Hiking boots

X Ultra 360 Mid GORE-TEX Walking Boots

Salomon · £150

A leather walking boot shown from the side.

Worth being NRY provisional

£150, the cheapest here, and a fabric boot rather than a leather one: lighter on the foot and faster to dry, at the cost of the decades a leather upper can give. The cushioned mid collar supports the ankle without the stiffness of a trekking boot. For day walks on paths this is the sensible amount to spend.

For
Someone walking marked paths and hills in a day, who values light feet over longevity.
Not for
Anyone carrying a heavy pack or crossing wet ground regularly.

What we checked

  • Salomon pad the mid-height collar so it supports the ankle without a stiff cuff. Ellis Brigham

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
