rob284 1,682 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I wouldn't have a pair of fell boots given me, total shite, things have moved forward matethey ain't great for mooching about I agree, but they're top for on the shovel. Can walk for miles in them and don't find them uncomfortable. Like every boot, they're waterproof until your shin deep in water. 1 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm gonna give them Irish Setter Elk Trackers a go. They look sound enough. I also think them Brandecosse look the bollocks too but they aint cheap. Quote Link to post
Jekyll 329 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Had alt-berg gamekeeper couple seasons now and rate them Quote Link to post

I also think them Brandecosse look the bollocks too but they aint cheap. Them brandecosse will leak like a seive sympatex is terrible lining I've never had a problem with sympatex. works well enough in the Altbergs. Its more to how its integrated into the boot rather than the lining itself Edited July 26, 2016 by trenchfoot Quote Link to post

bull mcabe 595 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I've had 3 good seasons out of a pair of meindl dovre extreme gtx. Can't fault them really.Every pair of leather boots need constant treatment to keep them supple and stop them cracking. I'll probably pick up another pair during the season. 4 Quote Link to post
