Zamberlan Baltoro 2011

£170.00

A winner of past Trail ‘Best Value’ accolades, the Zamberlan Baltoro remains an excellent choice for hillwalking throughout the year. The instant appeal is that slightly lower price tag than some of the opposition, and you are still getting a very good package of features.

Millet Bouthan/Sikkim 2010

£200.00

The Bouthan/Sikkim is a superb mountain boot from Millet. It is built around an almost one-piece leather upper, with just a small additional panel down the sides of the tongue. So this is incredibly durable, as there is so little stitching. There is also a Gore-Tex lining for waterproof protection and a full rubber rand to add further durability. Inside ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV 2010

£200.00

The Asolo Powermatic 500 GV was competitively priced in 2009 at £160 and it easily took the ‘Best Value’ award. However for 2010 the price has jumped by £40, but the features stay the same. You get a one-piece leather upper with a waterproof lining, so even if you don’t look after the upper properly you have a good chance ...

Garmont Tower GTX 2010

£189.00

The Garmont Tower GTX is a very modern Alpine-style boot that bridges the gap between walking and climbing boots extremely well. So you get a relatively lightweight upper made from synthetic materials, some leather and a waterproof lining. The upper has a very precise toe fit thanks to the lacing extending to the toe plus an excellent profile for scrambling, ...

Zamberlan Baltoro 2010

£160.00

Zamberlan has always made top-quality boots, and the Baltoro has been designed for the British hill-walker who is heading to the Scottish hills and other 3,000ft peaks in the Lakes and Snowdonia. You get a one-piece leather upper, so there is no stitching to fray on the rock and that also means there is very little chance of leakage. A ...

Alt-Berg Mallerstang II 2010

£170.00

Alt-Berg has been making boots in the UK since 1989; but more importantly these boots come in five width fittings and can even be made to measure (at extra cost), so there is no reason for a poor fit if you invest in Alt-Berg footwear. The Mallerstang II is a classic 3-4 season hill and mountain boot. The  2.8mm one-piece ...

Brasher Kanaga GTX 2010

£155.00

The Brasher Kanaga GTX appeared in March 2010 and it is a great general winter walking boot. The upper is leather for durability with a rubber rand for extra protection. Inside the boot there is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining too. The Kanaga has a stiff upper and a supportive ankle cuff, which makes walking in snow and ice far more ...

Boreal Zanskar Tech 2010

£170.00

The Zanskar Tech is a new Boreal boot designed for trekking and relatively light mountain ascents, while retaining the performance needed for more challenging terrain. So it has a leather upper with a waterproof lining that features Sympatex, a well-proven waterproof lining for boots due to its ability to stretch without leaking. The upper is well-protected by a high rubber ...

Asolo Flame GTX

£150.00

Excellent for high mountain use with a high and stiff ankle cuff that offers plenty of support and hefty protection at the toe and heel. The midsole is great for uneven, hard ground but perhaps a little too stiff for easier going, and the outsole provided good traction on most surfaces. The lacing is excellent, so easy to get just ...

Trezeta Top Evo 2010

£170.00

The timing could not have been better. With the snow melting from the valley, while the summits remained plastered in snow and ice, the Top Evo arrived on my doorstep. This new model from Italian brand Trezeta is a 3-4 season, or B1-rated, boot – which means it is flexible enough to be comfortable below the snow, but stiff enough ...

AKU Utah Micro 2009

£200.00

The AKU Utah Micro 3-4 season boot has a unique tongue design that means there is virtually no stitching to leak or fray on the upper, even alongside the sides of the tongue. The upper is going to be hardwearing but there is also a rubber rand around the boot to make it even more durable, which is ideal for ...

Kayland Apex Trek 2009

£190.00

The Kayland Apex Trek 3-4 season boot is very lightweight for its class and yet it benefits from a great package of features and is no slouch in terms of performance either.

Zamberlan Mountain Lite HBS 2009

£180.00

The Zamberlan Mountain Lite HBS is a very traditional 3-4 season boot that incorporates the classic features that many more mature walkers will have tried, tested and decided are ideal for British hill-walking. It has a one-piece leather upper, which means it is likely to last a long time as there is nothing to fall apart. To make the boot ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV 2009

£160.00

Unlike many other 3-4 season boots, the Asolo Powermatic 500 GV boot has managed to hold its price this winter, which makes it a superb buy for the money. You get a one-piece leather upper with a waterproof lining, so even though the upper is going to be tough and very water-resistant, it has a waterproof lining to make it ...

ZAMBERLAN MOUNTAIN LITE HBS

£155.00

Review: There’s something very reassuring about the feel of a one-piece, full-grain leather upper, and the Mountain Lite felt fantastic from the minute it was on. The fit is about average and it’s beautifully padded, so good from the box. The lacing works well, providing a stable and secure fit; and the tall ankle cuff offers plenty of support on ...

Meindl Himalaya MFS 2008

£175.00

The Meindl Himalaya MFS is a very tough 3-4 season boot that will withstand many years of abuse on the hill, thanks to the huge rubber rand that encloses the upper. There is also a Gore-Tex lining for extra protection against the wet. The ankle cuff is quite high, so you get lots of support when backpacking with heavy rucksacks ...

AKU Utah Micro 2008

The AKU Utah Micro is quite a lightweight 3-4 season boot but it’s not light on functionality, and looks it ideal for general year round hill-walking on a mix of terrain. The upper is a simple, single-piece leather design and the unusual tongue has virtually no stitching to leak or fray. A Gore-Tex waterproof lining guarantees dry feet, and a ...

AKU Utah Micro GTX

£170.00

If I could only have one pair of boots in my outdoors wardrobe, they’d be crampon-compatible and stiff enough to hold an edge in the snow, yet flexible enough to allow comfortable walking below the snowline . Sadly, such products are few and far between. However, occasionally a manufacturer pulls up its socks and delivers just what I am after ...

Scarpa SL

£155.00

With so much padding, the Scarpa SL feels extremely comfy at first and this will convince a lot of people, but the standard fitting could prove a little too narrow for some feet. There is a wider option though. The low-cut, flexible ankle suits ordinary walking, but it lacked support on steeper slopes with a crampon. No waterproof lining, but ...

Kayland Apex Trek

This is a new 3-4 season boot that’s bursting with credibility. I love the low weight, especially when you realise that it is not lacking performance either. The upper is a mix of fabric and leather plus a waterproof lining and a big rubber rand to prevent scrapes with rocks ruining the upper. There’s excellent stiffness in the toe and ...

Scarpa New SL

£155.00

This was the benchmark 3-4 season boot for many years. The current version offers less support to the ankle. In a way this is good as this new ankle certainly allows an easier walking action. The boot is also lighter too. You get the same one-piece leather upper and very aggressive sole unit. That stiff upper is ideal for use ...
