Product Information

They kept my feet super dry, on the tough 14km trek of Kinder Scout that we did. They also did a super job of keeping my feet warm, as it had been raining the night before and the ground in parts was quite boggy, yet slipping ankle deep into mud proved no problem at all and I stayed warm and dry.

For once, let’s start with the downsides: with more of a trainer than boot feel, the Peakfreaks don’t offer especially firm protection or stability for the ankle, and the lightweight materials aren’t as tough or rugged as all-leather boots. But, with the Peakfreaks, the numerous positives far outweigh the negatives. Columbia’s Outdry technology is a one-piece membrane that seals the stitching and any other water ingress vulnerabilities. This ensures excellent waterproofing and breathability for these lightweight boots. Meanwhile the Omni Grip outsoles have multi-directional lugs for good grip out on the trail. As long as you are careful with the sizing and remember that they may feel a little heavier at first, the Hi-Tec walking boots should cause too many problems. Karrimor is famous in the UK for its budget hiking gear and the Bodmin 4 Mid Weather Walking Boots are some of the most cost-effective footwear out there. A Dynagrip outsole allows for good traction on the hills, but a fabric exterior means that these boots aren’t the best for wet weather walks.

One report from a user found the book lost its shape and some of its weatherproofing after a while. You could end up with a more relaxed fit and may benefit from adding a protective coating. There is also no messing around with the design or any extra details. There is some branding on the side and the tongue, but the rest is a pretty clean dark brown leather. The best budget walking boots is all about finding the most value for your money and it doesn’t get much better than the Hi-Tec Ravine Walking Boots.

There are also some great comments about the comfort provided, even with that little extra weight. Many find that they can walk for miles in these Hi-Tec hiking boots and that it didn’t take too long to break them in.The third iteration in the popular Quest series, this is a boot designed for fast and light hiking on technical terrain – think trail walking in the Pyrenees or scrambling in Snowdonia. Salomon say it was developed with running shoe-adapted technology, the evidence of this being a slightly flexible chassis and a low-ish overall weight. For their price they are excellent quality and if you are looking for a good boot for hiking Britain in all weathers I cannot fail to recommend them. It is very difficult to find a boot that is comfortable without rubbing from the outset, full marks to Hi-Tec for this. Looking for a reliable hill-walking boot? You have come to the right place. The Ravine Lite Waterproof boot is made from Dri-Tec materials that provide a breathable membrane that helps keep feet dry.
