Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 Low Gore-tex Tursko

Good Points: Comfortable and springy - feet felt less fatigued. Very lightweight - helped my hips and knees. Waterproof durability impressed me. Amazing grip. Great for travelling. Very cool colours - feel good wearing them in nature and in the city. Improvement Points: Support around the ankle is a bit weaker than with traditional boots. The sole is very intuitive - some people like being able to completely flex their foot and feel each rock beneath them; I prefer a more rigid structure. But overall an excellent boot for day hiking.

Good Points: Amazing for hiking/trail running. First time I wore them I walked up Snowdon & jogged back down. Really light weight and comfortable. I’m usually a size 7 but they were snug so exchanged them for an 8, which were perfect. Couldn’t recommend enough. Improvement Points: Slightly small sizing, otherwise perfect.

Good Points: Lightweight ideal for warmer weather hikes and scrambling Improvement Points: Expensive

Good Points: They’re unlike most walking boots as they’re colourful and fashionable - every time I have worn them someone has said how much they liked them! They’re more trainer style rather than a more traditional walking boot. I did extensive research! Improvement Points: the RRP seems high compared to other brands of similar shoe style - I bought mine when they were on offer otherwise they would have been outside my allocated budget for a walking boot. I do love them !

Good Points: Very comfortable, great grip on grass, mud etc. completely waterproof
