new waterproofs for summer!!
« on: May 28, 2014, 09:38:06 pm »
i got myself some new waterproofs while i was away for the weekend in chester.

north face "monte lema" hyvent jacket £105

sprayway "hydro/dry" all day rain pant £75

both from cotswold outdoors shop.

certainly tested them out in todays rain!came home bone dry plus they dont make you sweat.

by the way guys if your struggling with wet feet i wear bergaus GTX explorer light boots.very comfortable and feet nice and dry even in really heavy rain. ;)
price higher/work harder!

Karrimor boots are such bad quality. When they were bought over the quality went out the window . I stick with caterpillar & timberland!

And why do you need to look fashionable whilst out cleaning windows? It's work, not a fashion show.

I am crippled with bad heels at home now.

Karrimor boots were good. Used to last 2 years, then a year, now 4 months and they are ********ed! I am really annoyed as after 4 months the insole is so thin and its caused plantar fasciitis for me.

Went and purchased some expensive gel in soles and its helped loads today but the pain is unbearable. Spoke to the chap in sports direct and they get several complaints a week now about Karrimor and people with the same issue. Painful feet and heels!

Done with Karrimor boots now, total ****ing ***** !!!!!!

My daughter has just bought some Fit Flop shoes (actually I paid for them) and they have helped enormously with Plantar Fasciitis. I doubt the cause was those boots though.

The boots are not the main issue. Its the insole. Its almost worn through in less than 4 months. The boot without a insole is horrible to walk in. I had to wash them some weeks back and forgot to put them back. Like another poster said in here. They are crap now.
