La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX 2011

£225.00

The La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX is the lightest 3-4 season boot we looked at, at just 1724g (size 46 pair), and yet it has the performance to compete alongside the heavier boots even on the toughest terrain. The lightweight upper is made from synthetic materials, but you also get a full rubber rand to add extra durability. The ...

Scarpa SL Activ 2011

£220.00

The SL Activ is the latest version of the multi-award-winning and quintessential 3-4 season boot, the Scarpa SL. This new version holds true to the heritage of this boot by having a good stiff sole with an aggressive lug pattern, so you can kick the edges into the snow or crunch through scree with stability and comfort. But now you ...

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. You don’t get a full leather upper; however the textile is only around the tongue so it should not detract too much from the performance. ...

Alt-Berg Mallerstang 2011

£180.00

If there is one manufacturer that is able to make boots fit everyone then it has to be Alt-Berg. Thanks to their five width fittings it should be easier to get an Alt-Berg boot to fit than any other brand I know. The Mallerstang is only available in a men’s version, however, so half the population will have to miss ...

First impressions count, and the Scarpa Kinesis Tech GTX clearly sits comfortably within the brand’s heritage of providing truly practical and durable mountain footwear no matter what the terrain. But it’s what’s inside that really sets it apart, as Scarpa has developed the ActiveFit programme to ensure that this boot is comfortable straight from the box.ActiveFit combines a new BD ...

Scarpa New SL 2010

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years, thanks to a combination of just the right degree of stiffness coupled with enough of an easy walking action to make it comfortable on easier terrain. The one-piece leather upper is virtually free of stitching so there is nothing to wear out or trap grit. As the ...

Brasher Kanaga Peak 2010

£155.00

With a swing of my leg, the edge of my boot slashed a step in the snow that was wide enough to support my weight. Another swing and another step followed. Onward and upward, step by step, I climbed into the chilly Lakeland fells. I was wearing the Brasher Kanaga GTX, a new winter boot from a brand best known ...

Scarpa New SL 2009

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years. It is a classic design that is ideal for British conditions with a one-piece leather upper that is virtually free of stitching to fail, and its 2.8mm thickness means it is very water-resistant. Treat this material regularly with proofing products and it will last a lifetime and ...

AKU MICRO GTX

£165.00

Review: These boots were definitely the ‘best in test’ for walking without crampons and although they aren’t the best with crampons, they are more than good enough. The upper is a very warm, one-piece 2.6-2.8mm Nubuk, which looks good and takes knocks well. They have a Gore-Tex membrane to keep water at bay, and the chunky rubber rand means they ...

Zamberlan Mountain Lite HBS 2008

£155.00

The Zamberlan Mountain Lite is a 3-4 season boot that incorporates the classic features that have been popular for British mountain walking for many years. It has a one-piece leather upper, so there are no lines of stitching to leak or fall apart given mountain abuse. The upper is nice and stiff so a crampon can be fitted in comfort, ...

Meindl Vakuum GTX

£150.00

Fully lined with Meindl’s Memory Foam System (MFS), Meindl’s Vakuum GTX boots are soft and comfy to pull on. They are a little too roomy at the toe though, making them feel clumsy, and it is hard to get a stable fit without lacing them very tightly. These are rugged boots that excel high up the mountain. They handle a ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GTX

£155.00

The cuff of the Asolo Powermatic 500 GTX may rub slightly on your lower shin at first, but this soon softens, making them very comfortable indeed. They are quite narrow at the toe, but lace up easily, so eliminating any toe banging. They out-perform the competition with a crampon on, but lose out by a whisker for general high-level walking. ...

Raichle Mt Peak XT

£170.00

A frequent Trail favourite 3-4 season boot, the Mount Peak XT now gets a full rubber rand, to make it even better for the winter walker than a year ago. The boot is based around a quality leather upper that is not one-piece, but it has minimal stitching. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining too. The double tongue of last ...
