Gibbybox Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Afternoon folks! I'm on the hunt for some reasonably priced boots for use in the field, when clay shooting and for general hill walking. I've came across a variety of Hi-Tec brown leather boots which seem to fit the bill and wondered if anyone has any experience with them? I've listed them in order of price: Eurotrek Waterproof Hiking Boot (in brown leather) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Tec-Mens-Eurotrek-Waterproof-Hiking/dp/B0020HR7NO Coniston Waterproof Hiking Boot http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Tec-Mens-Coniston-Waterproof-Hiking/dp/B0020HR7NE Altitude IV WP Hiking Boot http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Tec-Mens-Altitude-Hiking-Boot/dp/B0020HR7MU Vlite Altitude Ultra Luxe Waterproof WPi Hiking Boot http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hi-Tec-Vlite-Altitude-Waterproof-Hiking/dp/B0035ER006/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top If you have any suggestions of other brands of boots (preferably brown leather) I'd be delighted to hear! My budget can stretch to £70 or so but I'd rather spend less if possible. A' the best Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Had a pair of the Eurotrek for a couple of years. They haven't leaked yet although they don't get a great deal of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I`ve had a couple of pairs of Hi-tech boots,great value knockabout boots but wouldn`t recommend them as a serious walking boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Pigeon Shooter Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Have you tried Go Outdoors? They will do mail order and have about 40 stores around the country. Try to look on Gooutdoors.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbybox Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I might go for those Brashers as they seem like a serious boot! I'll give Go Outdoors a look, cheers! Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayandgame Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Try www.riversideoutdoor.co.uk or look on their ebay shop. Gary usually has some good priced boots and he is great to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Sheen Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Gadget show had a pair of brown Hi-Tecs on todays show and they had some good reviews, comfy and waterproof apparently... If it way my money id shop around for a pair of brashers or meindls in the sales though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr salt Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 i use dealer boots quicker to put on and take off, or a pair of wellingtons when its wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbybox Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Washerboy, the first ones you linked to look just the ticket! I think it's between them and cheaper Hi-Techs. I actually have a pair of dealer boots but they don't provide enough support or grip for hiking up and down hills, good for clays or dodging about if it's dry I suppose.

thepasty Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 i was out shooting last night, my buddy came along and before we set off I said "you're going to need wellies, its can be 6" deep in water in parts of the fields"... "I've got my Brashers, I'll be fine" he said.... and much to my surprise after stomping around in water for 2hrs his feet were still dry..

bear-uk Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Just got some of the hi-tec brown boots from T K max for £40. No idea of model, but have used them for window cleaning and shooting. So far no problems considering all of the flooding around my area.
