INOV-8 ROCLITE G 345 GTX £155

USED BY James Forrest, Trai● contributor

USED FOR 18 months

Last August I walked all 214 Wainwright fells in a continuous, self-supported round, covering 530km and ascending 36,000m in a fortnight. I chose to wear the trainer-like Inov-8 Roclite G 345 GTXs because I love how extremely lightweight and faultlessly comfortable they are. The lightweight upper is a little flimsy, but the graphene outsole delivers top-notch traction over rugged ground. VERDICT A comfy, waterproof and grippy boot for fast and light mountain adventures.
