As much as I love hiking, I am not typically in the business of spending almost £200 on hiking shoes. However, after wearing the comfortable and stylish Salomon x Ultra Alpine GORE-TEX walking shoes, I might have to change my ways.
This pick of the best walking shoes are billed as best for single day routes, hiking, Alpine and mixed terrain. I have not been able to test them out on any Alpine summits - living in Greater Manchester as I do - but I have tackled the Pennine peaks and plateaus in them and there is always plenty of muddy, rocky and wet terrain to tackle there, especially at this time of year.
