Paul223 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi folks I'm after some recommendations for shooting boots, (not wellies) preferably available in wide or extra wide fitting. water proof and good ankle support are a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I just use a pair of Rigger Boots. Warm and comfortable, waterproof and plenty of ankle support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I find a good back stop is more neccassary than usual for shooting boots, so avoid shooting them off the tops of fenceposts or horizon shots etc. The last time I tried it I painted one of them white and was able to see it out of the bedroom window well after dark. Old boots are the best ones for shooting. Edited July 19, 2012 by Dave-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiLisCer Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Meindl Dovre Extreme gtx - not cheap but very comfortable even on a long hot day. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 +1 for the above. May not be cheap but will last a long time. Comfy warm but above all waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86inch Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I have wide feet and picked up a pair of Harkila Mountain GTX 8" boots at a very good price. After having worn them for lots of short periods they have broken in nicely and are very comfortable. The Harkila footbeds weren't much cop for my feet though, so i ditched them and put in some from my old Salomons and they are now much better.

activeviii Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Harkila GTX 8" for me as well. I have also got on well with Columbia boots but they are a little heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 lowa mountain boot GTX would be first choice but i am loving my HARKILA 10" GTX. Have a look on John Norris web sit they are allways on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't class them as wide fitting I'm a 8.5 but have wide feet so normally go for a 9, I attempted to try on some buckdens but couldn't even get in a 10. I wear Meindl burmas which are very good, tiny bit narrow to start off with but have bedded in nicely, the Meindl Dovre extreme are a wide fit so that's gonna be my next treat to my self.

chrispti Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I just use a pair of Rigger Boots. Warm and comfortable, waterproof and plenty of ankle support! I wouldnt want to go walking in them :blink: They have about as much ankle support as a pair of flip-flops :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nial Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 A cheaper option is a pair of second hand German army para boots. I've got a pair about a month ago from ebay or Amazon as general garden/garage/shooting boot and am they're brilliant. Already broken in, comfortable, plenty of ankle support etc. Cost about £30 including postage so they don't owe me much. Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
