I have been wearing Brasher boots for about 12 years. I am now on my 3rd pair and they are Hill Walker GTX boots. The reason that I keep buying Brasher rather than other brands that I have tried is that they provide the perfect balance between comfort, water-proofness, durability and cost. It has to be said that Brasher boots do not last as long as some other brands, but for the money they are excellent value.

In sunny weather, my feet do get a bit hot, but then in sunny weather it's okay to take a break and take the boots off for a while to let my feet breathe. I think it is the Goretex that makes them so hot in warm weather, but then living in the UK there are many more occasions that you need the Goretex because it's wet than that the Goretex is a nuisance because it's hot!

I find Hill Walker GTX boots to be a very comfortable weight, unlike some other boots I have had that have been very heavy. They are generally pretty comfortable over all terrains, but are not suitable for crampons and don't provide brilliant grip on ice and snow.

In summary, they are excellent value and are to be recommended for UK hill-walking.
