Our Top 5 Women's Walking Boots

Here's our guide to the best walking boots available, specifically for women. We'll be updating the list regularly so, if you're looking to treat your feet for that next adventure on the hills, this is the best place to look.

1. Lowa Renegade GTX (£150)

Providing superb comfort straight out of the box, the Lowa Renegades offer a compelling package of durability, support, flexibility and grip. The nubuck leather uppers are flexible and include a breathable Goretex lining, which is seamless to avoid blister spots. There is also a Vibram sole to keep you on your climate-controlled feet. The fit is a little narrow, so these might not be the best choice for wider feet. In our view, these are the best multi-purpose boots available.

2. Salomon Quest 4D 3 GTX (£150)

This is the latest generation of Quest walking boots from the masters of lightweight sports footwear, Salomon. Fully waterproof, thanks to the combination of Nubuck leather and Goretex lining, and boasting a better grip than previous generations, due to the redesigned lugs and Contragrip sole. These are ideal for a wider fitting and are designed to avoid fatigue on long days on the trail, courtesy of their superb cushioning and support.

3. Keen Terradora Leather Mid (£135)

A midweight walking boot that Keen say has been designed specifically for women. These boots are comfortable and flexible, with the nubuck leather upper and Keen's own waterproof lining providing protection from the elements.

Stability and grip are very good and these boots are comfortable enough for long days on the hills - or marathon shopping expeditions.

4. Berghaus Women's Hillwalker II GTX (£95)

A classic boot, designed specifically for British weather conditions. Whatever can they mean?

If you encounter one of those unusual wet days (and you will), these full grain leather boots with Goretex lining will keep your feet dry and the supportive midsole provides excellent stability and comfort.

They're lighter than they look, and the memory foam support around the collar is a great luxurious touch, too.

5. Scarpa Peak GTX (£165)

A design classic, with a higher cut which provides excellent ankle support, these boots feel as protective as full leather boots but without the weight penalty. Goretex lined and with a suede finish, these boots will be great companions on long treks, particularly on rocky surfaces, thanks to the comfortable midsole.

These boots are designed for a relatively narrow fitting and they grip the heel superbly on uneven trails.
