Fed up with every brand I’ve ever tried always leaking, I’m going to give these a go. 🤷‍♂️

Keep us updated I used muck boots always looking to improve winter  footwear.

Last year I bought a pair of muck boots  they are the best I have used so far  but a little slippery on some surfaces and not the best for driving in.

Just buy those shoes I said you won’t get wet feet anymore I’ve had all the North Face and Berghaus shoes and they ain’t a patch on those they just fall apart,last ages no splitting or wet feet.

They look like they are made of plastic you will probably sweat as much as you got wet with the others .

Well, it’s either them or wellies!
Took a look in Mole Valley Farmers yesterday. Some wellies were over £150! No wonder farmers have no money 😮

Last two winters I've been wearing Barbour rubber Chelsea  boots,(worth a look) there 100% waterproof I think they also look ok,only downside feet get a bit cold where tempature is low,so they need to be big enough so you can wear a pair of thick socks

I was actually just thinking about this today.

Ever since I started window cleaning even the most expensive boots would never last a year.

It’s just dauned on me that these Salomon hiking boots are about 18 months old and going strong.

Warm, dry and very comfortable.

Think I’ll stick with these for the next pair too.

Caterpillar waterproof boots in winter and leather trainers in summer.

The Caterpillar boots are great.proper boots with composite toe caps but will be too heavy for some
price higher/work harder!

All the North Face Salmon berghaus are not the same these days 10-15 years ago they lasted a bit longer but even then not great,they are not supposed to be in constantly wet the above shoes although they say Gortex if you walk in wet grass daily  they’ll all make you’re feet wet in time.
That webbing they put on the above makes lol that’s gonna last oh yeah.

You chaps are spending far too much on footwear.
The best solution are short wellies( easy to get on and off) with sealskin waterproof socks.
You will say wellies make your feet sweat ( yes) but the sealskin socks wick the sweat away from your feet so feet stay dry and warm.
I have tried expensive footwear, all the big makes this beats them all.

 Bought a pair of work boots today from Go Outdoors. £30. If they last 6 months, which they will, you can’t go wrong.

I spent years buying cheap boots like that and always had wet cold feet. If you bought a quality pair you wouldn’t want to go back to the cheap ones trust me. They’re worth every penny imo

Ive always got at least 6 months out of a pair of work boots before they start to leak.

Been doing it for years.

No way I'm wearing wellies for window cleaning!😄...I'm not a farmer!🤣

Wellies are truly awful!make your feet stink and are uncomfortable.much better with a decent pair of work boots in winter IMO
price higher/work harder!
