  1. Haven't heard back from those who expressed an interest, so open to offers.
  2. I think you're right in saying they're the same, lining-excepted (as are the fur-lined ones), but I've found neoprene to be too hot when it's not so cold.
  3. Hunter Sovereign leather-lined boots, UK size 6/EU 39, brown, new and unworn. These are the last of the Scottish-made Hunters - they have a replaceable stitched sole, brown natural-rubber uppers, a full-length waterproof zip and are fully-lined in a tan leather. They are a generous size 6. Very difficult to find now. £150 plus delivery at cost (£7.55 by next-day courier, or by whatever method you'd prefer)
  4. Can't get on with Muck Boots - shape of the heel is uncomfortable for me. Warm though.
  5. I quite like them, perhaps I have a hitherto-undiscovered uniform fetish: Although I prefer the older Sovereigns: Better to my eyes than the Le Chameaus: Seelands look rather odd:
  6. I see that Seeland also do a leather-lined boot, but they have pretty strange-looking soles. Also heard good things about their quality.
  7. I'm after a new pair of leather-lined boots and was looking for some advice. My first choice was to try to locate a pair of the pre-Balmoral Hunter Sovereigns (i.e. made in Dumfries and not China), but that has proved impossible. That left the Le Chameaus (apparently now made in Morocco) and the Chinese Hunters. I've had Aigles before, but the rubber perished - don't think it liked cow muck. Everyone I know with the Chasseurs really rates them, but I appear to be in-between sizes in them (either too short in the foot or too loose in the heel); I also prefer the colour and look of the Balmoral Sovereigns (and they're available for £100 less). Has anyone had recent experience, good or otherwise, of the Chinese Hunters?
