If you’re looking for a boot that’s more hardcore and is ready to take on tougher terrain in the Lakes or Scotland, these are the boots you’re looking for.
The first thing I noticed was how much ankle support they provide. For someone who has very weak ankles, I loved the support they offered as soon as I put them on.
They were also really comfortable. The seriously thick shock absorbing sole is great for rough terrain. The Bhutan is also lined with memory foam so it moulds to the shape of your foot – handy!
I also really liked the traditional brown leather look of the boot more than the colourful versions offered in most outdoor shops nowadays. You can tell they’re going to last for a long time.
They are heavier and chunkier than some of their rivals on the market – the kind of boots you’d wear on an airplane or train to avoid carrying them.
On hotter days, I probably would recommend a more lightweight boot, but if you’re looking to do some rocky hill walking or backpacking either in the UK or abroad this summer, then the Bhutan is for you.
Best for… rough terrain, climbing steep hills and mountains
