foresterj 1,096 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Haix or Altberg army boots both cracking brands and well within budget mate.I just cant decide which. Quote Link to post
foresterj 1,096 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 That was me first thought Koda, but apparently the military Altbergs are made in Spain? Whereas the Haix are produced af the Haix factory, both look top class gear but I canit get a review on the 2nd ones Quote Link to post
Huan72 687 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Blackhawk black ops boots, fantastic and in budget, about £130. Read the reviews before purchasing and there were comments like, went moose hunting, walking for 5 hours in minus 20. So I was pretty sure they were good enough for little old me Really pleased with them, time will tell and after I've had them a bit longer, i'll post a review but so far, so good, really cant fault them and great sole (vibram) but different design to most that I have seen and way gripper on tree roots etc Quote Link to post
the scudd 82 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 where did you get them, I,m after a new pair after my irish setter started letting in big time after less than a year Quote Link to post
Huan72 687 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I got them from Ukmc in Portsmouth, they are a Blackhawk stockist Good customer service, if you google it, they will come straight up. Quote Link to post
Hector Skye 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hello. I recently bought a pair of Altberg Tethera boots. They were from an outdoor company online and cost £161.95. I think normally they are about £180. I initially bought a 10 wide but found that I needed to go up a half size and went for the extra wide option. They are extremely comfortable and will do me very well I think. Perfect with gaiters. They are not as high leg as the altberg gamekeeper, for example, but they still provide more than adequate ankle support. Best wishes, Hector Quote Link to post

Terrier Sam 297 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Note to everyone, steer well clear of aigle stuff. Bought my first pair, they weren't waterproof and fell apart in about 9 months. Got I n touch with them and had the second pair for about 4 months and they started to seep water too. After a load of bull. excuses, they basically said that they don't warranty boots that are a gesture of good will. Couldn't be less helpful. Just a warning! Quote Link to post
Dan Newcombe 58 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Have a look on Ebay at the mountaineering stuff, Scarpa, Salomon, La Sportiva etc. I have a couple of paris of Salomon Super Mountain, got them for £40 each and they seem good. Very stiff in the soles, good for digging. Quote Link to post
