Goodness me..looks like you got the better option although I suspect your boots are the least of your concerns these days.MGs wrote:These are what I was issued when I joined. I wouldn't recommend them for anything. I had mine until the day I left (re-soled and re-heeled a couple of times)Leigh wrote:

Re: Comfortable, waterproof, warm, walking / fishing boots.
These are worth a good look, have served me well for nearly 2 years of hunting hounds on foot twice a week in the winter, walked the Norfolk coastal path, sand/shingle etc and fishing where I dont expect to stand in the water. Karrimor Cheviot , made in Italy with a vibran sole, looked online today and £65 from sports direct and £60 inc post from Amazon, I'm 9.5 size but bought 10, can wear thick socks, very comfortable, with no breaking in,I use nikiwax, keeps feet warm and dry .Tight lines Dave
Re: Comfortable, waterproof, warm, walking / fishing boots.
Brashers have been taken over. I've used them for twelve years. As long as you got the right size they needed no breaking in. You could pop them on for a couple of hours and not a blister! I always take a backup footwear but never needed. It was quite a surprise back then when some hours of pain was standard for new walking boots. No doubt they are all instant comfort now. Good thing in my honest opinion...
