A hearty Northern Hemisphere welcome to spring and all its attendant pleasures. Whether its a day-long hike, a scrabble up the side of Yr Wyddfa, taking the dog on a long walk or a gentle stroll through the bluebells, I think we have just the pair of hiking-cum-walking shoes to put a spring in your step.
Hiking shoes – like the Inov8 Roclite GTX we’re reviewing here – are the perfect middle ground between rugged hiking boots and super lightweight trail runners. Designed to keep your feet comfortable, moderately dry and well protected on day hikes and longer trails, the Roclite GTX feature sturdy soles for outstanding traction, reinforced shanks for protection against sharp objects and a Gore-Tex-layered upper layer for keeping moisture at bay.
