Scarpa Mens R-Evo GTX Walking / Hiking Boots  £189.00

Excellent boots. Went almost straight from box to a week walking rough paths and hill terrain in West Scotland in range of weather - feet stayed warm and dry; minor rubbing which is remarkable given nature of walking (up to 4 hours across rough terrain). Fit true to size and lacing system is excellent. Look great. Last Scarpa's lasted 10 years and looking fwd to enjoying these for same.

In New Zealand going tramping means wading through rivers and scrambling rough terrain underfoot so I chose these boots for the lighter weight uppers and tough vibram outsole. I haven't been disappointed yet. They seem to weight less that my other (Scarpa) boots when wet yet provide good support to cross unstable slopes. A lot of lighter boots I've tried forgo stiffness and soon fail in our uncompromising mountains. So far these are looking good.
Out of the box comfort, no need to break in.

These boots are first class. Get half a size bigger than you usually take. Stay dry and upright in style :)
