The outdoor footwear market is a very large and growing market, there are hundreds of varieties of boots for all types of activities and terrains.
We have researched several brands and eventually settled on a couple of brands, at the top end of the scale we have chosen
Kayland for its technical and diverse range encompassing high performance boots capable of withstanding very cold environments, expedition use and high altitude ascents. Available in Mens & Womens Sizes

Kayland is a successful Italian manufacturer of high performance mountaineering boots. Now available in the UK, the Kayland range has proved very popular on a worldwide scale. Testing and development takes place in the mountains around Chamonix, in the heart of the French Alps, where mountain guides and rescue team members provide valuable feedback for the development of this exciting new footwear brand.
The emphasis throughout the Kayland range is geared strongly towards "minimum weight, maximum function", this is achieved by utilising the latest technology and the highest quality components during the manufacturing process. Kevlar is just one of the many materials incorporated into the design of several models where minimum weight is required, without sacrificing durability - a feature that is unique to Kevlar. Waterproofing is guaranteed with Kayland's own, fully taped "bootie construction" H20Proof and Event linings.
Our second Choice is Grisport, this Italian manufacturer is one of the five biggest manufacturers of outdoor footwear in Europe.
Grisport made their first pair of walking boots in 1977, and by the turn of the millennium this production had grown to well in excess of 2 million pairs per year.
