Reviewed by Chris - 28th Oct, 2020 Good for a year I've had these boots for 11 months. For the majority of that time they have been great. Extremely comfortable, warm and they looked great. Now 11 months on they leak, they are starting to split on the bottom and the colour is fading. I think this is almost to be expected as in them I have climbed scafell pike, the old man of coniston, black combe, helvellyn, ben nevis, pen y fan amongst many others. I have also done alot of long distance walks with these too so they have been well used
Reviewed by Martin Matthews - 4th Nov, 2019 Great boot but one year waterproofing These are very comfortable reassuringly stable boots with good grip, but like any GoreTex fabric boot, the waterproof membrane breaks down after a year. Still great for dryer walks for a few years more. A well waxed leather boot (GoreTex not needed) will always last longer.
Reviewed by G.Cataldi - 3rd Nov, 2019 Good boot but colour problems Had these 12 months now and back on the site looking for a new pair as they have a leak. With Autumn here the grass is wet all day and constant dragging through it allows the water to wick in. Now my major problem with these was they turned from black to a light green as soon as they got wet. The black boot is very attractive but that lasted one week and they went green. With nikiwax they got worse and now are a shade of grass when dry. Having said that they are remarkably comfortable out of the box and still are after a thousand miles and climbing Fan y big & Kinder Scout just. Good grip too!
