Waterproof work boots
« on: October 13, 2011, 06:54:58 pm »
Need some new waterproof work boots for winter. Have tried dewalt goretex boots but only last 6mths, tried some cheaper ones with waterproof membrane but have only lasted about 3months.
Any suggetions on a waterproof boot that will last? Don't
Mind spending ambit more if they are going to last

Thanks Jonathan

I'm a North face fan, but prefer Berghaus.... There usually around £80, but your feet take a pounding daily!

just bought some berghaus , not as good as my last pair of brashers which lasted over 3 years, doubt the berghaus will last a winter,
 my best pair of water proof boots are my meindl burma pro , very water proof , i use them on my walking trips, to good for window cleaning though.

Second hand gortex army boots from local army surplus (GI Joes, think he has shop on E-bay as well) - had them over a year now and keep feet dry with plenty of life left in them - best thing is they only cost just over £20 - bargain

I just buy my boots from TOOLSTATION some are under £30 and they are really good, made to last, warm, dry, why pay more?

The pair I have now I have had over a year and as well as using them for window cleaning I walk the dogs in them every day. I think they should see the coming winter out. They were £29
