you could get them funny 'over shoes' they are blue and have elasticated bits at the top and go over your normal shoes
screwfix have them, cant remember what to search for online though. they look stupid, and i wouldnt think they are safe - but i guess they must be or they wouldnt be sold by scrwefix.

Funny question that because I had the same trouble with admittedly cheap waterproof boots. I've just been out and bought another pair the same so one lot have time to dry out. Always my left foot that gets the wettest for some reason. :)

If you hold the bottom part of the pole with your right hand your probobly right handed Dave,therefore you put your left foot forward when your poleing.

you get what you pay for & with working any weathers you minght aswell get the best to start with whats the point in getting cheap boots/shoes that are supposed to be water proof . its the same with waterproof clothes you by the cheap ones and you end up as wet as you would without them as they make you sweat like made . i found golfing water proofs to be the best .

I bought a pair of walking boots from Aldi £17, they are waterproof and breathable.
They are also very comfortable and every bit as good as my last pair of expensive walking boots. They are made from that Nubuck stuff and keep themselves clean.
I don't koow how Aldi do it. Dai

is the cheapest i have found other than ebay which you have to becareful because the copies are very good, i know because i bought some and had the row of sending them back!

someone on here once said and its so true....make sure you have a good bed and a good pair of boots, because if you are not in one you'll be in the other!!
