Doc Martins all the way.

Completely waterproof, comfortable to wear all day, warm in the winter and last AGES.

As tough as ...old boots?  You know what I mean!

I've tried a few different boots, always end up going back to DMs

ive been using Timberland boots - only because i have had them about 3 years already and so dont mind using them for work. They are too expensive for work if buying new but just wanted to mention them as they are the most comfortable boots i have ever owned, pretty damn waterproof as well.

I'VE BOUGHT 2 PAIRS OF RIGGER BOOTS RECENTLY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO

CALLED SMAMP MASTER BY BLACK ROCK

MADE OF BLACK PVC UPPER. YELLOW PVC SOLE, STEEL TOE CAP AND FIR LINNED

BOUGHT MINE FROM A TOOL SHOP IN RAINHAM ESSEX

THINK SUPPLIER IS RODO LTD LUMB LANE MANCHESTER.

LOOK ON AMAZON OR E BAY OR RING RODO DIRECT.

VERY NICE BOOTS. BOUGHT FOR WINTER MONTHS. I PAID 29 PER PAIR BUT WOULD HAVE PAID MORE IF I HAD KNOWN HOW COMFORTABLE THEY WERE.
