Aigle parcours for me. I would wear mine around the house if she let me!!

Aigle parcours for me, so comfy and warm. I wear mine pretty much daily

[ayano3]

Aigle for me too. Had mine 2 years and used daily and still like new. The most comfortable footwear I own.

My aigles still going strong 5 years on very good boot

Aigle for me also from those options. I wont have anything from Harkila anymore; two pairs of their 'best' boots returned after leaking in within less than a year of purchase. Went back to Le Chameau as local stockist doesn't stock Harkila footwear anymore.

From my experience such things are more for occasional wear, worn every day for proper use I have found they last about the same time as cheaper well made though less / non branded boots. Marketing spend makes up a big part of the costs.

That said "worn every day" means different things to different people and walking down a gravel path is a lot different than through muddy fields with stock in

[Dekers]

My boots get worn and used, blackthorn, brambles, wild roses, gorse, barbed wire, nails, glass and every assorted debris you can think of (it never ceases to amaze me the **** that turns up is the middle of the most scenic woodland, etc), the expensive puncture just as easy as the cheap.

 

Without doubt some of the more expensive boots have better liners and are more comfortable, but that is easy to get round with long warm welly socks.

 

£10 down the DIY stores, (or less if I get them when I'm in France - and they tend to do them in half sizes).

 

ATB with your choice!
