GEAR OF<br />
THE YEAR<br />
<strong>2022</strong><br />
LA SPORTIVA TRANGO TECH LEATHER GTX £255<br />
This boot is one of the best we’ve tested in many years. The Trango Tech is protective<br />
and supportive, yet surprisingly comfortable. It features a single-piece nubuck<br />
leather upper with minimal stitching, high-ankled cut, soft tongue, and rubber<br />
protection at the heel and toe. Waterproofing is via a Gore-Tex lining and a rubber<br />
Vibram outsole provides slip-free traction with a front climbing zone for edging.<br />
VERDICT A fully-featured, durable, leather boot that’s ideal for big mountain days.<br />
As far as an all-round hiking boot goes, you’ll struggle to find anything better.<br />
