The waterproofing proved effective in our tests, keeping rain and puddle water out well, but the bellows on the tongue finish slightly lower than some other shoes, so beware of deepish puddles. The suede upper looks great, but suede does need more care than synthetic fibres. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Underfoot, the outsole proved adept on hard-packed ground, rock and dry mud, but the spaced-out pattern of the wide lugs meant they weren\u2019t so great in wet, muddy conditions. The lacing system isn\u2019t the best at helping you get a perfect, secure fit. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve also noticed with this American brand\u2019s Mountain 600 boots (which I love otherwise). When tying them up, it\u2019s a challenge to keep the laces taut throughout the lacing system, which can become frustrating. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The midsole is pretty stiff. That\u2019s handy if you need support on particularly uneven terrain, but may be overkill if you\u2019re hiking on well-maintained tracks. This men\u2019s shoe is available in both wide and regular fits. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center article-full-body sans-serif has-ccp-primary-light-color has-ccp-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>VERDICT: A robust and supportive good-looking shoe, but grip and lacing aren\u2019t the best. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"sans-serif article-subhead\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-ccp-primary-color\">LA SPORTIVA TX HIKE GTX (M\/F) <\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"> \u00a3159.95; <span style=\"\">lasportiva.com <\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"no-tts wp-block-purple-slider\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-speed=\"300\" data-effect=\"fade\"><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/La_Sportiva_Hike_GTX_11-59-22_SNY0043_preview-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26470\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26470\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/La_Sportiva_Hike_GTX_12-06-03_SNY0054_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26469\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26469\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/La_Sportiva_Hike_GTX_12-12-58_SNY0095_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26471\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26471\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><span style=\"\">Aside from the low-cut ankle, this shoe feels very much like a hiking boot, but that\u2019s not surprising given the expertise and heritage of Italian shoemaker La Sportiva. As you\u2019d expect from a shoe using Gore-Tex, protection against the elements is no bother, with rain and puddle water failing to penetrate in our testing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The lacing system is effective, securing the foot well, while there\u2019s plenty of room in the toe box for toes to splay out. The Vibram outsole kept me upright in all manner of conditions, including mud. A levelled off section at the front is helpful for scrambling. There\u2019s protection underfoot from sharp rocks, though this does reduce ground feel. The ride is a little firm and there\u2019s not a huge amount of flexibility. That\u2019s great if you want stability and support for uneven ground (or scrambling), but it may fatigue your foot faster than something more flexible. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">If you want something for rough, mountainous terrain, the Hike GTX offers good support, traction and protection.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center article-full-body sans-serif has-ccp-primary-light-color has-ccp-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>VERDICT: <strong>Mountain-ready performance in a shoe-shaped package. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"sans-serif article-subhead\"><strong>COTSWOLD WYCHWOOD LOW (M\/F)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>\u00a379.99; cotswoldshoes.co.uk<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"no-tts wp-block-purple-slider\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-speed=\"300\" data-effect=\"fade\"><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Cotswold_Wychwood_Low_Cotswold_Wychwood_Low12-00-10_SNY0044_preview-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26472\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26472\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Cotswold_Wychwood_Low_Cotswold_Wychwood_Low12-06-47_SNY0056_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26474\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26474\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Cotswold_Wychwood_Low_Cotswold_Wychwood_Low12-13-55_SNY0103_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26473\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26473\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><span style=\"\">The Wychwood Low is an affordable shoe that has echoes of classic country styling. An own-brand waterproof lining works well, but I did notice water ingress around the tongue, so it\u2019s possible the lining doesn\u2019t extend to this part of the shoe. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The grip doesn\u2019t inspire a huge amount of confidence in wet, slippery mud, but is more than adequate on well-maintained trails and paths. One thing was immediately apparent \u2013 these shoes run small, so I\u2019d say size up. I experienced some heel slippage when treading through thick mud, and the lacing system didn\u2019t feel quite as secure as other options, so definitely try before you buy. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Sizing issues aside, the shoes felt good once on, with cushioning around the ankle and tongue, plus lots of flexibility in the midsole. While that\u2019s comfortable, it does mean you don\u2019t get quite so much support or protection underfoot, so they would not be my first choice for mountainous terrain. The mesh upper is breathable in warm weather and the toe bumper is malleable so unlikely to offer serious protection. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center article-full-body sans-serif has-ccp-primary-light-color has-ccp-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>VERDICT: <strong>Comfy, good value. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"sans-serif article-subhead\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-ccp-primary-color\">COLUMBIA FACET 75 OUTDRY (M\/F) <\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>\u00a3125; columbiasportswear.co.uk<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"no-tts wp-block-purple-slider\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-speed=\"300\" data-effect=\"fade\"><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Columbia_Facet_75_12-03-13_SNY0047_preview-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26478\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26478\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Columbia_Facet_75_12-12-14_SNY0090_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26477\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26477\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Columbia_Facet_75_12-12-16_SNY0091_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26476\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26476\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><span style=\"\">Underfoot, you will find an outsole of Columbia\u2019s own making. It comes complete with deep 5mm lugs that perform admirably in a range of conditions, although they did slide around a little on particularly muddy surfaces. The own-brand waterproof liner worked well, but the tongue\u2019s bellows finish slightly lower than some competitors, allowing water in if you step into a deep enough puddle. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The Facet 75 felt comfortable straight out of the box. That\u2019s largely down to the plush cushioning around the ankle, tongue and underfoot, which works in partnership with the flexible midsole. The cushioned tongue contributes to a lacing system that offers a secure fit. That tongue helps with the shoe\u2019s stability, too, which is appreciated, given the flexible midsole. That midsole also allows a decent amount of ground feel. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The toe bumper does a reasonable job, but it is more malleable than the likes of the Salomon X Ultra 4 or the La Sportiva Hike GTX.

The outsole\u2019s chevron-styled lugs kept me upright and feeling confident in a range of conditions. Some say the fit is a little narrow, but my regular-width feet felt fine; I\u2019d advise trying a pair on before buying. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Salomon\u2019s quick lace system felt supportive and stable. Comfort was high with an adequate amount of cushioning around the ankle, collar and tongue. There\u2019s also reasonable cushioning underfoot, which combines well with a flexible ride to ensure your feet don\u2019t fatigue too quickly. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">In online reviews, it appears some shoe owners have felt let down by the durability of the X Ultra. While I\u2019ve not had any issues while testing, that is something to consider if you plan to cover a lot of miles in a short space of time. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The X Ultra 4 GTX will handle a range of scenarios, and it will largely keep your feet supported and protected.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center article-full-body sans-serif has-ccp-primary-light-color has-ccp-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>VERDICT: <strong>A comfortable and versatile shoe for all terrains<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h5><em><strong>BBC Countryfile Magazine favourite <\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n<h4 class=\"sans-serif article-subhead\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-ccp-primary-color\">HOKA ONE ONE ANACAPA LOW GTX (M\/F)<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">\u00a3140; <span style=\"\">hoka.com <\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"no-tts wp-block-purple-slider\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-speed=\"300\" data-effect=\"fade\"><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Hoka_Anacapa_Low11-58-36_SNY0042_preview-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26484\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26484\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Hoka_Anacapa_Low12-14-38_SNY0108_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26483\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26483\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"no-tts blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/05\/Hoka_Anacapa_Low12-14-41_SNY0109_preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"26482\" data-link=\"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbccountryfile\/?attachment_id=26482\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\"><span style=\"\">This shoe doesn\u2019t look too dissimilar to the brand\u2019s running shoes, with a tall stack height and a pronounced heel. I found the all-black colourway a little underwhelming, but there are three other colourways to choose from. The toe bumper is not as solid as some heavier options, but still offers a reasonable amount of protection, while waterproofing is more than taken care of by the Gore-Tex membrane. The Vibram Megagrip outsole and its 5mm lugs gave impressive traction on a wide range of terrain, though may come unstuck when walking across boggy ground.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Once on, they feel similar to running shoes in many ways \u2013 nimble, relatively lightweight and with good flexibility for a flowing gait. Despite that, they provided a certain amount of lateral stiffness that translated well to underfoot support on uneven ground. There\u2019s also a nice balance between ground-feel and protection against sharp rocks.
