Great Outdoors 2026 Guide: Buying Leather Hiking Boots

Great Outdoors 2026 Guide: Buying Leather Hiking Boots
GO Tested at Egoli Venue — 25 Years of Drakensberg Experience

Tired of boots that leak, split, or cripple you by day 3? After 25 years testing gear for Great Outdoors magazine, here’s what actually lasts in SA conditions.

For 3 decades we’ve put boots through Drakensberg storms, Richtersveld heat, and factory floors.

Leather still wins — if you buy right.

In this 2026 GO Guide you’ll get:
✓ The 5 things to check before you spend R2k on leather boots
✓ Why ‘waterproof’ means nothing if the stitching fails
✓ GO Tested Picks: Bukskins, Jim Green, Woodland — which boot for which trail
✓ The break-in method we used on KZN trails since 1998
✓ Care checklist: Make your boots last 10 years, not 10 months

This is the same advice we gave in Great Outdoors print. Now updated for 2026 and tested at Egoli Venue.
