About this product

This is the boot our fitters reach for most often when a customer wants one pair for everything from canal towpaths to Kinder Scout. It is made on a women's last, with a narrower heel and a lower instep than the men's.

Version II has 4mm more room at the toe and a firmer heel counter. A pair weighs 980g in a UK 5, and the Weatherline membrane and Tor Grip sole are the same as on the men's boot.

  • Women's last with a narrower heel and lower instep
  • Weatherline membrane behind a suede and recycled mesh upper
  • Tor Grip sole, 4mm lugs, rubber bumper over the toes
  • Softer padded collar that sits below the ankle bone
  • PFAS-free water-repellent finish on suede and mesh

  1. 4 out of 5

    Comfortable, colour darker than expected

    Comfy from day one and dry on a wet walk up to Stickle Tarn. The Heather is a lot darker than it looked on my phone, more plum than purple. I don't mind, but worth knowing.

    No heel slip at last

    Every boot I've owned has rubbed at the back on the way down. These don't. Did the Calderdale Way over two weekends and came home without a blister.
