Ordered as quick last minute replacement next day delivery
The media could not be loaded. I ordered these as my car broke down in France and I left my much loved but ultra expensive gortex all weather boots in the back while awaiting recovery to UK . Currently December and I had two quick trips to the Baltic's, Lithuania and Poland so needed some boots fast. Read the reviews and it was these and the price point ( still hope to get my Gortex back) and the speed of delivery that did it for me. These boots have been excellent. Arrived next day Amazon Prime in time for my trips. I ordered the size 12 as I usually take size ,11 UK when it comes to trainers/shoes but I order one size up when it comes to boots as I wear with walking/winter socks. When these boots arrived I did a quick test and although they worked with the socks were a tad on the tight side so I did a return and got size 13 which have worked out really well , my advice therefore would be order one size up from your normal walking boots. These boots are lightweight but fit well and are comfortable , so far have proven warm and completely waterproof even in heavy snow. At one point I lost my drone which lost the signal and decided to do an impromptu landing so I had to go off piste and recover, the snow came right up to the top of the boots without entering and the boots remained warm and weather tight throughout . As regards the grip I note some have made unfavourable comment but I have found to be excellent even in snow and ice. The tread is deep and rugged and should last for quite some time although I will probably put them away until next winter now. I wear these boots with the laces done up to the first ankle hook only which I find works best for me leaving more flexibility in the ankle but guess that's a personal choice . Highly recommend these boots but order one size up.

Good value comfy boots
Good comfy boots, nice and lightweight, good width, true to size. My one concern is the textile lace loops in place of hooks or eyelets on the third set down from the top, on past pairs of boots these can be a weak point that wear quickly and fail due to friction when pulling laces tight. Why these couldn’t have been hooks or eyelets like the rest , I don’t know - it seems to be a style choice and not a functional one, and the cynic in me thinks possibly a deliberate designed obsolescence fail point. Thinking about fitting some small metal D-rings into these loops so that they don’t fail but will probably never get around to it. The boots are a bargain price but I don’t want to have to fork out for another pair just because these loops have failed too soon. Other than that possible future gripe, I’m pleased with them.

Good Quality Low Price Boot
I've had these boots for a month and feel that they warrant a review.Firstly, I agree that they are wearable straight from the box but I did find that I had some chaffing around the ankles. After a couple of weeks though, they are far more supple and have flattened out to hug my feet. I wear them primarily for work (retail), 5 days per week and normally cover 15-20k steps each day. Up to now they have been very water resistant and have kept the water out even when walking the dog through long grass. These boots are incredibly comfortable and I've even found that my arthritic knees don't hurt as much. On the downside, they are 100% synthetic and lack any ventilation. As a result, they do get very damp on the inside and each day, I have to remove the insoles and air them out. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, they're a good quality budget boot but I feel there's room for some improvement.Update 08/01/25 - Having used these in the ice & snow over the last few days I just have to say that the grip on these boots is just phenomenal. I've walked for miles through snow, ice & slush and haven't slipped once.

Great quality and very comfortable
Very comfortable and durable. Fit is spot on! I’ve worn these to 2 Glastonbury festivals 9 days each time and also a few hikes. Waterproof works well, worth reproofing after a few uses just to be sure
