RegattaMens Edgepoint III Outdoor Walking Trainers

Very comfortable and waterproof trainers. Got them for walking our dog. They have good grip and are easily cleaned.

I was really happy with these for dog walking. Performed as expected and waterproof claim holds true. Now after 100 days or so of daily use they have developed cracks at the point the toes bend. They now allow water ingress and I’m outside of the returns window. Would buy again.

I do a lot of hiking along our local rocky coast line and I need shoes with good grip on wet slippery rocks. Despite claims, very few hiking shoes (and no boots) have such grips and my shoe of choice is limited to the Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco 7 or 8 (a truly excellent all-round shoe). However, when my present pair started to wear out, I was a bit tight for cash and I also could not find a pair that did not have one of those headache inducing garish colour schemes. So I looked around for something cheap as a stand-in that appeared to have a similar grip type until I could afford the Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco (and find one in a toned down colour scheme).After considerable searching I eventually came across Regatta's Men's Edgepoint. It was cheap, promised to be waterproof, and had similar looking grips to the Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco. So I took a chance on them. What I got was a mixed bag.On the plus side, the Regatta's Men's Edgepoint has a slightly superior water saturation point than the already excellent Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco and the grip, while not as good as the Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco, were not far inferior and streets ahead of almost everything else.On the downside, these are very uncomfortable shoes as every pebble and sharp rock edge can be felt through the soles as if you were walking in bare feet: Often a painful experience. Furthermore, after a couple of weeks it was clear that wearing the Regatta Men's Edgepoint was aggravating an old knee injury, demonstrating that these are shoes that will negatively impact the wearers physical leg/foot health. It was clear that they needed arch support inserts (and I don't typically suffer from arch issues) to be wearable. I purchased some inserts which transformed the shoes and, despite the additional cost, was well worth it. Anybody buying these shoes needs to buy arch supporting inserts for them.Typically in my experience, hiking shoes will last about six months before I need to think about replacing them. My old Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco well exceeded this time frame (I think I was using them more or less continuously for about a year). I have only had the Regatta Men's Edgepoint for six weeks so I can't comment too much on longevity, but, what I will say, is that the seams appear to be holding up well - possibly better than the Asics GEL-FujiTrabuco - but I am noticing what I consider to be higher than desirable wear on the grip surfaces and I suspect that they won't last the six months.Would I buy these shoes again? Possibly, but only if a similar situation arises where I can't afford or find my preferred shoe. Regatta Men's Edgepoint are an adequate cheap stand-in until I can get something better; nothing more.

As above really. The trainers were for work and ok for the price but we’re too small at a size 8 which is my preferred size so I returned them with no problems but to go up another size it would have cost me another £7 so I went elsewhere.

This is an early review so I cannot speak to their long term comfort or durability but I can say that on initial trial they are very comfortable, very light weight, just like slippers. They are very snug however, I am a UK 9 and they are not so much tight but close fitting but as they're intended for fast and long walks this may be a good thing as there will be no slack inside. The padding around the ankles is very good, very comfortable.I have however discovered a downside; the laces are a nightmare to fasten and there's a reason: If you notice the photographs above and the design of the lace loopholes.....normal loopholes (holes in the leather) allow the laces to be gripped as they are being fed inside to outside and the grip being applied by the tension of being held fast to between feet and leather. These trainers differ as you can see, they weave the laces through loops that travel completely up the outside of the trainers and therefore are not gripped as they tighten....these means that constant tension is needed to keep the laces sufficiently tightened as you try to fasten them. Even the slightest release of this tension and the laces loosen immediately and are not held by the grip of the inside out action.I like these trainers so much in every other respect I have bought some non-slip laces to try.....if they don't work I'm afraid the trainers, good as they are might have to be returned......if takes three hours to fasten a pair of trainers to your liking, they are counterproductive.......sad!OK, a month in and the new grippy laces in place......and....they're still a right pain in the neck to fasten for the reasons I've highlighted above, I'll be wearing these till they're done but will not be buying anything with a similar design in lace loops, they're a bad, ill thought out design, clearly for made for looks as opposed to practicality.

Good value for money. Still waterproof after several weeks. I won't be buying from Mountain warehouse again.

I bought these to replace a pair of trainers, that said I went walking and thought I’d try them out.The good points are they are very comfortable, took impacts well and waterproofing held up well.The bad point is they have absolutely no grip or stability whatsoever on wet grass or the slightest bit of mud, this wasn’t serious hiking just a potter round a nature reserve and I ended up on my backside twice. I could have walked this in trainers with no problem.They will be great as trainers which is what I wanted them for but would’t recommend for anything other than tarmac,concrete or dry pathways.

Lightweight and look sturdy topside the knobbly grip is perfect for what I wanted to keep my steady on wet golf courses. I wouldn't try using them on mountain trails because the soles feel relatively thin
