Really don't understand why anyone would pay £200 for a pair of boots. I'm not tight but just don't see point when they going to get abused, there for walking only, not digging. I got them cold weather boots off net from some army surplus site £35 delivered. Ive had them on for 2 seasons digging. 9-10 hrs Monday to Friday working construction, at least an hours walking everyday mon-fri and shit loads of miles at weekends. Clean and polished every Saturday. They are still going strong and never let any water in
