Hi all,
Although I am a Berghaus devotee,I'm getting tired of them getting trashed on the job as they dont look pretty when I'm on top a mountain somehwere 8)
Whats a good,waterproof,mid-range price boot (£40 -60)?
And none of them dickies or sruffs rubbish neither please
Regards

Roy

I don't know how you folks make stuff last so long - 2 year old boots still good with daily wear, what are you levetating through your day or something  ???

The Black Rock boots are very hard wearing. Before I found them I was getting through boots at a rate of knots. Expensive boots are no guarantee of long life.
