Scarpa Maverick Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boots, Multiple Colours Available (Men & Women's)

It depends what you need them for really. Are you just walking? Hiking? Mountain climbing? There’s no perfect boot, as everyone’s feet are different. Especially with different brands & boots, they often are very different in terms of sizes (I size up in my Scarpas).

I’d highly recommend going into an outdoor shop & speaking with someone and trying a few different boots on (Cotswolds usually have knowledgeable staff from my experience). If you find some you like, always check online as you’ll more than likely find them cheaper somewhere else, and most places will price match & knock an extra 10% off.

I’d personally stick with a trusted brand like Scarpa, La Sportiva, Salewa, Lowa, Mammut, Salomon, Merrell. From my own experience when I first got into hiking, I just bought some £30 boots. They felt comfy & waterproof at first, but lasted about a month. Now after years into hiking & mountaineering my usual go to’s are Scarpa (I have the Ribelles & Manta which are on the more expensive side) but they are definitely up there with the best. So you know the saying ‘buy cheap, buy twice’.

Gore-Tex is always a bonus, although you’ll still get some boots that will let you down after a while, so usually recommended buying Nikwax to protect your boots & help with the waterproof longevity.

The sole is also very important if you’re going to be hiking & climbing anything serious, you’d ideally want a Vibram rubber sole as they’re probably the best in the business when it comes to grip.

At the end of the day it depends on your budget & needs and whether what’s worth it for you. Nothing wrong with some of the cheaper boots either, but I just wouldn’t rely on them or recommend if doing any serious hiking.

Hope this helps a little

It's been explained before why they only show prices for members, but for the initiated it's due to agreements with suppliers to offer their EOL products at a lower rate than other websites which the suppliers also sell via.

Agreed, love the Mojitos for walking! Deffo got to have a pair of boots too though

There aren't any. Some get released for a short period of time, but they work only on specific stock that they are trying to shift, not anything you fancy. Unless you know of a private website which shares codes, whatever you find on Google will mainly be a waste of time. (edited)

You heard mutterings..what's else is there to say..

I have these ,use them for hill walking Donalds,Corbets that sort of thing ,they're the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned.
