Regatta Rockfold Mid X-LT £60
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... Click here for the full review and star rating

Karrimor KSB Peak II eVENT £80
Broad at the toe, yet narrow at the heel, the KSBs have a fairly distinctive fit. They’re reasonably well padded, feeling good from the word go, yet not too hot in milder conditions. The boots have a moderately stiff... Click here for the full review and star rating

Brasher Towa GTX
£110
The Towa is wide and roomy at the toe but quite narrow at the heel so it needs quite careful lacing to avoid toe-bang on descents. The tongue and ankle cuff are well padded and they feel great when... Click here for the full review and star rating

Hi-Tec Lite Fast Hike II MID WP
£60
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... Click here for the full review and star rating

Mammut Scout GTX
£100
Quite a broad boot and less padding than most tested so doesn’t feel quite as luxurious as some when first pulled on. It doesn’t take long to soften, though, and it soon moulds around the foot, providing the fit’s right. It’s quite... Click here for the full review and star rating

£135
The Softline has a pretty standard fit and is a sturdy boot. Less padding than most, so it takes a little more wearing-in than some. It’s quite tall at the ankle and therefore one... Click here for the full review and star rating

Berghaus Explorer Trek GTX £90
The Explorer is quite a wide boot, and this combined with some quite thick padding makes it feel great from the box. The lacing is good enough to get a decent, stable fit even with a slimmer foot, but it’s not as high... Click here for the full review and star rating

£130
A well-padded boot that feels great from the box. It’s quite a chunky boot, with a very high ankle cuff, but it’s not too heavy, and the lacing is excellent, making it really easy to get a stable fit. It struggled... Click here for the full review and star rating

£110
The ZG65 is slightly narrow, but the uppers are soft and pliable so it’ll accommodate most feet given a few wears. It’s well-padded, and feels very light, but a locking eyelet at the top of the foot would make it easier... Click here for the full review and star rating

Zamberlan Rise GT MNS £135
A heavy boot, but it doesn’t actually feel heavy on, due to an excellent fit, with a narrow heel that almost grips the foot and a sweet rolling action that seems to propel the foot forward. It’s reasonably... Click here for the full review and star rating

£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... Click here for the full review and star rating

£145
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... Click here for the full review and star rating

Hanwag Banks Lady GTX
£125
Plenty of padding makes the Banks feel as comfortable as slippers. Be warned, though – lots of padding and a Gore-Tex lining will result in very sweaty feet in warmer weather. The suede uppers are... Click here for the full review and star rating |

Merrell Siren Ventilator Waterproof MID

The North Face Dhaulagiri GTX
£115
Plenty of padding on the ankle cuff and tongue, and soft mesh uppers, make the Dhaulagiris exceptionally comfortable, straight from the box. The ankle cuff is very high to... Click here for the full review and star rating

Asolo Atlantis GTX
£130
The Atlantis is a very sturdy boot, with Asolo’s new Active Heel Support which cradles the heel and offers really good shock absorption. The toe box is a little on the narrow side, but an excellent lacing system should... Click here for the full review and star rating |
