Walking Boots: Merrel Chameleon Arc 2 Rival
I tested these completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge - a 12 hour hike where you conquer three mountains. I needed shoes that were stable, able to withstand that grim Yorkshire rain and left me nimble footed while scrambling rocks, and the Chameleon Arc 2s were just the ticket. The combination of the Eva foot […]
Walking Boots: Hanwag Dakota GTX
Hanwag Dakota GTX Walking Boots I was lucky enough to complete a life long dream and walk the Inca Trail this September. Great, but I needed a show that would fit the job: one with enough ankle support for all the ascent and a mountain paths, one that felt sturdy and stable but which wasn’t […]
Walking Boots: Hanwag Tatra Wide
I had a Summer hiking trip in the Alps booked and was looking for a boot to handle the huge variety of conditions I knew we would be facing. Sure enough, it was warm, chilly, dry, wet, steep, flat -you name it. It had to be something that could handle uneven ground but that would […]

Approach Shoes: La Sportiva Boulder X
A very rugged shoe that has so far coped with everything I’ve thrown at it.
Approach Shoes: Jack Wolfskin Mountain Attack Texapore
Jack Wolfskin Mountain Attack Texapore £85 First impressions: Not the lightest in the test but certainly one of the most solid. A waterproof hiking shoe made of nubuck suede leather with extensive air mesh inserts down to the toe area making it a very breathable on warm days. Jack Wolfskin’s own Texapore membrane. A wide […]
Approach Shoes: Scarpa Vortex XCR
Scarpa Vortex XCR £109.99 First impressions: Scarpa has a reputation where quality in mountain footwear is concerned and again this is another good shoe with it’s roots firmly in the Alps. The fit is good with a great Vibram sole. This shoe will stand up to day-long walking trips or a much longer summer expedition. […]
Approach Shoes: Meindl Cuba Lady
Meindl Cuba Lady GTX £95 First impressions: A new generation of ‘Magic’ shoes for everyday use on the trail. Rather conventional looking shoe from Meindl which despite it’s looks is very light. With VARIOfix lacing system the fit is good out of the box. The sole is quite aggressivley lugged but lacked the ‘stickiness’ that […]
Approach Shoes: Asolo Mantra GV ML
Not suprisingly from an Italian company that the styling is typically Alpine with the lacing extending long to the toe box.
