If you are planning to spend the half term in the great outdoors or simply getting out walking as a family at the weekends, Chichon GTX is the perfect answer to keep your children and their feet happy.

Voted by the Daily Express this Saturday as "one of the best walking boots" which already adds to its "Best In Test" Trail awards in the past four consecutive years.

As described by the Express "this walking boot for kids comes with a GORE-TEX lining ideal for walking on well defined paths and over moderate terrain."

Your children can walk and splash in as many puddles as they like and their feet will remain dry and comfortable all day long.

Billy Stevenson sent us this comment of his experience wearing his Neon's on a recent holiday.

"Just got back from a 2 week holiday in Italy. Spent it walking all over Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and the rest of the penninsula. I purchased a pair of brasher Neon's after they were mentioned in The Times Travel section because I can never seem to get a decent trainer style shoe for walking in. Average temperature was 32degrees and they did a great job, not only were they extremely comfortable to wear, my feet stayed cool thanks to your mesh upper. FAB!"

This comment from a happy brasher wearer (who was enquiring about replacement laces) popped into our inbox recently - she was keen to let us know how pleased she has been with her trusty Supalite's.

"Firstly I must say I am on my 3rd pair of Supalite GTX ladies walking boots and what a dream. I do have difficult feet and have had many operations and your boots are a dream so thank you very much. I have managed to convince four friends and they are also very happy."

If you have a favourite pair of brasher's let us know!

Neon's are a new product for Spring Summer 09.

We received the following comments from a happy customer who was delighted with her Neon's. "The brasher Neon is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn plus they are versatile, supportive, truly breathable and stylish.
Please, please produce them in shades of brown."

They are available in men's and women's in a choice of two colours.

The Valle de Genal lies west of Malaga and north of Marbella. Juzcar is one of the seven villages of the Alto (Upper) Genal Valley.
Fran O'Donnell sent us this account of her trip to this beautiful part of southern Spain.

The charming hotel Bandolero www.hotelbandolero.com was our base for a self-guided holiday exploring the other villages along the ancient mule tracks. Rural tourism is only just beginning to find it's way into this valley that makes few concessions to visitors but does offer the chance to see Andalucian Eagles - we did!

In June, it was hot - very hot - and the tracks were dusty, reflecting the fierce heat of the sun. brasher's Neon walking shoes were ideal footwear for the trip. My feet didn't overheat, the soles coped superbly with the steep terrain and the fit was brilliant. Despite walking many miles every day, there was not even the sniff of a sore spot or blister (brasher socks helped) and I was able to slip them on again after a refreshing shower at the end of the day. Just as well they were the only shoes I took on holiday. Super comfortable, they were fine for travelling, on the trail and sightseeing in nearby Ronda.

If you've been out and about in your brasher's send us a few lines telling us where you've been wearing them along with a photo and we'll publish it on the blog.
