B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Goodstuff, about time the lads got a bit of quality Thats the way we feel mate... sick of the shiite cardboard g10's... Lads were using the jungles for tabs...wet/cold weather etc.... because the g10's are so crap... Which is shocking... them jungles have NO padding... and a mesh side....so let water in.... About time they got some decent footwear for uk training... what sort of money if you don,t mind me asking Looking at around the 150 mark... Theres shiitloads cheapish on ebay. Quote Link to post
Terrier Sam 297 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Note to everyone, steer well clear of aigle stuff. Bought my first pair, they weren't waterproof and fell apart in about 9 months. Got I n touch with them and had the second pair for about 4 months and they started to seep water too. After a load of bull. excuses, they basically said that they don't warranty boots that are a gesture of good will. Couldn't be less helpful. Just a warninf! Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I had a pair of the chameau mouflon plus . Great comfy boots,but the sole came away after a season Maybe due to the way I took them off but I would spend my money else where in future Edited March 2, 2014 by roybo Quote Link to post

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Bought a pair of Harkila 2 years ago. Very comfy and good support. However they leaked after 12 months of moderate use. Bought a pair of Haix Tibet before Xmas. Worn them through the entire wet winter. 7 days a week for at least 6 hours a day. On wet boggy land to rough fell and forestry. Needed little breaking in and no hot spots. Very supportive and not let any any water in. Very breathable and even in warmer weather no sweaty feet. Cleaned once a week and dried daily. Early days but look very promising. Kept my out of wellies for all but the shortest of trips Edited March 7, 2014 by trenchfoot Quote Link to post
