Zamberlan Ultralite GTX

The Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX is extremely light for a leather boot as it weighs in at just 1358g (pair, size 46) and while it may not boast the stunning good looks of some more striking models, when you do take a closer look it has some pretty good design features for tackling British hills.

A leather upper with minimal stitching and a full rubber rand. The toe box is very firm, as is the heel cup, making this ideal for rockier ground. With a low-cut ankle cuff is and soft the padding means the Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX isn’t very restrictive on the foot.

Underneath there’s a good aggressive Vibram sole unit that boasts a set of deep, widely spaced lugs along with good stiffness, making this ideal for typical British hill and mountain terrain. The walking action is very smooth and there’s enough stiffness to scramble up rock, making the Zamberlan Ultra Lite GTX ideal for most British hillwalkers.
