10 best trekking boots

Under TNV hides Splav, a well-known company since the beginning of the 90s, whose products are familiar to many tourists and which can combine good performance with reasonable prices. Shoes are made in China, factory quality. But we immediately note a minus - the reviews are very contradictory, some buyers are delighted with the company's boots and wear them for years, others have enough for a couple of seasons. Specifically, TNV Blanca has the highest rating among other series with a high sales volume and a minimum of negative comments, so they deservedly got into the rating. The top is made of very dense genuine leather 2 mm thick, and the lining is made of synthetic material on the Dintex membrane. The toe and heel are reinforced with a rubberized overlay, while the outsole made of heat-resistant rubber and EVA performs well on difficult surfaces.

One of Jack Wolfskin's best all-around options comes in mid and low versions, offering a choice for long hikers as well as those looking for hiking or walking shoes. Together with ASI, designing the model and testing it in difficult conditions, including mountain hiking, gave an impressive result: the boots turned out to be quite light, while combining excellent foot support and comfort even when carrying the heaviest equipment with excellent cushioning and grip. The upper is made of tough nylon, features proprietary TEXAPORE O2+ membrane for superior water resistance, while the outsole features an internal FORCE PLATE and aggressive Vibram Megagrip lugs for a confident feel on any surface.

A discreet and laconic look, so you can wear them to the office or simply use them as a pair of casual shoes.Genuine leather is used as the main material, therefore, in order for the boots to last longer, you should not neglect the simple rules of care and use special impregnations. They also perform well on hikes, with great cushioning and support, and an Omni-Grip outsole for great traction. In general, the model is praised for its quality, the only thing, judging by the reviews, it is better to opt for the black version, since scratches are too obvious on the brown pair. Another of the interesting observations of buyers is that although the model is indicated by the manufacturer as a spring-summer version, it is comfortable in harsh winters.

The rating included a model in which the emphasis is on ventilation. But if water resistance is important, the Merrell Moab 2 WP with Gore-Tex is worth a look, the price difference is small. So what makes the Moab 2 Vent. The top is combined - synthetic mesh and natural suede, and inside the air-mesh-mesh with antibacterial impregnation, which together gives the model good ventilation properties, maintaining an optimal microclimate for the foot and antibacterial protection.The durable and resilient Vibram TC5+ outsole delivers precise traction and balance, while cushioning, support and shock absorption are delivered by the Air Cushion midsole in the heel.

Salewa's quality is top notch as always: premium upper materials - durable 1.6 mm thick suede and GORE-TEX® EXTENDED COMFORT - lining that simultaneously achieves moisture resistance, heat retention, and in high temperature conditions and under heavy loads provides efficient ventilation. You don't have to worry about unpleasant odors because the model uses the innovative Cleansport NXT technology, which actively destroys the very bacteria that cause sweat odor. For better grip and wear resistance, which is especially important when climbing mountains, the well-known and proven Vibram sole is used. Of course, the developers also took care of the landing on the leg and protection of the ankles - the 3F system provides precise fixation and support for the feet.

It's hard not to pay attention to these boots - a wonderful choice of colors and a combination of bright colors. The model is unisex, and both men and women leave extremely enthusiastic reviews. The only unpleasant moment is that it is becoming more and more difficult to find brand shoes for sale in Russia now, which is a pity, after all, this is one of the most famous brands, whose product quality is always striking in its high level and interesting solutions. Massive, with a tractor wear-resistant rubber sole and a tenacious tread, they are ready for any challenge and will easily fit into both a daring urban style and show themselves confidently in field conditions. Excellent stability is guaranteed, and high-quality materials, a reinforced toe and a completely thought-out design leave a very positive impression.

It is difficult to choose the best model from Lova, who produces many worthy series of trekking boots. One of the most popular is the Renegade, but we dared not add this line to the ranking due to the very mixed reviews about the latest update with the mention that the sole does not withstand long hikes.Therefore, if you see old models of the line for sale, take it, you will not regret it, and if you are looking for something newer, then it makes sense to consider buying EXPLORER. Also a well-known series, which was forgotten for several years and recently, which is very pleasing, was returned to the market. The main thing that distinguishes it in addition to comfort is durability, excellent water resistance, and ventilation due to the combination of a suede upper with a Gore-Tex membrane.

This European company with a rich history needs no introduction, as does its regularly updated Kailash line, which has been praised by hikers and experts for several years now, who have tested this pair of shoes in the most difficult conditions and gave Kailash high marks. So what did Scarpa offer? High boots with natural suede upper 1.6-1.8 mm thick, treated with water-repellent impregnations and the addition of mesh nylon in the main folds. A Gore-Tex liner provides additional water protection and breathability, the toe and heel are protected from impacts by rubber overlays, and the Vibram outsole with heel brake and deep tread grooves excels in all conditions. Average weight: about 1200 grams weighs a male pair and 1000 g - a female pair.

Salomon often pleases its fans with both updating collections and releasing new series. By the way, the company recently announced the X Ultra Pioneer line, lightweight, built on the basis of the same popular X Ultra, but, unfortunately, has not yet appeared in Russia. But the 4th and previous, third Ultra can be found on sale. The Ultra 4 hasn't received any major changes in terms of its main functions, it still has the same calm design, durable breathable synthetics as the main upper material and a Gore-Tex membrane that provides waterproofness. Excellent cushioning comes from high-performance EnergyCell EVA foam, the ankle is protected and tightly supported by the ADV-C chassis while maintaining the mobility of the foot, the toe box is protected, and the unique Contagrip branded outsole gives decent traction on mixed surfaces.

Frankly, not the most budget option, but at the same time one of those where every ruble invested is justified. The choice of professionals and those who know a lot about high-end products, which is the footwear that has been manufactured by Zamberlan for almost a century. Here, each new model, before entering serial production, undergoes strict control and testing, and specialists follow new trends, developing and using high-tech and patented solutions. 1996 is a modernized version of one of the most popular lines, where the upper is made of a solid piece of waxed Tuscan leather almost 3 mm thick, treated for durability with Hydrobloc technology. It uses a Gore-Tex membrane and Zamberlan's own proven Vibram 3D outsole, which provides maximum grip on uneven surfaces and self-cleaning.
