Have had a pair of Brasher (think Berghaus bought them over) Hillmaster boots for years. Robust enough for hill walking and very lightweight. I prefer a leather upper to gore-tex etc. 

When I replace then I’ll look for another well made, lightweight boot with a decent sole (Vibram usually a safe bet). Try a few pairs on before you buy, and wear the socks you’ll be walking in to make sure they fit right. Should be plenty deals about once the shops are allowed to open up again.

 

The longest lasting boots ive ever had were Brasher, cant remember if they were hill master or ridge master-be great if they were still made.

Years ago (To many) I bought a pair of these boots of an Army surplus market stall in my home town guy told me they were German exarch hiking boots. These are not the actual boots they were used second hand he had piles of them £5 a pair. Best boots I every owned lasted for years and years rock hopping fishing, shooting and ferreting so on. Didn't know they were Meindl and even if I did it would have meant nothing to me. Recon it was 35 years ago may be more, only threw them out about 5 years ago when I went ass over tit in a wood and realises the soles had gone hard. The uppers were still good tatty but still sound, wish I never thrown them now may be could have got the resoled.

They didn't look like that mate, they were a bit scruffy but sound and after a good dubbin were good. After seeing this thread I thought I would try and find out what they were. I remember the trade mark of the mountains on the side but that is them for sure. I new f**k all about boots back then just bought something to rake around in.
