Product Reviews
Review by Malcolm
Have bought several pairs of Zamberlan Trail Lite over the years and find them comfortable waterproof and longlasting. They have needed very little breaking in and the sole pattern grips well on muddy paths. I prefer to wear lightweight boots in the summer months but these boots actually work out better value in cost per mile. I buy in Size 8 to allow for thicker socks compared with Size 7 or 7.5 in formal footwear.
Review by Philip Bosworth
My 3rd pair of these boots now; thats not a criticism of their durability (I walk a lot of miles) but a testament to their quality. They require a little breaking in as any good boot should but their comfort and waterproofness is second to none.

Long may Zamberlan prosper because I dont know where else I would get a boot to fit my narrow feet. When regularly cleaned and waxed the uppers will last longer than the sole. Quality.
Review by Chris Dunkley
Been using zamberlan boots from way back 40 years maybe. These are the best although hot having a goretex lining not easy buying boots with out one these days and probably need one anyway. Fit perfect using one pair of socks no need for more they are that comfy!! Get a size bigger as always. Remember never ever go near a heat source with these it will kill them the leather will be destroyed and the glue will break down. Sharp rocks will cut the leatherbe careful where you walk and foot placement. The construction is the best ever with the tongue part of the boot sides never seen this on any boot before superb quality and a very reasonable price thanks to Uttings! Dont buy Griseport will be in the trash bin in a year from personal experience. Keep well greased apply every 23 weeks if used daily and they will last you a long time highly recommended !!

This is my third pair of Zamberlan Trail Lite GTX walking boots. Love the fact that theyre made in one piece of leather and are fully waterproof even in a pouring rain. They are really comfortable mould well to my feet and if well looked after will last for years.
Review by John Evans
My last pair of Zamberlan boots lasted nearly twenty years were very comfortable and used over many terrains including mountains and snow conditions performing well with the hydobloc keeping them waterproof. New ones look very similar are hand made in Italy. Only time will tell if they are as good as my first Zamberlan boots.High quality one piece leather upper with vibram sole I very much prefer leather compared to synthetic uppers.
Review by Mrs Dalrymple
Comfy and lingerie lasting. My last pair has given me 3 years of daily use and regrettably it was the soles that wore out.
Review by Gillian Barrow
Great quality leather good fit and recommend sizing up very comfortable boots my last pair of Zamberlan are 30 years old.
Review by Ron Spark
Great boots always worn zamberlan no other manufacturers will beat zamberlan. Highly recommend
Review by Michael Clarke
My old pair lasted 11 years and only my neglecting to condition the leather shortened their life. These seem equally comfortable and robust and they do not seem to have changed in any way.
Review by Phillip Howitt
Narrower Italian fit that is good for me. Uttings prices are spot on. Good value and you get a quality leather walking boot the same price as the higher end of other brands. You just know that Zamberlans will last you nigh on a lifetime! The others will not. Got these leather Trail Lites as they are tougher and easier to clean than fabric boots for cold wet and muddy environments. For a marginal weight increase.
Review by Dr John Shand

Zamberlans...not my first pair...simply the best walking boots in the world.
Review by Just 50
I have large but narrow feet well suited to the narrow last on which Zamberlan boots are made. The Goretex lining works well as long as the leather is occasionally cleaned and reproofed with Hydrobloc. I have been wearing Zamberlan for a dozen years. The first pair separated from the sole after 10 years daily use as a landscaper paving in over 30 degree C heat would put paid to many a shoe! The second pair remain comfortable and waterproof. This third pair is to give me a chance to clean the second pair! The only concern I have is that the soles can be slippery on wet rocks. As I have a tendency to overpronation in all footwear and resultant knee pain I remove the insole and replace with Foot Active Sports orthotic insoles to better anchor the heel and provide greater arch support. Size XL fits perfectly in the size 48/13 boots.
Review by Linda Gray
This is my second pair of Zamberlan walking boots. I know they are quite pricey but well worth the money. My first pair lasted about 9 years. I am not disappointed in them comfortable and supportive whilst walking. I went a size up from my usual size so that I could wear a thick pair of walking socks.
Review by Joanne
I am very happy with my boots I did size up as advised by other reviewers and this was necessary for me too. Lovely quality and very comfortable breaking in nicely and already water tested!
Review by Jo
For me Zamberlan leather boots are still the best ones around for winter hiking. I have been a Zamberlanfan for many years now. This is my third pair the previous ones just got porous after 10 years of sterling service but are still mighty comfy and usable as summer hikers as long as the rain holds off. Uttings are my prefered provider as they offer prompt service and unbeatable prices.
Review by Audrey Clarke
This is the 4th pair of boots I have bought over 20 years the quality is still as good.
Review by Customer
Been using Zamberlan boots for years and IMHO are the best on the market and made in Italy not China as so many other brands now are.
Review by Susan F
Replacement for pair of Zamberlan boots I had for many many years. Old favourites I was worried I would not be able to replicate but these are just as comfortable even on their first outing. Fabulous!
Review by Gerald Peachey
This is my fourth pair of zamberlan boots. Been very pleased with them so far.
Review by David Johnson
This is my second pair. The first pair have lasted for three yearsat 30 miles per week.
Review by Graham Precey
I have bought the same Zamberlans I bought 4 years ago. The old ones developed leaks where the leather cracked but thats more me not looking after the properly. UNot using dubbin as much as I should have. I have worn those shoes nearly every day and the new ones are comfortable straight away. I wouldnt buy another make of walking boot.cant see the point.
Review by Susan , Wirral
Nice quality bought to replace a 12 year old pair of zamberlans had to go up 2 sizes though so as other reviews have said they do come up small. For info I am a 6 (39) and ended having to exchange the 40 for a 41 now fit is just right. There isnt that much difference going up sizes so 2 sizes up isnt much.
Review by Ian Habben
Great pair of boots! I had to buy two sizes bigger as they come up quite narrow. The last pair of Zamberlans I owned lasted twenty years so a lot to live up to! Great customer care from Uttings
Review by Mathew Wistow
Had a pair of the previous model for many years so obvious choice to buy these and quality fit and comfort is completely as expected. First time on they were just as comfortable as the worn in pair.Highly recommended.
Review by Nick
Slightly biased best boots in the world.Just the right fit and stiffness for me. The lacing system makes them easier to put on and tie up.I have tried other manufacturers but for me nothing comes close. Quality shines through.
Review by Richard Britt
An excellent boot I own the predecessors and they have served me well for 10 years I look forward to a similar performance from these
Review by Georgem

Bought these as they looked the nearest thing to my >20yo Zamberlans that needed replacing. Don’t care that they are “Unisex” – buy what works. I’ve given them a severe beating & they’ve handled everything I could throw at them. The Vibram Grivola sole is great & seems considerably more durable than the fancier sole on the 960 Guide GTX guide boots that I also bought. My feet must be well suited to the Zamberlan last because the moment I put them on, I felt as if I could walk forever in them.
