Title: Waterproof work boots
Post by: iround on October 13, 2011, 06:54:58 pm: Need some new waterproof work boots for winter. Have tried dewalt goretex boots but only last 6mths, tried some cheaper ones with waterproof membrane but have only lasted about 3months.
Any suggetions on a waterproof boot that will last? Don't
Mind spending ambit more if they are going to last

Thanks Jonathan

Post by: dmlservices on October 13, 2011, 07:48:48 pm: just bought some berghaus , not as good as my last pair of brashers which lasted over 3 years, doubt the berghaus will last a winter,
my best pair of water proof boots are my meindl burma pro , very water proof , i use them on my walking trips, to good for window cleaning though.

The pair I have now I have had over a year and as well as using them for window cleaning I walk the dogs in them every day. I think they should see the coming winter out. They were £29

I have started wearing gaiters with my boots and find they help keep my feet and the bottoms of my trousers dry.

Yes I get the wet trouser leg thing aswell.
Usually don't notice it much in the warmer months but as it is colder now they still stay damp.
I will be digging out my waterproof trousers soon.
As for footwear im wearing Caterpillar boots. Seem ok, no wet feet.
