I go barefoot, it's no good testing the dogs if you're not pushing yourself too

Well if wellies are good enough for thousands of Irish ground workers they are good enough for me. Can't stand mud in me boots and with waxed leggings over the top ive never had any yet

I bought the meindl burma boots and they didn't last long, they soon fell to pieces. I Recently bought a pair of hanwag alaska and they're top quality. But you cant beat the fell boot Imo.

No matter which boots you pick, my advice would be to clean and polish them often. It takes 10 minutes and really does make a difference to the life span of your boots.

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

Fell boots are leather so they're not water proof, so what.

If I didn't wear mine for a couple of weeks I'd leave them submerged in a barrel of water over night to soften them and put them on the next morning to go hunting.

We're not made of sugar.

 

I'd love to see some one treating leather boots using deer antler. I've only ever heard of it, never seen it.

As has been said good cleaning and dubbing or polish adds years to any boots.

Biggest problem with boots for digging is the soles coming of. I've had the following and this was there lifespan

Le chameu = 1 season

Harkilla = 1.5 seasons

Jack Pyke = 1 season

Meindel = 1.5 seasons

Have Dunlop boots now and I think they will out live any lace up boot.

I know we aren't made of sugar I just can't stand wet feet I don't care if I'm piss wet through as long as me feet are dry and those half sprung Sheppards boots just ain't for me
