**** Action Trekking have been discontinued now.. we ar trying to get in touch with Action/Campus to get them back.. go for CTR till then.. almost as good..

Hi Captain, this is the best video on trekking shoes.Thanks for your in-depth research and pointing out the salient features of each brand with cost.
Got the CTR after watching your video, Did my first Sandakphu Phalut trek and this shoe is actually comfortable
I have the exact model Woodland Trek on the thumbnail. It's 10 years old and only used on dry conditions. Just cleaned it yesterday and looks and feels new. Back then I got them for 3600Rs( This was before Online sales/50% offs so it's MRP I guess.)
This video is relevant even after 4 yrs. Super content. Your knowledge thru real love for the outdoors is so refreshing and inspiring.I would love to connect (I live on Baner now but the cafe is shut).
Very soon :)
Just came across your channel. Very useful video . This video answered so many questions .
Ultimate bhhaaaaai
Gajab information... Bahut bahut shukriya....
Amazing video. Jam packed info. Kudos. Thanks for sharing. I’ll share my experience with decathlon recently with their ‘Trek 100’ shoes. The sole of this particular shoes are of bad quality. After investing 5k I was expecting them to last long enough. But within 3 years (Post warranty) the sole completely ripped off in pieces. Now there are completely useless as decathlon does not offer any repair nor they were apologetic for selling such poor quality shoes when confronted in store. Not just me even my 7/8 cousins we all had bought the same shoes together before going for Sarpass Trek in May 2018 everyone’s shoes are useless now. Imagine the kind of money they made. So I will recommend either save money and go for higher brands such as Columbia, north face, etc or buy cheap ones so it doesn’t make you regret even if the shoes tear apart. This is video is has all the info one needs before buying trekking or hiking shoes. As said shoes are the most Important for your any trek.
Glad you found it useful mate.. what you e written is so true .. but unfortunately in that price bracket, we have no other option than decathlon.. :(
For Bengal, use shreeleathers, not waterproof but very good
Hey bro, I'm going on Kedarnath trek and this will be my 1st trek. Which shoe do you recommend? Budget is Rs.2000-2500
Am using woodland since 2009 olive .. It last till 2013..den 2014 new one brown last till 2017... Again I purchased olive green it last till last week of May 2021..now I purchased new olive green woodland.... I lov it
Yess I like them too.. super sturdy and comfortable.. I've used them for a looong time.. they're just not meant for trekking :)
Nice and very informative video ....thanks for providing such rich information.
Hi, I will be trekking in the sahyadri for the first time this august. Do u think action trekking high ankle shoes will have sufficient grip...I'm especially concerned about grip on wet rocks and slush..More so on the irshalgad trek...I suppose kalavantin would be too risky for monsoons
Action Trekking work like a charm in the Sahyadri.. before doing kalavantin or irshal, use the shoes in the city for a few days.. kalavantin can be done in the Monsoons too but with an experienced team.. else, Nov to Feb is the best time to visit Kalavantin...
I will suggest you to try Goldstar 401. One of the most underrated i guess
Hey hi,
Would you recommend the CTR for a casual trek in Meghalaya ( root bridges) and Wei Sawdong falls. It could be slushy at times over there.
If not the CTR, which one would you recommend?
Note: I do hardly 2-3 light treks in a year and I get peanuts for salary.
Awesome bro... Great review
What about fitwell india?
So true for the Wildcraft shoes.
I got their flagship Amphibia trekking shoes.
The sole got seperated only after one hike.
Wildcraft*
@@CaptainParbat my bad 😂
Autocorrect
I use woodland in dry season , they grip very well on rocks and uneven suface.
Hello Captain...i will be going on Panpatia col trek in May this year..i do travel a lot and 1-2 good treks in a year..what shoe will be the good one.if you can suggest please
What about quechua mh100?
Please give me your verdict.
Want to do kedarnath trek post which I am planning to use them sahyadri
Hi
Thanks for video, it is very informative.
Planning to go for winter snow trek kedarkantha.. In budget range which shoe will be good.?
Quechua are good.. you can also do the kedarnath in Action Trekking, but Quechua are more comfortable.
Nice very informative
The way you portrayed CTR Coaster. It pursueded me to buy them. Lets see how they turn out.
Bro review please???
How's the review of ctr ?
How's it holding up bro?
Woodland proplanet is a Marvellous 👌and not bad as per your review
Nope, they're bad for trekking too. I have used them. I'm sure you'll change your opinion after using Lowa or Action 😀
I've the Action Treking shoes and they are amazing
Where to buy them could you please share the link
@@tejsurya1 just go to any shoe shop,there you will easily find them
Very informative
👌
I can't find last shoes action trackking shoes can you plz send me link
On the money review bro...i was really confused about woodland,red chief, Quechua and wild craft...Well i have ordered a pair of Quechua MH500...and looking forward to a review of it too from you
Poor grip on mossy rocks
R group use action trekker, 750rs only, slip resistant on wet rock surface, although not waterproof or water resistant.
Great video bro
Please share buying link of Action trekking shoes.
Great work
Make video on most treeking shoes sold by decathlon and difference between hiking and trekking shoes
Please give your thoughts on Columbia trekking shoes
Hi. Informative video. Can you also tell about shoes by columbia?
What about quechua sh100 warm shoe??
Hi Captan Parbat. Thanks for the video. After watching your video definitely i'll buy Action trekking shoe. As they have good grip. Only one question I have i.e. Does it useful for all terrain (slippery/wet). Is it useful for rocky and slippery terrain of Sahyadri. Please answer.
And what about quechua NH1000 & MH1000.
Absolutely! They work best on Basaltic rock.. which Sahyadri is full off! Even on wet surface they work superb... Only be careful of moss...
@@CaptainParbat Thanks.
Good info...which shoes would be recommended for hampta pass trek in month of juyl?..
Action Trekking will do just fine. But use them on a couple of weekend treks before the Hampta Pass trek. Or, if you know someone not using Forclaz, you could borrow them too.. cheers!
The video was really informative and solved most of my misconceptions. The only doubt I've is that I'm going for Hampta Pass and Chandrataal treks in coming week but still I'm not able to decide which shoe to buy thanks to my confined budget. Waterproof shoes with good grip are concern . Will appreciate if you reply👍
Action will be just fine for them.. just carry and use extra socks.. and you're good to go.. but they aren't waterproof at all.. else, Quechua or Hi-tec...
I am not a regular trekker. Planning to do VOF and Himalayan lakes. Do I need to get proper trekking shoes? You have any suggestion for light weight shoes for women?
Well they aren't difficult expeditions.. so proper trekking shoes isn't a compulsory requirement.. go for warmth and comfort.. even Nike/Adidas/Fila shoes with rubber sole would be good.. quechua are a great option for light weight.. carry lots of socks.
hey brother where to buy action trekking ? not availbe online
Is action trekking shoe good for Himalayan hikes especially places like spiti? Lahaul etc also for small treks like two three days one?? What are the other budget options other than Quechua forclaz 500
Action trekking are great for small himalayan treks... In the segment of 3k to 6k, nothing really beats the Forclaz 500
My group will b happy the way u praised the action trekker shoes😂
Hey,can we use this one for a snow trek?
In January
@@yashkikani9758 yep.. but small treks.. if it's an expedition, better go for completely waterproof shoes.. to avoid getting the cold.. for 3 to 5 day treks in Himalayas, these are just fine..
Are Lowa shoes available in India ?
Nice info👍
Boots which has vibram soles are the best for trekking and mountaineering. They don't come cheap.
No doubt 🤟 Vibram is a class apart!
Hello sir my budget is 2000 suggest me good trekking shoes for kedarnath trip
Idk maynnnn.... I love woodlands! My fav tbh(non sneaker footwear)....
Yep... they're super comfortable.. just not for trekking :)
Solomon kaha se kharidne milega genuine product ?? I want to know about Decathlon MH500 and Trek 100.
In a medium price range of 4k to 7k, we only have Decathlon right now. . So go for it.. if you have a higher budget, then Salomons are wonderful! But use them for cross country and Himalayan treks.. as their rubber do not give that great a grip on basalt wet rock.
Salomons you can get at adventure equipment shops.. or atleast they can help you by ordering it. I suggest do not go for online . As there might be fake ones.
I am currently using jungle shoes which are used by army and I am a little bit confused as I see other travellers wearing Decathlon shoes I have no problem in walking or tracking as I had use them in many tricks so should I go for a new one or I should buy like Costa CTR or action trekking shoes
For non snow treks, nothing beats action trekking.. but if you're fine in the jungle boots, why change? Quechua ideally should be used for low altitude Himalayan treks.. they don't really have good grip on wet basalt.. it's the comfort..
I am planning to trekk pin parvati pass (17.5K feet)
Which shoes you will recommend ?
Go for Quechua
Very nice dear good knowledge woodland review please
Please Suggest A Women Shoes For Kinnaur Kailash trek....I average do 5,6 treks in a year including high snow treks as well mosoon treks and dry regions also but till today's date,Shri Kinnaur Kailash will be my highest altitude till now,I am thinking about Wildcraft Women's Gabroo or Columbia shoes,plese suggest which would be best for me?????
I bought action trekking shoes after watching this video. Hope they as good as you claim to be. Will update here soon :D
They are 🤟
@@CaptainParbat Follow up
Review : So i bought two of them a pair each for me and my wife. I loved them and they grip like lizard grips to walls. Unfortunately my wife returned them as she got a shoe bite and felt uncomfortable after 1hr+ trek. I feel they should launch a newer more expensive version with soft cushion padding from inside. Hush puppies inside + action trekking shoe outside will be an unbeatable combination.
@@asdasdasdqwe123 that's so true! I am actually planning to get their technology and start manufacturing better comfort shoes.. Action is not seeing the market here unfortunately..
Nice
Why not woodland?
Hiii,nice video and good information.Can you please tell me which shoe is best for running and also travelling?
Thanks Sahisnu..
Well the best shoes for running and travelling (where trekking isn't involved) are Nike or Adidas.. hands down..
For a lower budget, the Bata Power or Puma shoes are good too..
What should I buy for multiday 20 day trek keeping in mind panchkedar treks...
The Salomon! If less budget then Quechua 500 are good.
are bata power shoes worth it for a Himalayan monsoon trek? (only for one trek). altitude:14000 feet
Bindaas..
Was heavy weight the main reason behind the rejection of Woodland Shoe or something else?? Please tell me if it is good for Trekking in Himalayas or not?
Absolutely not.. don't even think about them :)
Since sandakphu is more like a walk can I use my woodland shoes? I am going in January ND it's my first experience.
Are you descending at Gurdum or Phalut?
Maybe for Phalut you could use them.. but in general, woodlands suck.
Sir so nice and informative video... should I go for action shoes for sandakphu (12000 ft) trek in February ? Heard abt snow fall in that time.. Plz suggest ...
Absolutely.. But sandakphu is more of a walk.. so if you have any walking shoes of adidas or nike, then thay would be great too! Because, the grip of Action Trekking is not really required in the Sandakphu Trek..
Thank u sir for reply...I have Bata power should I use that ?
Why not Woodland?? I have them since I thought they looked rugged that they might hold up, Im going to Kedarkantha(Himalayas) So I opted this!
They don't have any grip.. use them for general purpose.. not for adventure at all.. they are very rugged no doubt, but useless for trekking.
Nice video... Please add link in description for action trekking shoes.
You can find them at www.gorillaadventures.in/foot-wear but they are mostly out of stock here and on other websites. But you can find them at many local shops throughout the country..
Which shoe is best for muddy terrains, wet rocks surface ?
Action trekking or CTR.. but they're not waterproof.
I got trekking shoes in 450 Rs only one name unistar jungle boots...and woodland is also good shoes.
bhai which are the best budget shoes for snow treks like kedarkantha, bramatal etc. if action trekking shoes or coaster ctr are best then will i go for it?
Under 15k feet and less than 4 days of walking in snow, the Action and CTR are absolutely fine..
@@CaptainParbat thanks man!😉💪
Bhai one more question which jacket will be good for kedarkantha and also for many similar treks??
Very nice review... I am planning Aamarnathji trek this year ( lot of snow is expected) can afford up to Rs 4k shoe , I am size UK 12 , kindly suggest which one
Quechua should be good..
Nice Vlog very useful
Planning to buy ctr shoes online.. only based on your review otherwise never heard of them.. can these shoes be used while playing cricket.. normal running shoes get torn at sides and toes..
Hi, no no don't play cricket in them.. they're pretty heavy and their shape is not for any running sport.. I too face that problem of torn shoes but that's due to the shape of my foot. It's very common. Ctr are for treks, trails and for factory workers. .
Bro, budget is not a concern for me. Main problem is that I slip everytime on mildly wet surfaces. So please suggest me a good traction shoe with ankle support, waterproof etc., !!!
Actually all shoes have their pros and cons.. with good grip, comes bad waterproofing.
The quechuas are a fair blend of both for now..
Also, don't go for ankle support unless you're going to do more of cross country trails.. because ankle support are beneficial for trail expeditions.. with more rock trekking, you need maneuverability..
Thanks for video
what about fitwell from manali ?
Solomon is the best jackwolfskin I will prefer
What is the problem with woodland
Captain have action stopped making trekking shoes ?
They are neither available at local shops in my city nor online . Can you confirm me please
Hey Rahul, they are available here in Pune, but even I couldn't find them online recently.. you can go for the CTR for now. They are almost same.
Hello sir this was really good information. I like to walk in city's as I love to take photos of different places. I use bata power shoes for all this. But I would like to upgrade so can you recommend any shoes for me
Nike/adidas walking shoes rock.. Nothing beats them in comfort
Action trekking shoes vs CTR which one do you recommend???? Long and short treks alike. I like them both.
Action gets an extra point for being light in weight...
@@CaptainParbat Will it matter much ???
Well yes, if you trek a lot..
@@CaptainParbat well i dont trek that much... I like the shoes very much... It won't be that heavy right???
Yep.. won't be heavy.. go for it.. and it will matter only for the 1st few treks.. then, your muscle memory kicks in and you won't even think about the weight.. so go for it..
I'm using Action Trekking shoes! 😊
From where did you buy? I am looking for it
Hi amazing Post. Keep Up the great Work
How can you use woodland shoe in thumbnail but talk about it for just 2 secs!? Please make an elaborate video about them rather than your opinions.
Well it's because people have a huge misconception that they are good for trekking.. especially when I had made that video..! Now lots of people know the truth though :)
Check your comment box.
I am a regular trekker in Sahyadri range. I had been using action trekking for several years until I found a better option, 'Gold star'.
More durable than action trekking (15+ treks, including monsoon treks, still hasn't torn, and I ain't kidding) better grip than action trekking, be it wet rocky patch or high gradient surface with scree, more comfortable than action trekking (at least for first 6-7 treks) and cheapest of them all (300₹).
Try for 3-4 different Treks in sahyadri for different seasons. I guarantee that you will fall in love with them and do entire video dedicated to these shoes.
If safety is your biggest concern during treks, switch to these shoes, there's no option with such a good grip (maybe, certain types of canvas shoes) even in little higher price range.
Only drawback is the authentic ones are really hard to find (fortunately, I know the place where they are available)
Authentic Gold Star? I really had a bad experience with them early in my career..
But I'd love to try them now that an experienced trekker is saying this.. :)
Thanks for this info mate ✌️
Where will I get them?
@@CaptainParbat I understand your sarcasm about authentic gold star. Actually the one I have been using is light weight with rubber sole. This one comes under different names like gold star, unistar, Border etc. There are other shoes named as Gold Star which are heavy and come with hard sole. This particular one I think is not authentic and not useful for treks.
Maybe man.. can you tell me where I'll get them? I'll sure give it a try..:)
@@CaptainParbat They are usually available with shops who sell cheap footwear. I usually buy them from shops located in Shirwane gaon, Navi Mumbai. I suggested few of my friends to buy these shoes from same place. They all had good experience while trekking.
@@CaptainParbat By the way, I liked the video. I will definitely try one of the recommended shoes here, for Himalayan trek.
How come the salomon shoe has a “made in India” tag? Is it authentic?
Hi Pranjal, Yes the shoes are authentic. Salomon is a subsidiary of Amer Sports which has recently started Indian Operations at Delhi with Mr. Ankur Srivastava as the Business Development Head. Till a few months back, Hindustan Army Store used to get the Salomon to India.
Action trekking shoes not available in my city, Surat, Gujarat. Dealers say it is discontinued by company. Is it possible to have this shoes ?

So, I’m recovering from a sports injury and am looking for the most comfortable hiking shoe. I’m an avid traveler. It will be nice if it doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket. Kindly suggest.
For a traveller + hiker, the waterproof model of Bata Power is great.. comfortable and good grip....
But if you travel a lot where walking (sight seeing) is involved, more than hiking, then pure walking shoes of Adidas or Nike are the best..
Captain Parbat Thanks. In this case I will do Adidas
Thanks
Got the CTR Coasters! Let's see how this goes! 😎
From where?? Pls brother
@@singhbabloo36 u will get it on Amazon
How's it holding up bro?
@@arv1ndgr Very well bro, so far so good 😎
woodland 👍👍👍
Can you please also review Fitwell india and Salewa shoes?
Yess, will do as soon as I use them 👍 give me a few days..
Hey! Can the Action Shoes be used for long Himalayan Treks and Basic Mountaineering Course?
Not recommended as they are not waterproof... 5 to 8 day treks it's fine.. but if your trek/event involves a lot of days with snow, then better use Quechua..
Coaster shoes r excellent
Captain Parbat I cannot find action trekking shoes in local shops neither I could find the shoes on their official website .....
What do do now ?
Have action stopped making trekking shoes?
It's made under Campus now..

Must put the link.. It will be helpful
Hello captain parbat, I was shocked to see your outrite rejection of woodland shoes. I cud not understand reason of ur rejection. I hav been using that same model since 4 years & they r holding up well. I did nepal tracking also in them
Grip isn't really important in small Himalayan treks.. it's mostly walking.. i too have used woodland a lot.. but their weight and the grip are too negative..
They are absolutely useless on basalt rock.. try the action trekking.. and see the way you can jump around like spiderman not worrying a bit about any slips...
Plz suggest me shoes for a mansoon trek in sahyadri , which can also be used in causal purposes. I'm a hardcore trekker. I was thinking about wildcraft water shoe !!
Wildcraft will be a big mistake!.
Buy Action Trekking.. though they aren't waterproof, they really give good grip in Sahyadri..
Action trekking not available online. It would be great if you could share link if you know about online purchase of this brand.thanks

Please review Quechua trek 100, trek 500 and trek 900 as well
Yes.. very soon.. 👍
I am going for winter himalayan trekking for 8 days.Does Star rider trekking shoes from Action are good for this purpose ?
Depends.. it's a pretty decent pair.. but not waterproof... So if you have more than 4 days of snow walking, better go for Quechua.. keeping the feet warm, is more important than grip on a Himalayan trek.
@@CaptainParbat Thanks for reply. I am going to Goechala trek in Dec last week. I don't think their will be heavy snow in these days. Does CTR or Action trekking (not star rider) shoe will do this job ?
Action will be fine.. but do a couple of treks nearby before..
Sir what about quechua mh100, how is it? I have a budget around 3500-4000.
Nothing Beats Quechua in that budget.. take the better model than mh100 though.. for better waterproofing.
