Boots

[arnieh]

Just purchased a new pair of leather hiking boots from Millets-on-line they are PS M Langdale in brown cost £60 Post and packing free, early days but they do seem very good value.

Recommendations are always good! I have arthritus in the ball joins of my feet - never been able to wear true girlie heels and pointed shoes in my life! I tend to wear walking shoes or live in my DocMartins or CAT boots as I find them reasonably comfortable for day to day wear - though one of the little children that I used to look after when working at a playgroup, did ask me why I wear "mens" shoes! I had some Karrimore walking shoes from Millets that were good but they have seen better days and I need to replace them, preferably with something water resistant and comfy. So any recommendations would be good - oh and I don't want to spend a fortune - thankies!

I've got army surplus boots too. My feet cried like babies when I first wore them, but they've toughened up now, and are very comfortable. Cost me about £35.

If you're not bothered about being the height of fashion, someone on another site posted this link to an Ebay seller selling Swedish Army surplus boots for only around £15 after postage.

They're old (marked 1963/64/65) but never worn and really are tough as old, erm boots I suppose!

Real old school leather so they'll need breaking in.

( I hope it's ok to post a link - I have no affiliation to the seller, It's just a damn good pair of boots for a great price.)

I'm looking to get a new pair of boots that need to be comfortable walking some distance in. Are british army surplus boots really a good alternative to a modern walking boot? I want robustness, durability and toughness, not fashion. Also They need to be as waterproof as possible.

Tried army boots once. Feet just never got used to them. Karrimor for me these days.

I've just bought myself my first pair of karrimor boots and I must say they are very solid, great for crushing zombie heads......I'd imagine

one tip if you buy the british army boot is get the insoles and liners too
