Klim Outlander GTX boots in castlerock petrol

JamesL: Overall excellent boot

I combine hiking with bike trips and bought these hoping to save dragging around a set of walking boots as well as my Daytonas. Theyve certainly exceeded expectations on the bike they feel just like a biking boot, and in the hills they feel just like a walking boot. The only problem was that they do seem to come up small. Im a Euro45 but needed to go a size up on Klims chart to a US12. Otherwise, mine had a bit of wearing in hod carrying on the farm, and have been very comfortable since. Ive done proper hill walking in them in Scotland and theyve been absolutely fine. They give good feel on the bike and despite the sole being very grippy in the hills, theres no problem in moving your feet on the controls. Waterproofing is good, and I use my walking gaiters to fill in below my waterproofs.

Dizzy: Comfortable and good for a hike

I recently bought this boot from the excellent customer service at the Guildford store. It was exceptionally comfortable boot as soon as I put it on, the boa lacing is great, and it does feel like a hiking boot. However, the short few minutes of trying in a store is not the same as wearing it for an extended period. So I took it for a ride and then for a 10km hike as a test and surprising to me they were excellent. Definitely a boot you can wear all day.

Martin Wilson: Rain, rain and more rain

2023 - 2,000 plus mile trip around France - heading home just above Renne saw rain in distance - put on Scott waterproofs and 300 metres latter hit torrential rain!. The Outlanders are just tall enough and the Scott trousers just long enough to keep the wet out for the next 180k to Caen - they are great boots - very happy biker.
