got through 2 pairs in last 8 months they were only £20 a pair and seem good at the time but were crap,want some decent grip and that could last a year at least,any links would be sound

[Lee GLS]

i just got some merrell walking trainers from field and trek they were £35, should have been £70

[bobby p]

on ladders i have found MERCURY trainers to have great grip. They wear out quickly but theres no difference to buying a long lasting pure Argentinian leather shoe at £100 or ten pairs of MERCURIES ,Which are £10 a pair .

I have just been on a `find some good boots mission`,was in my local tkmax every day,shoe shops,screwfix website etc.
 Settled on ebay(bit of a risk without trying em on) DeWalt Challenger 2,goretex,steel toe caps,steel mid-solethey are very comfortable with a cushioned insole,steel toe caps come in handy in all sorts of ways,£57.97 plus £6.00 delivery,i wanted to find a good boot cheaper but gave up,anyway i felt i had treated myself.

just bought some boots from screwfix. dickies is the make and i think they were about £25

called something like storm ......

steel toe and very well padded, with a good non slip tred ....

worth a look.

i normally just get this sort of price band ones and just get two pairs a year...

ive just bought some bergaus explorer trail light goretex boots(£70)hopefully theyll keep my feet dry and warm and last a couple of years.

im usually looking for some cheap boots and waterproof jackets but now i think its false economy as they dont last and dont keep you dry!!now im earning more i decided to get some decent gear!!

bought a bergaus goretex jacket as well(£115!).it better keep me dry now ive splashed out!! :

No disrespect here Paulpp but I've given up on Karrimor. They've gone down hill big time, I was told they were bought out by a Korean company or something. Some thing's happened as their stuff used to be top notch, last pair of Karrimors lasted me 2 months & were shot!

Tool Station boots are highly recommended. Very good value. Then go on ebay and buy some MIL-COM army socks for about £3 a pair. Ready for winter.

I agree. It can be difficult buying online though. Do you have a link to an ideal winter boot Christies?

[vivaro 013]

only way out this problem, spend over 100 pound on a pair of gore tex brasher, i went through the same problem spending 20 to 40 pound on supposedly water proof boots  only ending with wet feet by the end of the day which is not good , bought the above boot problem solved first pair lasted 16 months now on 2nd pair

For winter work look no further than Muck Boot co. Used them last winter and we all know what that was like. One pair of socks, no wet or cold feet. Cost me about £42 if I recall. Just got them out again now things are wet. Too hot for all round use. http://www.muckbootcompany.com/men/farm-ranch-work/Pages/Jobber.aspx

[Feen]

That last bit should read "all year round use". Slow fingers !
