Mammut Appalachian GTX 2011

£185.00

The Mammut Appalachian GTX weighs in a little lighter than some other comparable boots we looked at, and it also gets a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, which makes the price very impressive compared to alternative options.

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV 2010

£200.00

Hi-Tec V-Lite Belleville WPi

£80.00

A lightweight walking boot with a low ankle cuff that will suit many walkers, but won’t provide enough support for high-level terrain. On the plus side, this will help keep the boots feeling cool. They excelled on low-level terrain, with a supportive midsole, good shock absorption, and a nice rolling action in the sole. The ion-mask technology works amazingly well, ...
