THE LIFE AND SOLE OF ADVENTURE

HIKING

Hi-Tec Wildfire Gamekeeper

If weight and comfort are your two main criteria for hiking boots, then you’ve met your match. These waterproof and windproof – but breathable – boots are shoehorned with smart, weight-saving engineering and comfort features: a lightweight fork shank; moulded heel chassis; and an armoured, reinforced upper that offers plenty of stability. All of the above provide flexibility without sacrificing support. Combine these features with an Ortholite sock liner with recovery foam and some soft mesh lining, and you end up with one of the most comfortable and supportive hiking boots for the money.
