Anatom V3 2011

£110.00

The Anatom V3 weighs 1524g (pair, size 11); suede leather and synthetic upper; Tri.aria waterproof lining; Vibram sole unit with good, deep lugs for grip and wide spacing to prevent clogging. But sole unit is surprisingly bendy, limiting performance on rockier ground; boots with less stitching may be more durable; lambswool footbed is not as comfy as standard footbeds; toe ...

£125.00

The Rohan Lapka Tech weighs 1416g (pair, size 11); synthetic and suede upper; Barricade waterproof lining; very aggressive Vibram outsole lug pattern for mud; good sole stiffness for rocky ground; solid toe box for protection.

Merrell Siren Ventilator Waterproof MID

£80.00

An incredibly soft, lightweight and comfortable boot that is really a mid-height multi-activity shoe. They flex easily and breathe exceptionally well, making them a good choice for casual summer walking. They’ll keep out water, too. A good lacing system ensures a snug enough fit, and the moulded heels help keep feet comfortably in place. The very low ankles don’t provide ...

AKU Ultra Light GTX

£145.00

A surprisingly narrow and unforgiving fit that will only suit women with narrow feet. They’re lightweight, though, with a soft, medium-high ankle cuff. The Gore-Tex lining will keep your feet dry, and the suede and mesh uppers are very breathable. But the very lightweight sole and narrow heel don’t provide much shock absorption, which doesn’t inspire confidence on rough terrain, ...

Grisport Ascent

£57.50

The Ascents are soft and comfortable unisex boots that will especially suit walkers with wide feet. They’re best-suited to low-level terrain, as the soft uppers and flexible midsole don’t provide much support. However, they have a a chunky sole that grips well, especially on rock, and the heel and toe are reinforced to protect from knocks. They’re very lightweight, and ...

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. In its favour, it’s superbly comfortable, thanks to a broad, boxy fit and a substantial amount of padding, and the waterproof lining ...

£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. But minimal stiffness in sole and toe box so not as impressive as hyped-up appearance suggests; pricy; sole lugs not as aggressive as some others.

Hi-Tec V-Lite Altitude Ultra Ion-Mask 2009

£90.00

Until recently a walking boot would be made waterproof either by fitting a waterproof lining on the inside or by regularly treating the outside. But are these the most eco-friendly or most efficient waterproof treatments available? According to Hi-Tec, its new Ion-Mask treatment creates less of an environmental impact and does not require repeated application. Better still, it does not ...

Merrell Chameleon Arc Mid 2009

£85.00

The Merrell Chameleon Arc Mid weighs 952g (pair, size 5); waterproof lining; rubber toe bumper; Vibram outsole with reasonable stiffness. But it’s a mid-cut boot so not as protective as those with higher ankle cuff; outsole lugs not as good as some others for grip as no heel breast; upper not as durable as those with less stitching; upper not ...

Berghaus Torc ST 2009

£120.00

The Berghaus Torc ST weighs1728g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex waterproof lining; rubber rand around much of the upper for maximum durability; extremely aggressive outsole lug pattern; stiff upper and sole for rough terrain. But rubber on upper bunches uncomfortably at flex point; all that rubber is likely to make this boot hot and sweaty.
