Product Test • 14/05/2026 Merrell Moab 3 Mid GTX Review: the no-nonsense hiking boot that just gets on with it ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Merrell Men’s Moab 3 Mid GTX is a solid, no-drama hiking boot that does what most people need: decent support, real waterproofing, and good comfort straight out of the box. It’s not the lightest, not the toughest, and not the grippiest on wet rock, but as an all-rounder for mixed terrain and bad... by Dylan Everett
Product Test • 14/05/2026 INOV8 Men's ROCLITE PRO MID GTX Review: Lightweight boots with serious grip for mixed terrain ★★★★★ ★★★★★ After using the INOV8 ROCLITE PRO MID GTX on several wet and mixed-terrain hikes, my conclusion is pretty straightforward: they’re light, comfortable, and grip very well, but they’re not the right boot for absolutely everyone. If you like the feel of trail running shoes but want a bit more ankle cov... by Liam Hawthorne
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Scarpa Terra GTX Hiking Boot Review: solid leather hikers for everyday trekking, with a few caveats ★★★★★ ★★★★★ After putting the Scarpa Terra GTX through mixed use, my overall take is that it’s a solid, no-nonsense leather hiking boot with good comfort and support, but not perfect grip in the wet. The boot feels well built, the leather upper is tough, and the Gore‑Tex lining has kept my feet dry so far. Comf... by Nia Mbatha
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Adidas Terrex AX3 Review: waterproof trail shoes that favour grip over softness ★★★★★ ★★★★★ If I had to sum up the adidas Terrex AX3 in one line, I’d say: sturdy waterproof trail shoes that favour grip and stability over softness and speed. They’re reliable in bad weather, handle mud and wet grass very well, and feel built to take a fair bit of abuse. The Gore-Tex works, the Traxion outsol... by Zoey Andersen
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Berghaus Men's Vc22 Mid GTX 2.0 Review: light hiking boots that feel more like trainers ★★★★★ ★★★★★ After several weeks of use, I’d sum up the Berghaus Men's Vc22 Mid GTX 2.0 as a light, comfortable hiking boot that behaves more like a supportive trainer than a traditional, heavy boot. They’re easy to wear straight away, don’t punish your feet on longer walks, and give enough grip and ankle covera... by Zoey Andersen
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid GTX Review: stiff, precise boots for serious hiking days ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid Gore‑Tex is a stiff, technical hiking / light mountaineering boot that makes sense if you spend a lot of time on rocky, rough, or mountainous terrain. The main strengths are the solid heel lock, precise lacing, full rubber rand, and supportive sole. On scrambles, stee... by Elias Sorensen
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salomon Quest Echo Gore-Tex Review: light mid-cut hikers that feel secure but not bulky ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Salomon Quest Echo Gore-Tex are solid mid-cut hiking boots for people who actually spend time on trails and in bad weather. They’re light for the amount of support they give, the ankle hold is reassuring on uneven ground, and the Gore-Tex membrane keeps your feet dry in rain, mud, and wet grass.... by Elias Sorensen
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Scarpa Men's Ribelle Cross 2 Mid GTX Review: a fast hiker that feels like a trail runner ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Overall, the Scarpa Ribelle Cross 2 Mid GTX is a pretty solid choice if you’re looking for a fast hiking shoe that still gives proper protection and support. It really feels like a mix between a trail running shoe and a light hiking boot: light enough to move quickly, but stiff and protective enough... by Nia Mbatha
Product Test • 14/05/2026 SCARPA Zodiac TRK GTX Review: tough leather boot with some annoying compromises ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The SCARPA Zodiac Trk GTX is a tough, supportive leather trekking boot that does its job well in the right context, but it’s not a universal crowd‑pleaser. It’s stiff, fairly narrow, and needs a proper break‑in. Once it loosens up a bit, you get strong ankle support, good grip from the Vibram sole,... by Liam Hawthorne
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid Gore-Tex Review: stiff, serious boots for rough miles in bad weather ★★★★★ ★★★★★ If I had to sum up the Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid Gore-Tex in a sentence, I’d say: serious, stiff-ish hiking boots that make sense for rough, wet ground and proper hill days, but overkill for casual strolls. They’re well built, hold the heel firmly, grip well on real trails, and the waterproofing h... by Riley Kingston
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salewa Crow Gore-Tex Men's Mountaineering Boots Review: stiff, secure and dry, but not exactly comfy slippers ★★★★★ ★★★★★ After using the Salewa Crow Gore-Tex men’s boots in real mountain conditions, I’d sum them up like this: serious, stiff, and secure, with excellent waterproofing and durability, but clearly not built for comfort on long, easy walks. They make sense if you spend a decent amount of time on rocky alpin... by Zoey Andersen
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salewa Ms Firetail Evo Mid GTX Review: light, grippy boots for fast hikes and scrambling ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Salewa Ms Firetail Evo Mid GTX is a good choice if you want a light, precise boot that feels closer to a high-top trainer than a classic trekking tank. The grip is strong, especially on rock and mixed terrain, the heel hold is solid, and the fit can be tuned quite a bit thanks to the 3D lacing a... by Dylan Everett
Meindl Burma GTX Review: old-school leather hiking boots that just get the job done Product Test • 14/05/2026 Meindl Burma GTX Review: old-school leather hiking boots that just get the job done ★★★★★ ★★★★★ After using the Meindl Burma GTX boots on a mix of wet hills, muddy forest paths and some boring road sections, my overall impression is that they’re proper, no-nonsense hiking boots aimed at people who actually walk a fair bit. They’re solid, supportive, properly waterproof so far, and feel like th... by Aisling McKenna
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Härkila Pro Hunter Light Mid GTX Review: tough mid-height boots that don’t baby your feet ★★★★★ ★★★★★ After using the Härkila Pro Hunter Light Mid GTX for a while, I see them as serious, no-nonsense hunting boots that favour durability and support over softness and fashion. They’re waterproof, tough, and stable on rough ground, with materials that clearly aim for long-term use: Cordura outer, Gore-T... by Riley Kingston
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salomon Quest Element Gore-Tex Review: solid hiking boots that feel light but aren’t perfect ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Overall, the Salomon Quest Element Gore-Tex boots are solid, comfortable hiking boots for people who actually get out on the trail. They’re light for a high-top, supportive enough for rough terrain and backpacking, and the Gore-Tex waterproofing does its job. Grip is good on most surfaces, and the h... by Zoey Andersen
Product Test • 14/05/2026 Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid Gore-Tex Review: stiff, reliable boots for serious hiking days ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Overall, the Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid Gore-Tex is a sturdy, supportive trekking boot that does its best work on proper hills and rough trails. The grip is reliable, the build feels tough, and the heel hold is one of the best parts – very little movement, which means fewer blisters and more confid... by Dylan Everett
