INOV-8 ROCLITE PRO G 400 GTX £200

Designed for fast mountain adventures, the Roclite Pro G 400 is lightweight (370g per boot, women’s size 6.5) and comfortable, yet surprisingly burly. It offers trainer-like comfort, with soft, flexible ankle support, a lightweight Schoeller upper, and a waterproof GoreTex membrane. But this boot’s pièce de résistance is the graphene-infused rubber outsole with 6mm deep studs for excellent traction.

VERDICT An ultra-light and super-comfortable boot with excellent grip – but not as durable or sturdy as some might like.
