Post by: Pj on November 21, 2006, 08:33:24 pm: I bought a pair of SCARPA hiking boots 5 years ago for £120 :o :o :o
That is £24 a year! Very cheap for excellent quality.
I now need a new pair of boots, although these will get me through this winter, just!
Totally waterproof to the ankles, warm room for thick socks and toes nicely spread.
Best boots I ever bought! Probably more than £120 now. The tread has worn low(really good grip + soft impact), but still completely waterproof. I love them.
Don't know if I can justify £150 this winter, but I might!

Check out the name SCARPA.

Remember: Buy cheap......buy twice....

Post by: rosskesava on November 21, 2006, 08:46:34 pm: I wear any decent hiking boots provided all the uppers are made from gortex. I usually pay £50 - £70.

There's nothing worse than having wet feet on a freezing cold day.
