Hey cowboy. I have just had the same experience. I bought some hi tec boots in August 2012 advertised as completely waterproof. The exact same boots i bought previously which lasted nearly a year. The glue started to come unstuck for the upper and sole on both boots so I rang hi tec and they said to send them back by free post and they will examine them. They agreed to replace them at no cost!!
They were £60.
So it might be worth trying to get them replaced if you have receipt.

Bought some gortex boots from army surplus store 2 yrs ago and they are just starting to go so I went down yesterday and bought another pair - £40
Can't go wrong :)
-
I find how ever much I spend on boots, they seem to last roughly the same length of time which is about 3 to 4 months.
I used to spend £100 - £150 per pair but now I buy cheap at £20 - £25.
-
my boots usaully last 1 half years as out in them most days and they take some abuse i think its because they are allways wet it rots the stitching , i remember one year we were working and my brother in law said his feet were wet there was no hole on in view its when he got home there was a big hole in the sole of the boot ;D ;D ;D
-
Hoggs Professional. Last 2/3 years on average
-

I bought these boots from toolstation. I wasnt expecting alot as they are so cheap but they lasted me 1 year and 2 months before water started coming in. They are really comfortable too. I am on my second pair now. Worth a go:

If they're a used military gortex boot, those are really high quality and very good.

Sports Direct sell other brands too; some not to bad; at least this is true when it comes to training shoes. I don't know about their boots.

berghaus gortex boots £100 a pair last 1 year. aways get good socks £10 a pair from blacks.

the lighter you are the longer they will last

I always used Peter Storm from Millets. I've got weird feet, result of traumatic contact with a slab of concrete from 20 feet up in 1978. I found these boots would mould to the shape of my feet after a couple of weeks, were the most comfortable I ever found and stayed waterproof until the day they fell apart (about 4 years). I always made sure I gave them a good coat of dubbin every few weeks, especially in the winter.
-
The problem I always have with my boots is that although the boots stay in great condition, the soles get worn away to nothing within six months.

Karrimor hiking boots TK Maxx for less than £50 usually last a year or so.
On my 5th pair. Comfortable. Funny-the soles wear out before the tops leak.
