We've always taken the fit of our boots seriously here at brasher.

Which is why our Sales Director Steve Fowler doesn't only know our boots inside out, but he's also a dab-hand at the all important art of boot-fitting.

Last Thursday, saw him put his skills to the test and gave a bespoke boot fitting to Trail Magazine's Technical Director, Graham Thompson, (pictured above), with a pair of our hush-hush new 'Borgue GTX' boots, due to be launched next year as part of our Spring/Summer 2008 range.

Graham is one of many influential gear testers in the outdoor industry and helps to point enthusiasts in the right direction for the very best in outdoor gear. We are certainly looking forward to his views on how the new boot performs under challenging trekking conditions.

Most people have very different dimensions to their foot which can affect both comfort and performance. And in fact, at the fitting, Steve discovered that Graham is naturally blessed with a slightly narrow foot, To arrive at the perfect fit the right combination of brasher volume adjusters and foot beds we're brought into play. This gives an absolutely fit, which can obviously make or break a day in the hills.

(Incidentally, you don't have to be a top magazine reviewer to get this kind of treatment. We train all brasher stockists to provide you with exactly the same fitting service.)

You can read Graham's verdict on the Borgue GTX in the April 2008 issue of Trail magazine.

Fingers, (and volume adjusted toes) crossed everyone.
