Trezeta Juliette 2011

£100.00

I’m just going to say it straight off: a boot called Juliette?! I mean, would you call a man’s boot Romeo (there isn’t a men’s version called this just in case you wondered)? Ultra-feminine names aside, the Trezeta Juliette is a good lightweight boot, the lightest in this test and it still manages to pack in a set of aggressive ...

Lomer Gardena MTX 2011

£100.00

Considering you get a quality leather upper with minimal stitching – to help prevent leaks over long-term use – as well as a waterproof liner, the Lomer Gardena (men’s version is the Tofana) offers superb value for money. Despite the fact it doesn’t use Gore-Tex (which may be more breathable than the Mertex they’ve chosen) a liner means that even ...

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 ...

Brasher Kenai GTX 2011

£100.00

When it comes to soles, striking a balance between bendy enough that you can feel what you’re doing and stiff enough that you’re not groaning at every bump and lump is key. With the Kenai GTX, Brasher seems to have found this balance. Though undeniably bendier than some other models on test, the Kenai (men’s version is the Kiso) does ...

Berghaus Explorer Light GTX 2011

£100.00

Boasting a modern design and a Gore-Tex lining for excellent waterproofness and breathability, the Berghaus Explorer Light GTX is, at first glance, an attractive option. The outsole features a lug pattern, which, though not the deepest here, is widely spaced enough to prevent a build-up of mud between them; and an adequate heel breast will ensure you get a good ...

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 ...

Contour New Navigator 2011

£100.00

With Contour known for producing quality boots for a low price it’s not surprising the New Navigators found their way into the top eight in Trail’s test. The leather upper has hardly any stitching in it, which virtually guarantees durability, and a stiffened toe box provides maximum protection from loose stones. Of all the boots on test, this one has ...

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 ...

Brasher Supalite II GTX 2011

£135.00

In 1978 Chris Brasher, an Olympic gold medallist, designed the Brasher Boot, a walking boot with the comfort of a running shoe. In 2000 his original ideas once again emerged, this time with the Brasher Supalite, one of the lightest leather walking boots ever made. Today’s Supalite II GTX retains the performance, but now with a modern design twist. DesignMaking ...

Berghaus has for many years produced a number of light and well-priced general walking boots that are collectively called the Explorer range. The Explorer Ridge is the leather option, and it comes with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining as well as a very aggressive outsole, so it should be good for a variety of terrain.

Boreal Zanskar 2011

£160.00

The Boreal Zanskar is an extremely robust boot that is well-designed for tackling the roughest of rocky mountain terrain, day after day. It has a leather upper, which itself is pretty durable as there is so little stitching. But what really sets it up for a long life in the hills is the full rubber rand, which is very high ...

Alt-Berg Tethera 2011

£160.00

The Alt-Berg Tethera is very much a traditional hill-walking boot. The upper is built from one piece of leather, so there is no stitching to fray over time. Behind the upper is a Sympatex waterproof lining, so dry feet are virtually guaranteed even if you don’t treat the leather well. Further durability comes from the rubber rand, which extends around ...

Meindl Kansas GTX 2011

£150.00

The Meindl Kansas GTX was new for 2010 and it still looks pretty good today. The boot has a leather upper that is virtually stitch-free, so durability should be pretty good even on rocky ground. A rubber rand around the toe and forefoot adds a little extra protection for rockier ground too. The upper offers good support for the foot, ...

Asolo Imperial GV 2011

£140.00

The Asolo imperial GV is an outstanding price for what you are getting. Firstly this is an upper made from virtually one piece of leather than is at least 2.5mm thick, and this makes it water-resistant, wear-resistant and supportive. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining for really wet Scottish bogs. The lacing extends close to the toe for a more ...

Asolo Flame GTX 2011

£140.00

The Asolo Flame GTX is a well-proven boot that is ideal for many hill-walkers. On first appearances it looks like many other boots, but as soon as you get it on your feet you notice the difference. Although it looks like a normal fabric boot, that upper is very stiff, supportive and protective of the foot. Also the toe box ...

Garmont Tower Lite GTX 2011

£130.00

The sole unit lifts the Garmont Tower Lite GTX above many of its competitors as it has a very good level of stiffness in the sole for its weight. The sole means this boot can cope with rockier ground far better than lesser options. There is a good level of grip from the widely spaced studs as well, and so ...
