About this product

If you want one boot for winter hillwalking with C1 crampons and summer days on rocky ridges, the Garburn covers both. Wayfell made the women's version on its own lower-volume last, and the leather is 2.4mm, a touch thinner than the men's, which saves about 140g.

A full rubber rand protects the leather on scree, and the Wayseal membrane keeps out snowmelt. In a UK 5 a pair weighs 1,260g. Give it several shorter walks before a big day.

  • B1 rated for C1 strap-on crampons

    Lochnagar in snow

    Did Lochnagar from the Spittal of Glenmuick in March with crampons on. Warm and dry, and stiff enough on the hard snow near the top.

    Heavy but worth it

    Heavy compared with my fabric boots and they took a while to break in. Now I trust them on anything. Went half a size up for winter socks.
