As a family we really enjoy talking long walks and have previous taken family walking holidays with HF Holidays to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
This year the plan was to tackle the Jurassic Coast and to take part in a 13-mile sponsored walk in aid of local charity Julia’s House, which is a local hospice for children with life-limiting conditions.
We are still waiting to see if this walk will still be able to take place, but in the meantime we are surviving lockdown by taking a walk a day locally.
I was sent some Rutland GTX® Walking Boots from Hotter Shoes to review and they are the most comfortable walking boots I have ever had the pleasure of wearing.
These sturdy lace-up ankle boots provide excellent support around the ankle and underfoot thanks to soft cushioning and their signature flexible and durable sole.
The Oil Aqua Nubuck upper is enhanced with Gore-Tex® product technology, which keeps rainwater out but allows inside moisture to escape; keeping feet dry, whatever the weather and thanks to the rain we had back in February and early March, I have really had the chance to put them to the test.
I am pleased to report that they kept my feet warm and dry, even when faced with huge, seemingly impassable puddles.
They have also kept my feet nice and cool in the recent warmer weather.
The Rutland GTX® Walking Boots have an RRP of £119, but Hotter Shoes currently have a 25% off everything using code UKEAST taking them down to £89.25

I always think it is a good thing to have a pair of walking boots, I love mine although they are getting old now so will need a new pair. I love the colour of these am off to have a proper look x
They look really comfy and I bet you can’t wait to take them on a proper walk – given the current lockdown rules for a short local walk! Stay safe!
My mummy loves Hotter shoes and these walking boots look fabulous and sound really comfortable for long walks x
Those are some great walking boots. I am hoping to get walking more once the lockdown is all over, enjoy that fresh air some more.
I love a good pair of walking boots! Mine have been with me for about five years and still look great. Though I will be looking into buying new ones once it is acceptable to go out again
These sound like great walking boots and so pleased to hear they did their job in keeping your feet warm/cool and dry too! They look really stylish and comfort if a big must when it comes to walking boots so it sounds like these tick all the boxes!
Now those look like some good walking boots! There is nothing quite like heading out into the country when the weather gets better is there?
They look great walking boots. We do a lot of walking and I’m terrible for not wearing the right shoes.
It is always good to have a solid pair of walking boots. I do not know what I would do without mine they are a must xx
A decent pair of boots are a must when going for a long walk! I did a 26 mile sponsored walk years ago when I was 16 wearing just my trainers, the blisters I had were unbelievable! I really hope your sponsored walk still goes ahead and good luck.
