Our verdict
The La Sportiva Finale is an incredible shoe. I’d struggle to pick a better all-rounder. It offers all the comfort of a “beginner/comfy” shoe, but still holds its own when it comes to performance.

The Salomon X Ultra 5 are a dependable, sturdy shoe, making no compromise on comfort. I will continue to use these for day hikes and adventures. These are my new go-to shoes for mixed-condition days!

The La Sportiva Prodigio Pros have quickly become my favourite. I could wear them running 200 miles through South Wales, blasting some fast single track, or up in the mountains. Regardless of where I am running, this is the shoe I would choose because I know I can rely on it to be comfy and perform in a vast range of conditions.

On the hill training
Getting staff out on the Hill is crucial to ensuring the best customer service. Staff experiencing the kit in the environment it is designed for is crucial for a true understanding and better knowledge of the products. We also love spending time in the great outdoors with our colleagues, whether it's scrambling in Wales or tackling winter in the Cairngorms. We allow our staff to learn about the best kit in the worst conditions.
