These boots are brighter than my usual boots of choice. However once they were on, they looked pretty good with my black trousers and the material felt light and breathable.

The boot has a generally comfortable wide fit but a slimmer ankle, which felt a little odd for the first hour of the walk.

As the boots relaxed however, the slimmer fit at the back proved good for preventing rub and blisters.

The synthetic sole on the shoes had great grip and felt steady on steeper climbs, but needed more flexibility.

On an eight mile hike, the boots stayed pretty rigid for the entire walk. I felt I had to bend the sole to its limit on the steepest routes.

Best for… Flat routes, people prone to blisters, warmer weather
