Hiking Boots > Merrell Hiking Boots

these shoes are made for walking

Advantages: long lasting, ideal changing weather
Disadvantages: you get so used to wearing them you don't like going out in your heels!

...are the third pair of Salomon shoes I’ve owned and I don’t think I will ever buy a different brand of walking shoe again. I live in a hilly area and don’t have a car and therefore do a lot of walking, not only are they incredibly comfortable but they keep my feet dry in the wettest of weather but at the same time circulate air and therefore I’ve never had the ‘smelly trainer’ problem. Basically they are warm and dry in winter and cool in the summer. ...
...also wear them for more challenging walking, for example coastal path walks. My last pair lasted over three years with consistent use but not until the very end did they show any sign of their age. I also, and I know this is a very personal preference, find them much more attractive than a normal trainer. ...

Best value walking equipment around!

Advantages: great price
Disadvantages: none as yet

...After seeing a Karrimor advert in sports soccer i decided i wanted to look like the girl in the advert!

Review of Karrimor Women's KSB 300 Event Fabric Boot

Walking on air

Advantages: Comfort, value for money, weight
Disadvantages: difficult to clean

...have owned a pair of karrimor ksb walking boots for about 4 years now. Mine are a sandy colour and will no doubt have been superceded by a new model! They are very minimalist in their design and not at all flashy, which I like. I use them maybe 6 or 7 times a year and they are still holding up well. I use them for hill walking in the spring to autumn in Scotland. As they are fabric boots you might expect them to let water in however I have never ...
...go walking in extreme conditions, but them I have set out on glorious summer days and been caught out by thunder storms. My feet have always stayed dry, even when splashing through puddles. I find these boots quite narrow, which suits my feet, but this may not be suitable for all. They are very cushioned on the inside, even 4 years on and offer good ankle support. I'm trying to be unbiased, but I cannot really think of anything bad to say about ...

Berghaus Blues

Advantages: very comfortable, all day 3-4 season boot, all terrain, fully laden
Disadvantages: initial outlay is large but they will last for years. no half sizes

Today I’ll be talking about Berghaus GR20 GTX hiking boots in detail. Like a lot of hikers I do have more than one pair of suitable footwear; which range from a pair of Merrell trail sandals to the high ankle Berghaus GR20’s. It is important to wear appropriate footwear and this can vary from hike to hike as there are many variables such as weather, terrain, hike length and pack load. The Berghaus GR20 GTX boots ≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈ ...
...laden multi-day backpack. The Berghaus GR20 GTX boots are available in either women’s or men’s; women’s sizes range from a 36 to a 42, men’s range from 39 to a 48. Increments are in full sizes only; they don’t do half sizes but the fittings are quite wide. A pair of size 36 weighs around 700g and a size 42 weighs around 850g so they aren’t that heavy. The men’s are available in black and graphite and the women’s are in graphite or midnight blue ...

Review of Berghaus GR20 GTX

☼ Meindl High Boots & Short Skirt ☼

Advantages: Waterproof, well constructed
Disadvantages: Bit stiff at first

...make I knew of was Meindl as hubby had recently bought a pair for himself. I suspected these must be top of the range as he has a tendency to buy expensive brands. Luckily for me, Blacks had a 20% off all boots over £100 on the day I went shopping so I decided to go for a relatively expensive pair. That basically narrowed my choice to either a pair of soft brown Brashers or a pair of harder but denim coloured Meindls. The Brashers to be honest felt ...
...that the Burma Lady Pro Meindl pair were a very versatile walking boot because: ☼ They are categorized as B boots suitable for demanding hikes in low level mountains, easy trekking in the major mountain ranges, most suited for walking on marked mountain paths. ☼ They have a Sil Nubeck leather upper with a goretex lining (helping to keep your feet non sweaty). Goretex is a membrane which works in the same way as human skin, with millions ...
