I've been using the trusty Berghaus boots for the last 18 months or so-Daz's recommendation. £130(I think) we'll spent.
Good call, thanks Daz.
Anyway.
I got soggy feet yesterday, first time.
Dried them out, think they'd be fine today.
Soggy feet by 9am.

So, popped along to sports direct tonight.
Spotted a pair of Gelert(not a bad brand) waterproof boots for £60.
Not too dissimilar to the Berghaus ones tbh.
A bargain I thought at £60.

Anyway-went to pay and they scanned at £32.99!
On the box was the 'reduced' sticker, so it wasn't a cock up on pricing.
Checked on the way out-definitely says £60 on the shelf.

Just thought I'd post and let you know they're out there if you want a cheap decent pair of boots lads.
They're cheaper than those massive Karrimor fluffy snow boot things!

Waterproof boots etc do need looking after and re-proofing other wise they will leak .

Bought them at the start of last winter and still totally waterproof and going strong.

My Aldi boots £12.99 have been fine so far,been fishing in them and worked
in the wet, material uppers are not supportive enough to walk any distance
but a bargain for work.

Thats because you use tap-water.

I wear these bought erm back in the 1980's and they still fit !!!
Money well spent, worn them every year
Cost me £15 and that was 15 of those green pound notes lol !!!!

Am I right in thinking Gelert have been bought by Mike Ashley? If so it may be their quality goes the same way as Karrimor and everything else he touches

There might be some truth in that, Gelert used to be top notch, I looked at some the other week & they were on par with Karrimor rubbish!!

Just checked with our lad who works p/t for sports direct - Gelert are owned by Sports Direct, but the employees get a bonus with each pair of karrimor shoes/boots sold. And so another make is removed from my shopping list
