Lowa Hunter Extreme GTX

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Anyone got these boots?

 

I was initally after a decent wellie but i have decided that boots will suit me as better all round footware and after much research these seem my favourites.

 

Has anyone got them?

 

Are there better out there for the cash? Best ive found is £180 delivered.

 

I considered the Army Pro Goretex also but heard a few reviews that they can make the feet sweat badly and then the goretex lining takes ages to dry out thus leaving wet feet.

Any input appreciated.

ye get what ye pay for imo and thoses hunter lowas are well worth it...dry...no sweat...and very comfy,look after yer feet and theyll look after you

Cheers lads. They do sound like a top boot.

 

Any idea how long you could realistally expect these to last?

 

Worn daily, probably 2 hours walking in the morning mostly lane walking with a bit of mooching, then in season Lamping 3 times a week in obvious conditions, muddy, wet, snow etc.

 

Will you get a few seasons out of them?

 

Cheers

i have a pair, done one season in them so far, they are good but would say the military mountain ones are better, i had these be for, wore them to death but thats what i will get next

I wear the lowa combat gtx. These boots get hammered. All day every day in all weathers. If you look after them and clean them and dry slowly and pollish regular you will get life out of them. I usually get nearly two years before they start to look tired.

The goretex does make your feet sweat especially through the summer but they dry well and it doesent bother your feet much if you wear the right socks.

I have tried loads of boots including the ludicrously priced han wag which didnt last for me.

 

I cant comment on the boots you have mentioned but lowa are worth every penny. Just look after them.

Thanks alot for the input lads, very helpful.

 

Is there much difference between mountain combat and hunter?

 

Cheers
