Why They Work For Me

• Bone Dry: Full Gore-Tex membrane. I’ve put these through streams and wet grass and kept dry.

• Proper Warmth: Built thicker than standard mesh trainers—essential for staying comfortable in the UK climate.

• Solid Grip: The tread is spot on for slippy, uneven ground and muddy paths.

• Light but Tough: Good support without the weight of a traditional hiking boot.

• Better for the Planet: Made with 20% recycled materials.

Important: Sizing Advice

These have a snug fit. I personally went a half size bigger than my normal trainers, and most other owners report needing to do the same. If you’re in between sizes, definitely go up.

Final Verdict

I’ve spent a lot of money on "premium" hiking brands over the years, but after giving these a proper hammering, they are now my go-to. They’re practical, durable, and actually do what they say on the tin (box).
