The Columbia Trailstorm Hiking Shoes are part of a trend for walking shoes that are a little more fashionable and perhaps an al-rounder more than a hiking shoe.
The focus on urban living in the description will appeal to keen walkers living in cities.
But, are these shoes good enough to handle what is thrown at them in this landscape?
The Regatta Samaris II Walking Boots say rugged, effective hiking boots from the moment you see them.
But, there is an interesting promise in the description that this is a little lighter than normal.
This should make it easier for hikers to go the distance, but is this the case?
The Salomon Outward GTX Hiking Shoes look really stylish compared to other hiking shoes.
Because there is such attention to detail in the more streamlined shape and the placement of the colour blocks.
It looks fun, more than a little smart, and like it should handle a good walk. Is this the case?
The Regatta Clydebank Walking Boots looks like a classic walking shoe that is ready to handle a country walk and some muddy ground.
Regatta is a popular name because of the range of designs and affordable footwear on offer.
The price point here is as big a selling point as anything in the specification. Should we expect much from this cheap walking shoe?
The KEEN Ridge Flex Hiking Boot is a boot that looks like it is ready for a good long walk.
There is a more heavy-duty look than some of the more relaxed designs around – although you do get some fun colour combinations to choose from.
The aim here is to provide something flexible for climbing and protective and comfortable enough for general use. Were the makers successful?
