Hi all, i currently have a pair of lechameou mouflon +, ive had them for around a year theyre cracking and by the looks of things im going to need a new pair, the next pair i get i want something which will last a bit longer, ive looked at meindl and black islander, what do you lads think? and any advice on how to make the boots last longer, theyre used on a day to day basis, thanks all!

Lowa mountain are good, meindl makula are like indstructable, just the uppers are that tough the sole wears well before the top, but can be replacd, but if you want for digging as well, try these.

I use haix mountain trekker (chainsaw ones though) for work every day, three year-old now bit rough but still waterproof and solid, come with a two year guarantee. Helluva pair of boots imo.atb.

i have Haix MOntana and K2

Montana good in every way except the grip is dreadful on wet grass,

K2 much better, but a short boot so you need good gaiters

I agree the sole design isnt the best but I can stand it against build quality and price compared to similar boots.think they are a underrated boot and a 2year guarantee is fantastic, not that I've needed it.
