Walking Boots: Merrel Chameleon Arc 2 Rival
I tested these completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge - a 12 hour hike where you conquer three mountains. I needed shoes that were stable, able to withstand that grim Yorkshire rain and left me nimble footed while scrambling rocks, and the Chameleon Arc 2s were just the ticket.

Close fitting and and the top-to toe-lacing has a very alpine feel to it. The sole is good and sticky and has a stiff feel to it too and performed particularly well on rock ascents. The Mammut [...]
Approach Shoes: Jack Wolfskin Mountain Attack Texapore
Jack Wolfskin Mountain Attack Texapore £85 First impressions: Not the lightest in the test but certainly one of the most solid. A waterproof hiking shoe made of nubuck suede leather with extensive air mesh inserts down to the toe area making it a very breathable on warm days. Jack Wolfskin’s own Texapore membrane. A wide [...]
