looking at investing in a good quality footwear, which will give me comfort and keep my feet dry, ive tried many types off supposedly waterproof boot , but as the day goes on water will penetrate and start wetting my feet , which i find uncomfortable to work in
any help would be appreciated

I've found you get what you pay for. I tried all the cheap 'waterproof' boots and a pair of guaranteed waterproof Hi-tec ones, none of them got past two months. Wearing a pair of Brashers up to this hot weather I think I paid around £120 in a sale. They've been going good for a fair time now.

thanks for reply
what type of brashers boot are there
-
I wear DeWalt steel toe cap boots and have never had a problem with water getting through them.
I paid about £30 for them from Makro and have been wearing them for over 2 years now

thanks for your reply
looking for a light weight type of boot
-
I bought some boots of strauss once they wwighed more than my ladders, no thanks, trainers for me, unless its on site
-
I've tried lots of footwear and have now found the ultimate!!!
For winter I got a pair of british army goretex boots from Ebay. brand new for £36 delivered. So comfortable, dry and warm!!
For summer I got a pair of Hitec multiterra aero. http://www.hi-tec.com/in/40758-product-multiterra_aero-all.html.
These are designed for wearing in water (rivers, sea etc) so they dry quickly unlike regular trainers. I got them in Swindon outlet centre for about £25 last year and still going strong. Also great in this hot weather as you can run your customers garden top over them to cool your feet down

I've tried to find shoe covers. B&Q being the most obvious place, but no they don't sell them.
Where do you get them from?
