Waterproof boots
« on: January 07, 2009, 05:15:38 pm »
Hi all :D

My mum has just been made redundant, so I'm thinking about giving her a couple of days work a week, I'm getting some extra kit in, but having trouble finding some good boots in any size less than 8.... I use Grafters, theyre brilliant and totally waterproof... but only seem to start at size 8, does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance :D

Can't really help with the problem in hand but where do you get these 'grafters' from cause i've never managed to find any footwear that keep me completely dry.

Might get some of these   http://www.lakelandfootwear.com/lakelande57e52le.html         when my boots finally give up. They do a lace up version too. Millets do something similar and cheaper so.

Those are the ones I've got I think, cheaper than Goretex, and really dry. Steel toecapped too.

Bought a pair of waterproof walking shoes from Milletts yesterday for half price in the sale for £19.99.

Worth checking out

What you want are true waterproof boots that haveon mask technology coated on them,  used by the army, you can dunk them in the bath and the water just simply run off them, mobile phone companies are in talks about coating their phones in this stuff in the future.......
