Salewa Vultur Vertical GTX Boots

Warm, supportive and protective, these solid B3 boots are far from lightweight, but thanks to their excellent flexible collar they still feel surprisingly nimble for climbing. Compared to some aggressively techy boots their more generous fit may particularly suit wider-footed users, and personally I've found them really comfy on long walk-ins and snowy Munro days. Quality mountain boots don't come cheap, so I think the £360 price tag for the Vultur Vertical GTX is quite a bargain. I'll be wearing them out of choice long after this review has been published, and I guess that's a pretty decent endorsement.
