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.

I can't believe it when lads spend £250 on boots then don't look after them and wonder why they drop to bits , it madness!

I think its the most common factor in most said 'boot failure'

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

Good foot plates on the roundmouth and the boots should be fine.

I'd personally avoid Le Chameau. Great for wellies crap for boots. I have Meindl's at the minute and have no qualms about them.

Try explaining that to the boss when you got 15and half couple of sharp hounds above you....sorry boss I can't break my boots ? on a serious note, my boots are f*cked from being a knob with a shovel. Meindls lasted 3 months, Andrews bartoro high welt lasted a month..that's £530 worth of boots there i could cry!

Really don't understand why anyone would pay £200 for a pair of boots. I'm not tight but just don't see point when they going to get abused, there for walking only, not digging. I got them cold weather boots off net from some army surplus site £35 delivered. Ive had them on for 2 seasons digging. 9-10 hrs Monday to Friday working construction, at least an hours walking everyday mon-fri and shit loads of miles at weekends. Clean and polished every Saturday. They are still going strong and never let any water in
