Hey guys need a new pair of boots bought 2 pairs in last 2 years from sports direct (karimoor) and they have both been a bit naff. Can anyone recommend a good pair and where to get then at a good price

Cheers

Had same issue. Never seen to last very long in our industry. Particularly the right boot or depending which side you hold your pole. A lot of strain are placed on them.

I bought Catapillar (cat) boots. After three years still going strong.

Wear caterpillar boots, that's what posties wear as their uniform and they do a lot of walking in all weathers day in day out

Scarpo mid weight walking boots 5 years old now worn every day from October to April, i re wax them every month still got few years  left hopefully

Site boots from Screwfix cheap and really good mine are still going strong after 2 years.

Either cheapo Aldi/Lidle jobbies and chuck after a year or two; karrimors and chuck after a year or two or pay three times as much and get three times as long.

Doesn't make a lot of difference to me.

I've got the old British army gortex boot, but these are the updated versions:

They'll need some breaking in, but will be good for 3 or 4 years if you put some polish on them regularly.

I'll get some before the winter.

i dont want boots that need "breaking in".i want boots that are comfortable from the off or im gonna suffer with blisters.my feet are terrible for this.my skin is like tissue paper in some areas for some reason.

I have used berghaus, brasher, meindl and loads more. Im heavy on ball of my foot do wear soles quick.

Best boots i ever had were from decathlon. Quecha bionassay. Paid 110 which was 70 quid cheaper than meindl boots. Decathlon dont stock them anymore either. Had 2 pairs of them.
