For some people, achieving 2 out of 10 isn't anything to crow about.

But getting not one, but two brasher boots as finalists in The Independent's review of the ten best walking boots isn't half bad in our book, (or our blog and their newspaper come to that.)

At number 8:The brasher Supalite XCR.

And at number 1: The brasher Hillmaster GTX.

So a big thank you to The Independent, and a great big thank you to the walkers of Britain who make our legendary Hillmaster the best-selling walking boot in the country.

Footnote:
Breaking news. As of mid-Feb 08 an upgraded version of the Hillmaster GTX will be available throughout the country. Features to look out for are; additional comfort points, (yep, amazingly we've made them even more comfortable), a re-introduction of leather linings, (yep, we do take notice of customer feedback), same amazing fit, same light weight to strength ratio.
