection for the toe. The fit’s quite roomy, and with only two speed-lacing eyelets each side of the cuff, it’s not so easy to ...

Regatta Rockfold Mid X-LT

£60.00

The Rockfold is really a high shoe rather than a full-on boot and very much aimed at the more casual walker, with minimal midsole support and a shallow tread pattern that will only really perform on good surfaces.

The North Face Dhaulagiri GTX 2009

£115.00

The North Face Dhaulagiri GTX weighs 1548g (pair, size 11); suede leather upper; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; good cushioning underfoot; Vibram sole unit; good boot for easier terrain.

Peter Storm Skiddaw 2009

£60.00

The Peter Storm Skiddaw weighs 1316g (pair, size 8); full leather upper for maximum durability; waterproof lining; solid toe box for maximum protection; good heel cup for support; good outsole lug pattern for grip. But it has a very flexible sole unit; relatively low ankle cuff compared to most boots; not as well-cushioned as higher-priced options.

Timberland Chocorua 2009

£85.00

The Timberland Chocorua weighs 1208g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex waterproof lining; leather upper panels for extra durability; good underfoot cushioning; reasonable outsole lug pattern; up to size 15 for men and size 11 women’s. But very flexible sole unit and very flexible upper, so not ideal for rocky ground.
