new walking/hiking/boots

[Adam Bourne]

As title really was wondering if anyone can shed some light on good ones, awesome ones, ones to stay away from, was gonna get a new pair of mammuts to replace my others but thought i would try everyone on here first....

 

Mammut Mt Cliff GTX at Ultimate Outdoors

Bought these about 2 month ago and they are a good boot for the money the Mammut are nice but a bit pricey i think.

I like a high boot, these are awesome, maybe a little warm for summer use. Totally water proof, I have walked all day in 8" of wet slush, feet warm and dry throughout.

 

Highly recommended.

Its a big stretch, but if you can justify the money they are well worth it La Sportiva Nepal Evo GTX are the best 4 seasons boots I have ever worn. I think they are about £350, honestly they are the knees of the bee, second year I've had mine and won't swap them, even if I had to do the Eiger.

 

Within your budget I would go for Scarpa Mantas. They are really good boots for the money (about £220 I think). The soles are "sticky" enough for a bit of rock work but deep enough on mosses and mud that you don't go AOT. Good midsole for technical work and it has the TPU heel insert which is relatively good on drops/impact and cramponable. I owned a pair for about 4 years, did me really well and only had to get rid of them because they didnt fit. Nothing special just winter work in Scotland. I think its the best Sub £300 boot going.

 

 

Hope thats some use
