aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 im not into big heavy hikers for hunting. if im stalking rabbits or pigeons in good weather i wear a pair of old worn trainers which means i can feel for twigs and step lightly. if the weather is really bad i will wear hikers.

Blue one 89 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have just got a pair of these new issue army boots and all i can say is, their fantastic.... I have been walking in them the last 2 days, over wet fields, frozen fileds ect ect and for miles on the road, keeping my dog fit, due to the frozen ground here and they are dogs bollix.... ... I am not a sales man, or selling on e.bay.. ..as i was a bit carefull my self, when Lee recommended them to me, but i could not be happier now..... Also, for a brand new army boot, they did not leave my feet covered in blisters ect.. Quote Link to post
Caesardog 1 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 A couple of years ago I decided to do a short trial for myself so bought a pair of Lowa's, Danner's Altbergs and was kindly given a pair of Matterhorn's. All were well made I think it really is a case of "what suits" I found the Lowa's a bit slippery on certain surfaces, the Danners were my daily choice..... Regards Quote Link to post
jonesbach 1 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 looking like a possible for my next pair of boots. currently wearing brasher gtx's and cant fault them tbh..never had wet feet in them and offer great support and comfort. with these coming in at over £30 cheaper..could take advantage!!!

villager 3 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I think muck boots are best fully waterproof go any where thermal boots.Nice and comfy. Quote Link to post
jarv5116 57 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 We get issued the pro boots in the army im not too keen on them. There to high up the leg and to heavy, They also get very hot, there our cold weather issue boots. they cause ur feet to get very hot and sweaty then get wet inside with sweat, Causing ur feet to go cold and because there gortex once there wet they stay wet and dont dry out. If im doing alot of walking I prefer altbergs, they are light comfortable and offer good ankle support.Also your feet dont sweat as much and they dry out quick when they get wet. If Im sitting about on hills most time with ferrets or on exersise In army for weeks. I prefer Lowa or meindls cause there hard boots that are warm and comfy but heavy when doing alot walking or running. If im running I wear pair of gay light wieght boots like magnums or something.
