EXPERT REVIEW – Live for the Outdoors (Jan 2025)
Rating: 4.5/5 | Award: Best Women’s Walking Boot
"The women's version of the Trekker Lite III GTX is an airy, dreamy boot. Relative to robust mountain beasts like Meindl’s Bhutans, they are lightweight and breathable but still have the oomph and the poise to take you high – very high. We felt instantly confident on mountain paths when wearing them, with the kind of confidence that comes from many boxes being ticked at once. The Trekker Lite III GTX is supportive, both in terms of the lateral support, the ankle support, and the stiffness underfoot, which enables you to balance and push off from rocky terrain."

EXPERT REVIEW – The Independent (Jan 2025)
Rating: 4.5/5 | Featured in Best Women’s Hiking Boots for Rambling and Trekking
"The Italian-designed Trekker Lite is our pick of the pack of fabric boots for wear in Britain and is full of all the lovely stuff we’d expect for a boot with a higher price tag – expect deep-lugged Vibram soles, Gore-Tex waterproofing and breathable suede and fabric mixed outer. These boots also have excellent supportive, close-fitting high ankles. A good lacing system ties up snugly around the ankles, so if you tend to sprain or roll your ankles, the Trekker Lite is perfect for protecting them."
