Guest ARTEMIS Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) I use my family's cast-off hiking boots until they wear out - or buy any old hiking boot thing from www.mandmdirect.com sometimes they have the basic hunter wellies - it's a good place to get yer kids trainers too! Hi-tech waterproof hiking boots are good for the price (usually around £30) - really! I walk a lot (I think!) - over 35 miles per week between mon and fri, half of that with my 3y old on my back!

Guest ARTEMIS Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm sure mine are the OLD hunters - got them from a closing down sale about 6 or 7 years ago - and they're kids size too - so only cost me about £20 (they're the basic ones though).....for basic wellies they've been hard-wearing and a good fit (not too baggy on the width) as wellies go......

jasper65 6 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I have always used Hunters apart from one pair of boots from John Norris which lasted me about 3 mths, my last pair of Hunters after about 3 years gave way on the front sole! and cracked straight across the tread so this time I fancy somthing different... The Mucker Tay boots are in my price and look like a good hard wearing boot which I'll probably go for next time, anyone else on the list use them and how do they rate them??
