“These boots are made for walking,” sang Nancy Sinatra, and it’s pretty much a given that most boots these days are made for walking.

Well, at least the ones we review in MMM are; you (well, we) wouldn’t go prancing about the hills or campsite in patent stiletto versions.

So outdoor gear specialist, Vango, has a range of footwear these days and these Grivolas are intended for tough and boggy terrain. Our trusty reviewer found that they didn’t need breaking in and they are pretty lightweight, plus they are just as comfy around town as they are on the hills. Even though they are fabric, the upper is waterproof and lined with a ProTex waterproof and breathable membrane.

Once thing to note is that sizes are European, so will suit people that are a half-size. The biggest is 47, which fitted our size 11 reviewer.

The boots are priced at £80 with sizes from 41 and you can get them in blue, green or black. There’s a women’s version, too, in sizes from 36 to 42 and blue or grey colour choices, also priced at £80.
