There are few brands that consistently come out on top, feature in the top five tried and tested reviews and maintain a reputation that many others look upon enviously, but Brasher manages to do this year on year with their new collections of walking footwear. Among their latest offerings, Brasher welcomes the Hillwalker GTX to their repertoire and already, it’s making its mark.
Drawing on years of experience in the footwear industry, Brasher specialises in designing and delivering out-of-the box comfort with every pair of boots they manufacture, and keeps in mind its core heritage and values when developing new designs. The latest collection for walkers in 2011 builds on this and keeps its styles classic throughout.
The Hillwalker is one of Brasher’s best-selling hiking boots and it doesn’t take much to see exactly why this is. With a luxurious approach to walking footwear, the Hillwalker features 1.6-1.8mm full grain leather outer, making for both an easy to care for material, and a retro take on the styles of walking boots from years gone by. But while in looks, these durable boots may echo a time past, they’re thoroughly modern in the technology that’s built into them.
When choosing walking boots, weight can be a huge deciding factor for most so making sure that walking in a pair of boots isn’t going to feel like you’re dragging your feet the whole way is something that Brasher take carefully into consideration. Weighing in at a mere 1202g per pair, the Brasher Hillwalkers are lightweight and perfect for a day of outdoor adventures. As walkers are fully aware, the importance placed on providing durable yet flexible soles is vital and so The Brasher Hillwalker also enjoys excellent durability and traction control in its rubber sole with a shock absorbing EVA midsole.
While on the exterior, these Brasher boots maintain an air of nostalgia, inside the technology speaks for itself. A GORE-TEX lining takes all the elements of warmth, dryness and comfort and multiplies them to provide complete peace of mind. Breathable and waterproof, GORETEX lining also protects against the elements of cold weather. A winning combination of protection and performance, rain and cold is kept at bay yet excessive heat and moisture can escape leaving a comfortable environment for the feet to sit in all day, making walking in the Brasher Hillwalkers a much more enjoyable pursuit.
The Brasher Hillwalker GTX boots are available for both men and women in a classic chocolate brown shade, adding to the image of a hard wearing and classic pair of boots, perfectly designed for venturing through the valleys and hills of a demanding and tough terrain.
The best hiking boots feature all the essentials – great ankle support for tackling a rugged landscape, a tough sole that is made to handle whatever ground it traverses and a design that fills you with confidence to get out and explore. Brasher continues to tick every box with its footwear every season and the Brasher Hillwalker GTX certainly doesn’t disappoint.
