HANWAG BANKS LOW GTX £170
Teaming an understated nubuck and suede leather upper with an aggressively studded sole, the Banks Low are extremely versatile shoes. The tread on the proprietary Endurance Hike outsole, with its pyramidstyle lugs, will shed mud making it ideal for lower level paths and trails, while its cushioned footbed with additional, soft heel reinforcement provides all-day comfort and a boost in momentum.
VERDICT Grippy, waterproof and comfortable shoes perfect for taking you from the door to the pub, via a 20-mile fell walk.
