Brasher's latest fabric hill-walking boot hits the
shops this week in the shape of the Lairg GTX in both men's
and women's versions.
The new boot is described as ' a classic fabric hillwalking boot'
and 'perfect for walking in the British hills and valleys and on low
level paths and trails' and promises 'out of the box comfort'.
The Lairg GTX features a 2.0mm suede upper with fabric panels and
a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex liner for wading through puddles.
The sole unit is Vibram and there's an EVA midsole to give a
cushioned ride on harder surfaces and reduce weight.
It bears a visual resemblance to the well-received Borgue GTX
leather boot, and we'd expect similar levels of cushioned comfort
with a well-padded inner plus a lighter weight, but that's just
speculation for now.
We should have a pair to review shortly, so more news then. Price
for the Lairg GTX is £90. More details at www.brasher.co.uk
