Boreal Strider (2013)

£145.00

The Boreal Strider is lightweight for a leather boot at 1576g (pair, size 11) and yet it also manages to squeeze in a good range of practical features to make it perform well on the hill. Firstly it has a leather upper that’s virtually stitch-free so it should be pretty durable, as there is almost no stitching to fail or ...

Salomon Comet 3D GTX (2013)

£140.00

The Salomon Comet 3D GTX is a very lightweight boot, tipping the scales at 1322g (pair, size 11), which is some 200g less than the Asolo Flame for example. But with that weight loss comes a change in character, as this instantly feels softer and less robust than its heavier competitors. The upper is mostly fabric with some leather overlays, ...

Mammut Redburn Pro (2013)

£100.00

This is the latest option from Mammut’s well-established Redburn range. With its slightly stiffer sole plus a grippier rubber compound to make it better on rock, the Pro is very much an approach- and climbing- directed design. The upper has leather and synthetic panels that, while not fully waterproof, should keep the worst of the water out. There is good ...

Anatom Q3 (2013)

£145.00

Anatom has released a range of good-value boots over recent years, and the Q3 is designed to deliver ‘mountain performance’. For the mountain you get a good leather upper with minimal stitching that’s wonderfully robust and gives a reassuring feel of support and protection. The toe box is particularly stiff compared to many others we looked at, which is ideal ...

Salomon X Ultra GTX (2013)

£110.00

Looks are deceptive, as the Salomon X Ultra GTX is far lighter than it appears at first sight and it actually tips the scales at 912g (pair, size 11), which makes it one of the lightest mountain activity shoes we looked at. It has a synthetic upper with a Gore-Tex lining, which also makes it good value, as other shoes ...

Mammut T Advanced GTX (2013)

£150.00

The Mammut T Advanced GTX is instantly attractive as it is very lightweight at 1456g and has a striking modern design. The boot has a synthetic upper with leather overlays, and this feels quite robust despite its minimal weight. The toe box is very solid at the end but softer toward the laces – so it’s not the ultimate foot ...

The North Face Verbera Lightpacker GTX (2013)

£160.00

The TNF Verbera Lightpacker GTX isn’t as light as its name suggests, because at 1714g (pair, size 11) it’s one of the heaviest models we looked at! But it is a very substantial boot with more mountain performance-orientated features than most lighter options. So behind those striking good looks you’ll find a textile upper with a suede leather overlay at ...

Berghaus Prognosis GTX (2013)

£100.00

The Berghaus Prognosis GTX is updated for 2013 to make it more suitable for a wider range of activities. It weighs just 920g (pair, size 11), so it’s ideal for ‘fast and light’ activity as well as general travel. The upper is mostly mesh with some reinforcement at the toe and heel but there’s not much compared to more robust ...

Scarpa Mustang (2013)

£160.00

The Scarpa Mustang is the latest addition to the popular Zero Gravity (ZG) range from Scarpa. As that name implies, it is reasonably lightweight, but it’s not the lightest in this test. It has a synthetic fabric upper with suede overlays, and this area of the boot is reasonably stiff, supportive and protective of the foot, making it good for ...

inov-8 Terroc 330/308 (2013)

£95.00

inov-8 has dominated the ‘fast and light’ market recently, due to its practice of stripping out weight from footwear. The Terroc 330 (men’s)/308 (women’s) has been around in various guises for some years and the latest version sees the mesh upper being replaced by a synthetic non-mesh material, which will keep more water out but won’t be as breathable. The ...

Asolo Flame GTX/Atlantis GTX (2013)

£150.00

The Asolo Flame GTX/Atlantis GTX is a very well-established model that on first appearance resembles many other boots with a synthetic upper. But flex it between the toe and heel, and immediately it’s clear that this boot is far more supportive and robust than many similar-looking models. That synthetic upper is actually pretty stiff and provides great protection for the ...

Adidas Terrex Fast R (2013)

£110.00

The Adidas Terrex Fast R manages to keep the weight down while packing in the performance needed to move across a wide variety of terrain. At the heart of the design is a synthetic construction very much built around the Traxion sole unit. The sole is extremely aggressive, with a pattern of deep, widely spaced studs in the forefoot and ...

Scarpa Vortex (2013)

£120.00

The Scarpa Vortex is a shoe with a more aggressive sole unit than most, which gives it instant appeal to those who need something with good grip for walking over muddier ground. A Vibram sole unit provides that extra grip, thanks to a set of lugs that are deeper than others, coupled with a respectably large heel breast for good ...

Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX (2013)

£130.00

The Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX is a unique shoe due to its sole, which is specifically designed for climbing via ferrata ladders; but also because it combines the need for a shoe that is ideal for the more technical aspects of climbing with a great performance when approaching the rock over scree or mud. The Vibram sole unit has very ...

Merrell Chameleon 5 GTX (2013)

£120.00

The Merrell Chameleon 5 GTX is a good general-purpose shoe for outdoor activity built around an aggressive sole unit and stylish upper. The upper is made from pig suede with mesh panels and a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, and it benefits from extra stiffness in the heel cup and a rubber rand at the toe. But the toe box is very ...

Haglöfs Vertigo II GT (2013)

£130.00

The Haglöfs Vertigo II GT is a well-proven outdoor workhorse that can cope with the toughest of conditions. It has a leather upper and a fabric tongue with minimal stitching to wear out and fail. But also the upper is very stiff and supportive, so you can kick through rubble when approaching crags without fear of damaging your foot or ...

AKU Tribute GTX (2013)

£155.00

The AKU Tribute GTX weighs in at just 1462g (pair, size 11), which considering it’s a leather boot is very respectable. The upper is free of too many frills, with just 2mm thick full-grain leather and minimal stitching throughout. The upper is quite soft, but there’s stiffening in the toe box to protect the feet from stray boulders and stiffening ...

Boreal Aztec (2013)

£100.00

Boreal is perhaps best-known for making more climbing- and mountaineering- orientated footwear, but the Aztec is an example of what it can produce for hillwalkers – and at this price it offers a great deal for the money. It has a fabric and leather upper like most mountain activity shoes, but it benefits from a little more support than most ...

Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX (2013)

The Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX is extremely light for a leather boot as it weighs in at just 1358g (pair, size 46) and while it may not boast the stunning good looks of some more striking models, when you do take a closer look it has some pretty good design features for tackling British hills. To begin with you’re getting ...

Meindl Kansas (2013)

Meindl has a well-established reputation for producing extremely comfortable and durable leather hillwalking boots, and the Kansas follows this trend. It has a full leather upper that instantly feels robust in the hand. There’s a rubber rand around the toe box to improve durability on rockier ground, although as there’s so little stitching and so few separate panels, this boot ...

Brasher Hillmaster II (2013)

£150.00

The Hillmaster has for many years been described as ‘Britain’s most loved boot’ by Brasher, and it has certainly been popular for decades thanks to its instant comfort straight from the box. What set the Hillmaster apart 30 years ago was its weight, comfort and performance. Today there are lighter boots than the Hillmaster but it still offers great comfort ...

Keen Bryce Low (2013)

£110.00

Keen shoes have unique styling around the forefoot, which tends to be a bit broader than most with a protective roll of rubber over the toe box. In the Bryce Low these features are brought together to form a mountain activity-style shoe with a twist of finesse. The upper is nubuck leather, rather than the thinner suede of other shoes, ...

Bergans of Norway Super Lett Jacket (2013)

£150.00

The Super Lett from Bergans is a lightweight jacket at 435g (size men’s L), but what makes it better than many lightweight jackets is that it is made from a 3-layer fabric, so you get less clammy when wearing it. The price is a bit higher than other lightweights, but you do at least get a proper hood, unlike many ...

First test: Meindl Toronto GTX (2013)

Meindl revolutionised the comfort of hillwalking footwear in the early Nineties by making durable leather boots that were far more comfortable than they had ever been before. But now what we all want from a boot isn’t just about comfort; it’s also about weight and most recently price. The Toronto has been designed especially for the UK market to offer ...

Montane Atomic (2013)

£110.00

One of Montane’s stable of thoroughbred jackets, the Atomic is a well-proven performer. It is made from 2.5-layer Pertex Shield, so you tend to notice any condensation that forms on the inside a little more easily than jackets with a mesh lining or 3-layer jackets. But the benefits are low weight and small packed size, which make this ideal for ...
