Supalite XCR scores well in TGO's lightweight boot test

Tested by Chris Townsend, Gear Editor, TGO:
"When these boots first appeared I quite liked them. I still do. They have a striking appearance belying brasher's old subdued look. They're made from mesh reinforced with suede. The latter is one piece, cleverly cut so no seems are needed. There's a hard rubber toe bumper and a solid heel counter. The cushioning is thick and effective and the sole has good grip on all types of terrain other than ice. "
"The fit is quite roomy though and I can't comfortably wear thick socks with these boots. After a fair amount of use the only sign of wear is a little fluffing up of the mesh just above the sole, so durability seems good. The weight is reasonable, as is the price, given the Gore-Tex XCR lining.
Score: 4/5
