Waterproof comfort for the trail

The Hi-Tec Raven Mid is a mid height, waterproof hiking boot built around comfort and durability. At roughly 17cm tall with a thickly padded collar, it gives reassuring ankle support on uneven ground while staying light on the foot at around 450g per boot.

Dri-Tec keeps you dry

At the heart of the Raven is Hi-Tec’s Dri-Tec waterproof and breathable membrane. It seals out water from wet grass, bogs and rain while letting moisture vapour escape, so your feet stay dry from the inside and out. Independent reviewers rate it as performing on a par with far pricier membranes.

Cushioning and grip that last

A lightweight compression moulded EVA midsole delivers excellent underfoot cushioning, while a durable carbon rubber outsole grips confidently across trail, rock and mud. The soft shell upper adds all day comfort with minimal break in.

Vegan friendly and DofE ready

The Raven is vegan friendly, using no animal materials, and comes recommended for Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions. That makes it a superb choice for students, weekend walkers and anyone building an outdoor kit. Team it with base layers and trousers from our clothing range.

Frequently asked questions

How waterproof is the Hi-Tec Raven Mid?

It uses Hi-Tec's own Dri-Tec waterproof and breathable membrane, which seals out water while letting sweat vapour escape. Reviewers rate it highly for keeping feet dry in wet grass and rain while staying breathable on the move.

Is the Raven boot suitable for Duke of Edinburgh?

Yes. The Raven Mid is specifically recommended for DofE (Duke of Edinburgh Award) expeditions, offering the waterproofing, ankle support and comfort needed for multi day walks with a loaded pack.

Are these boots vegan friendly?

Yes. The Raven Mid is built from synthetic soft shell materials with no leather or animal derived components, making it a genuinely vegan friendly hiking boot.

Do the Raven boots need breaking in?

The soft shell upper and cushioned EVA midsole mean most walkers find them comfortable quickly, with little of the stiff break in period associated with leather boots. A short local walk first is always sensible.

What terrain are these boots best for?

The mid cut and carbon rubber outsole suit hiking, rambling, DofE routes and general outdoor adventures across mixed UK trails. They give more ankle support than a shoe while staying light for long days.
