This is why I’m NRY

Hiking boots

Mescalito TRK GORE-TEX Walking Boots

Scarpa · £275

A leather walking boot shown from the side.

Worth being NRY provisional

£275, and Scarpa are specific about it: long routes on demanding ground with a heavy pack. That is a stiffer sole and more support than anything cheaper here, and it is the boot to buy if the walking involves a tent. On a flat path it is more boot than the day needs and you will feel it.

For
Someone carrying a multi-day pack over rough ground.
Not for
Anyone doing day walks on paths, where everything above is lighter and cheaper.

What we checked

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.
