Aoraki, better known as Mount Cook, is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It has a reputation for being a tough place, with plenty of wind and even more rain - rather like the UK. So it’s only fitting that NZ-based outdoor clothing firm Ridgeline should make an equally tough and hard-wearing pair of boots, and give them the same Maori moniker.
Aoraki Boots are a high-leg type made of nubuck leather and have a Vibram XS Trek sole. They’re also waterproof, and feature an anti-scuff band and a gel insole. Aoraki Boots are available now and have a suggested retail price of £229.99, which includes a boot bag. Go to www.ridgelineclothing.co.uk to find out more.
