Best Mens Walking Boots in the UK

Hiking can take one through all different types of terrain, but one thing that hikers are often not sufficiently prepared for is wet or muddy terrain. As such, it is not uncommon for those who walk through such conditions to find their feet in less than perfect condition aftewards. The best way to prevent this from occurring is through having a pair of waterproof boots such as the Berghaus 4-22197 Waterproof High Rise Walking Boots. These walking boots are made of genuine high-quality leather along with a breathable AQ waterproof lining, so they compare favourably with most counterparts in increased wear and water resistance. They will not let you down even in extreme situations, keeping your feet nice and dry even when wading through ankle-high water or mud.

The waterproof design of these hiking boots is far from all they have to offer. The Ortholite™ Footbed provides effective support for the feet, conforming perfectly to their shape - this reduces the load on the legs during prolonged walking. By the way, the insoles can be removed for easy and practical care, letting you keep them fresh without any bacterial or fungal build-up. The EVA outer sole is also made for durability, letting the shoes keep their traction even with miles upon miles of wear on them. Unfortunately, the laces that are included with the boots are not of the best quality, so you might want to replace them with higher quality laces if you want them to last as long as the boots. Overall, though, the high-quality build of these walking boots for men will be exactly what frequent hikers need.

Ask anyone who commonly wears hiking boots what part of their boots is the most susceptible to failure, and virtually everyone will mention the laces. These essential parts of most hiking boots can really run the range in quality, from extremely poor to extremely durable, and unfortunately, they can also affect the overall reputation and performance of the boots. That's why it is so important that the Northwest Territory Hiking Leather Waterproof Boots come with extremely high-quality laces. The laces are made of durable polyester, and in combination with reinforced eyelets and hook fastening, they allow you to tighten the shoe very tightly so that it fits snugly against the foot. On top of that, spare laces and a storage bag are also included, letting you easily keep a spare pair handy.

Enough about the laces, though, what about the rest of the boots? Fortunately, everything else about these walking boots is as high quality as the laces. These boots from Northwest Territory are recommended not only for walking and hiking, but also for trekking. The high sole with a rugged toe and heel areas makes it easy to get through any type of terrain (even through thickets). The outer part of the shoe is made of waterproof leather, with a textile waterproof lining on the inside, which will help keep your feet bone dry even in the wettest conditions. The EVA cushioning will keep your feet comfortable, and the hard rubber outer sole is extremely durable, providing you with excellent traction. Although the leather of the boot will feel stiff at first, it will loosen up and become more comfortable once the boots are broken in.

In the end, these highly durable men's trekking boots will amaze you with the overall quality of even the smallest details while providing you with comfortable footwear for even the toughest hikes.

No matter what kind of traction that many pairs of walking boots claim to have, they often fall short of what people would like. Slippery surfaces tend to cause problems for anyone, regardless of the type of traction that their boots feature. With the Hi-Tec Storm Waterproof High Rise Boots, though, you can be assured of always having good footing on virtually any type of surface. The rubber outsole boasts state-of-the-art MDT™ (Multi-Directional Traction) Technology: the patented, textured outsole ensures superior traction on any surface and keeps you from slipping. You'll find that even on the most slippery rocks or on wet or icy surfaces, the traction of these boots will keep your footing very secure.

Walking on slippery surfaces often involves walking through cold and wet conditions. If you are looking for shoes for regular use in wet and rainy weather, this model will be the best option. The textile lining with Dri-Tec™ waterproof membrane completely eliminates the risk of getting your feet wet and catching a cold. At the same time, the suede lining will keep your feet able to breathe properly, preventing moisture from sweat from building up inside of the boot. The EVA cushioning, while comfortable, tends to not absorb the shock from walking as much as some other shoes do, so you may want to keep that in mind if you will be putting a hard amount of pressure on your feet. Despite this, though, you should find these lightweight boots to be not only comfortable, but very supportive of your feet, keeping them warm and dry through even the worst conditions.

The main purpose of having walking boots as opposed to just regular walking shoes is in the support that boots provide for one's ankle. This is something that is often overlooked, but is indeed important for anyone who will spend time walking or hiking on sometimes uneven surfaces. The Regatta RMF539 High Rise Hiking Boots provide plenty of ankle support thanks to the deep padding provided in the tongue and collar, which will keep your ankles from getting stressed or injured on even the toughest terrain.

Another nice feature of these mountain walking boots is the durable fabric inserts that are resistant to tearing and are stitched with reflective threads. This makes you clearly visible in the evening or in darker conditions, an important point when you are hiking with others or in areas where you need to be seen.

Along with the above mentioned features, these black hiking boots have plenty other to provide. The Isotex Upper will keep your feet warm and dry thanks to its water and wind-resistant build, while the Hydrophilic Breathability System allows for proper breathing of your feet, preventing them from getting soaked with sweat. The synthetic leather of the boot exterior will also hold up well to many kinds of stress. The traction of the sole, while initially quite good, does tend to deteriorate over time, though, so these might be better used on terrain that isn't quite so slippery. Outside of that, the performance that most users have experienced with these walking boots ensures that anyone will find them to their liking.

A person's feet tend to stink pretty badly after being in shoes for a while, and that stink tends to also stick with the shoes. This is most often caused by poor breathability of the shoes, which doesn't allow moisture from sweat to escape. The Northwest Territory Terrain Premium Leather Upper Waterproof Boots were made with this problem in mind, providing maximum breathability for your feet. The breathable lining reduces the risk of sweating feet, thereby eliminating the appearance of unpleasant odors. Moreover, the lining is famous for its excellent anti-bacterial properties - this prevents the development of fungal diseases, allowing you to keep your feet both healthy and dry.

Just because these boots allow moisture to escape doesn't mean they also let it in. Far from it, in fact. The outer lining provides a waterproof and windproof lining that will keep water and wind from touching your feet, keeping the harsh elements out while maintaining maximum comfort. Furthermore, the shock-absorbing outsole makes walking easier on stones, gravel, sand, dirt and snow while providing excellent traction on any surface and in any conditions. If you are an active traveller and are looking for high-quality boots that are equally good in summer and winter, these relatively inexpensive and at the same time very convenient boots from Northwest Territory will be the best men's walking boots for their price.
