not sure how they are though.

 

i was after a shirt and pants

the extreme cold weather boots are lowa and are excellent

 

A lot of my mates bought, these they aren't made by Lowa and the eyelets all pulled out after a few weeks of use.

These ones http://www.altberg.co.uk/product/moorland-extreme-boot/ lovely and comfortable, but leaked. I also tried the Black islander Scratchless boots and they leaked too. Both these boots have the Simpatex lining instead of the Goretex.

Yes they look like Lowas but aren't made by them. My mate used to work in the stores and get them all the time. I know about half a dozen lads had them and the eyelets pulled out of the leather. Glad yours were ok.

I have the leather gamekeeper boot an never once in 6 seasons have they leaked mate, shame that

 

You were asking about whether those stark extremes were any good last year. Now you know! LOL

 

The leather gamekeepers are spot on.

Nah they'll chafe , they're size 14 and didn't really bend and I couldn't get em tight enough around the forefoot. Goes against all advice really , try them on and get a pair that fit good out the box, but not really practical in that size. 

Should have got size 10 and hacksawed  the toebox off

I’m trying a pair of Grisport Ranger boots at the moment due to fecking up with size when ordering a pair of Meindl Burma. So far so good. Quite a soft boot but good fit and good to go out of the box. Just done three hard days out with hounds on the fells and boots are fine. Been through some wet boggy places and no wet feet. Lots of room in them and good support

I really rate my Lundhags and they have the added benefit of no lining to go wrong which means they're more breathable. You get your waterproofing from the treatment you add to them and you vary the heating by varying your thickness of second sock (with a thin woolen sock next to your foot).

 

Ultimately though the old adage is true...the best boot is one that fits!

After reading all the positive comments on here (as well as many others online) I decided to try a pair of Altbergs. On holiday in Devon in May I tried on several models but none of them felt right unfortunately. I gather they make make them to order which would improve the fit but I'm still happy to stick with my Lundhags. On my second pair now after my first pair lasted about seven or eight years. I hasten to add that's the sole not the top of the boot which is still as comfy as ever. Unfortunately, the price of sending them to Sweden to be resoled properly was too restrictive so I decided to get just get a new pair. I hasten to add that I do have particularly wide hobbit feet.
