Do you buy them new, or second hand, if second hand what is the quality like. Have to say I like the idea of them being already "broken in" ;D

I bought British army Gore tex boots from e-bay a few years. absolutely fantastic. They were brand new and only £35 delivered via e-bay. Best boots I ever bought. As i said they were brand new and were comfortable from day 1, They didn't need breaking in at all.

Post by: Neil Gornall on October 19, 2012, 07:24:57 am: I went against my own advice this week, I have always said buy the best boots you can afford and they will look after you.
This week however I had a new commercial job planned and my boots were falling apart so went to our local outlet and picked up a pair from mountain warehouse.
At £34 I figured they were a bargain. How wrong was I.
Buy the end of the day my feet were soaked, not from the outside but inside. Jeez my feet have never been so hot, so much for "our own brand of gore-tex"
I will be ordering some Berghaus ones asap.

These were my favourites for years, really comfy and light. last couple of pairs didn't last that long so I've paid double for Brashers.

I like them because they are comfortable, warm, waterproof, have a steel toecap and, most importantly, because they have a steel midsole. After an incident when a nail in a plank in someone's back garden pierced my trainer and touched but didn't break my skin, they are the only ones for me. Two years old and no sign of wear on them at all.

Those are some serious boots and a serious price to go with em. Although they will come in handy when the Stasi/SPG take over the country and we become a police state ;D

These are the ones that I've been using for the last 2-3 years. I get roughly 18 months before there worn out.

You can get them for about £155 if you shop about. Quality boots, well worth the money and best of all TAX DEDUCTABLE.

Take care in them, they will kill you. No grip on most surfaces but grass.
