See the recommendations above! I'd also consider Aigle and Harkila. Find local retailers and try before you buy. Not difficult really

It was only the opinion of Fredline and Liphook, plus the injection of a little humour, you did not have to take it so personally.Gobio Gobio wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 12:32 am Where did you say they are only good for posing?
Maybe not as clear as posing but implied they were rubbish.
And what would the proper boots for this nob be please Liphook?
I am after something like a welly, stiffer soled with plenty of grip. Im not walking across damp grass, walking across muddy fields or woods in neoprene waders.
Wish I had never asked.
I have a vague recollection of going to a mill at Battlesbridge for some Skeetex boots back in the 70’s possibly early 80’s they looked nothing like the ones you have shown but they were comfortable and extremely warm - it’s great to see they are still going and looking so much better.Fredline wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 11:40 pmWhere did I use the word rubbish?Gobio Gobio wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 11:27 pmThere not only available in Chelsea, thats their flagship store. I just looked again, there sold in Hatfield, Wheathampstead, Clavering, Shefford, Saffron Walden, Hemel Hempstead, Dunmow.......
So are you saying there rubbish, only good for posing?
I wore Skeetex boots back in the 70/80's, and thats where I will be leaving them.

Skeetex boots 70/80's that is one thing you got right. Try these Skeetex 2020's.
