Viberg

As a brand, Viberg sits at the upper end (and beyond) of most people’s budgets, but you only need to cast an eye over its men’s hiking boots to see why.

The Canadian footwear firm only produces one style that it has been perfecting since 1970. The shoe came about when founder Edwin Viberg traded construction patterns with a fellow boot-maker, gaining the supple suede and leather technical boots in the process.

Dr Martens

Don’t be mistaken, Dr Martens doesn’t just cover the Chelsea boot-clad the trotters of teenage rebels; the brand also makes some equally impressive technical hiking boots.

The best examples fuse the label’s heavy-duty translucent soles with performance detailing realized in incognito colorways. Ideal for the would-be hiking boot wearer who wants to keep a low profile.

Saloman

Given that it was founded in the French Alps, it stands to reason that Saloman creates some of the best outdoor gear on the market, for everything from running to skiing and, of course, hiking. More surprising, though, is that the brand has become a fixture of the fashion pack, with sell-out collaborations with the likes of Palace and Beams.
