Francie 6,368 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I got Altbergs they keep my feet dry but they ain't the most comfortable tbh, the heels have no give in them.I read something about them specialising in a foot type with a more narrow heal and wider front foot.I know the defenders I've got come in different widths, the heels in mine are like plastic heels so have no give. They're great boots just ain't the best if stomping uphill a lot, im gonna try Lowa next. Arn't these similar to lowa but cheaper. See these all the time on ebay. Extreme Cold Weather Booots http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ECW-EXTREME-COLD-WET-WEATHER-GORE-TEX-BOOTS-Size-14-Large-British-Army-NEW-/162164900334?hash=item25c1c801ee:g:nwAAAOSwHoFXqz~n They look handy, anyone got these?

I've not seen those, they might be good boots, but you can get new defenders for the same money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIGLURKS 874 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Mate if you have a go outdoors near you just go in there, it's know good making your mind up before hand as they have some monster discounts on certain brands, I bought a pair of walking boots last year and they were £150 everywhere else, but 50 percent off in go outdoors so cost £75 never heard of the make before, but I have had them for a season and given them some terrible abuse they are still water proof and comfy and look like they will last at least one more year if not three or four they are made by scarpa, my last pair were north face and they were also half price, so just pop in and see what deals are onscarpa make excellent boots it's what a lot of mountain walking and climbing folk where my mates got a pair of the mantra gtx and swears bye them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arcticgun 4,548 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Class boots scapra still got a pair think they around ten year old now soles are unreal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,256 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 They are nice boots I bought them because I smashed my anckle quite badly, bones, ligaments and tendons, so I needed some good anckle support but also a bit of flex as my foot is quite a bit bigger than the other one even after nine months, so leather ones were a no go, plus at 50 percent off bargain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,256 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I love my altberg defenders. Comfiest boots I've had... if you spend a lot of time stood in streams , taking photos of your feet, I recon wellies would be more for you and cheaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,861 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) going to give these a try for my next pair http://www.altberg.co.uk/product/moorland-extreme-boot/ They look very nice! The leather grease advertised on the same page is similar to the stuff I use on my Lundhags...I can recommend them too, though mine are the one piece leather boot (was called the Scout but now the Forest) which doesn't have a waterproof liner and relies on the grease. I've also got a pair of Professionals but not worn those in anger yet as they're strictly for foul weather as they have a padded lining.
