"Since getting a dog, this seasonal displeasure has only gotten worse. In the spring and summer, I adore getting out for long, rambling hikes, exploring new areas and getting lost in the English countryside with no one around but me and my f our-legged friend. But autumn brings with it the promise of dark morning walks before the sun's risen, pulling on waterproofs and treading through sludge and mud while the dog gets progressively more muddy and sopping wet."
"I've always associated FitFlops with comfort and ease - shoes to slip on when you're popping to the shops, often built with extra support for those who need it. It's not a brand that previously would spring to mind for style or for walks longer than a gentle stroll. So when I spotted these hiking boots (full name Neo-D-Hyker Waterproof Zip-Front Padded Sub-Zero Walking Boots, a real mouthful), I was immediately intrigued."
"Let's start with the look. Chunky and visibly quilted, with a decent-sized platform. There's a zip up the front, a hi-vis strip on the heel for darker evening walks, mudguards along the sides and on top of the toes, and the soles have deep-lug treads for mucky terrain and extra grip."
Autumn brings shorter days, drizzle, mud, and dark morning walks that make countryside outings less enjoyable. A dog amplifies these inconveniences by getting muddy and wet on every walk. Numerous walking shoes were tested; Hunter Play clogs remained for drizzle and Scarpa Terra boots were favoured for long, technical hikes, yet a middle-ground boot was needed for leisurely countryside ambles. FitFlops, typically associated with casual comfort and support, introduced the Neo-D-Hyker Waterproof Zip-Front Padded Sub-Zero Walking Boots. The boots are chunky and quilted, with a front zip, hi‑vis heel strip, mudguards, and deep-lug soles providing grip on mucky terrain.
