LA SPORTIVA TRANGO TECH LEATHER GTX £255

This boot is protective and supportive, yet surprisingly comfortable. It features a single-piece nubuck leather upper with minimal stitching, high-ankled cut, soft tongue, and rubber protection at the heel and toe. Waterproofing is via a Gore-Tex lining and a rubber Vibram outsole provides slip-free traction with a front climbing zone for edging.

VERDICT A fully-featured, durable, leather boot that’s ideal for those big mountain days.
