Very happy with Dovre Extremes, been in some horrible shit with them and they are very comfortable, stable and easy to clean. Best price I've seen is is at the link top right of the page at N.E.F. Meindl also seem to have a decent returns policy too if anything should go wrong. Worth looking at Lowas too, can't really comment too much on them, only just bought a correct sized pair for work but will be reporting back, would have bought more Meindls, but they don't seem to do a black boot similar to the Lowa, or at least one that is easily available.

Guest WILF Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The dovres extremes are an excellent boot and I would highly recommend them for nearly every thing EXCEPT digging, I dont think they will stand up to a lot of digging. I have the mouflons and the dovres and digging wise I would say the older models of mouflon would be better. If you do fancy the dovres, then I agree with SS............North East Fieldsports are doing a really good deal and the service is good as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mistwalker 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 My Dover are 3-4 yrs old now and the best pari of boots I ever owned. When I was in the forces I wore Danner, Matterhorn etc. Not a patch on these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think mine might be the Burmas Wilf.....? Can't remember which type they are now, i've had 'em so long (5 years +). As I said before, there are the 4 season boot, which can take crampons (not that anyone should need 'em!). If I was to fault 'em, they can be a bit heavy and rigid 'when one has to be on one's toes.....sharpish'!!! And a bit of a bugger to drive in. In comparison to the Dovres, they are much heavier in the uppers and rigid in the sole, seen a spade or two over them years and almost daily use over 'all' terrain and still going strong, to be honest the scrub up like new. My mate who does more than enough with a shovel has the Dovres and although he rates them highly says he should have bought the ones I have, much better for his game.
