BIG TOM 835 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Right lads now I know what the boots are gonna be recommended altberg lowa etc but instead if going to buy a pair of each to find they are no good I thought id ask your opinions Now these boots are going to be worn 7 days a week 12 hours a day and used for farm work every day so need to be water proof comfy and take some real shit as well as cow shit lol Deffo no wellies as they just do my head in And also used for ferreting digging lamping etc So I know I'm asking a lot off a boot but what's the best Money doesn't matter but don't want to pay hundreds for something that will fall a part in a month Cheers lads Tom Quote Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Most boots that live in shit will die soon. That is unless you clean/treat them often. On our small holding we have pigs, sheep, horses, chickens and geese. From September till March, leather boots will not take the stick you mention without almost regular drying and treating. So. Id bite the bullet and wear wellies for yard work and then save boots for field work. Sorry it's not the feedback you were looking for, but experience tells me that in the wetter months, at least, that the way to go 1 Quote Link to post

It's also better for your feet if you change boots half way through the day. Trust me I have tried it all, hence Trenchfoot ;0) 1 Quote Link to post
