Red-dot Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 OK bear with me.... Blacks are offering to beat any quote by 10% and i am after a pair of the above fantastic boots (3rd pair) and at £150+ a pair I found them for £93 at Gaynor.com and sure enough Blacks have a pair on the way delivered for £83, nearly half price.

walt1980 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Jeez! That's cheap! I got a pair earlier in the year, not used them much but so comfy it's unreal! A lot of people say they leak after a while? Any experience of it?? Mine have been great. Just checked and mine are the 4d ones? Any idea what the difference is?

Red-dot Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 This will be my 3rd pair, not waterproof but make up for it by being comfy and light but can be 'proofed by spraying with Grangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-dot Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 They were top of the pretty destructive test of the top 10 walking boots on the gadget show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toads Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Red-dot, I'm after pair boots for everyday knocking about so comfort is important. What the sizing of these I would like wider fitting as problem with one foot. As you say that price is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) This pair will be my 3rd and they are used everyday for long dog walks and wisegeneral gamekeeping. On reflection i would not be as rough on them again. Comfort10/10, style 10/10, but out the box they are not wellies and should not be treated as such. For £83 delivered they cannot be beaten. Sizewise buy a half size bigger as they do shrink a wee bit after drying. Edited May 19, 2017 by Red-dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alendil Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 difference in 3d and 4d is that 4d is stiffer chassis and bit harder eva injection inside for that they are for more serious hills than just hard dog walking. as per how long they will be waterproff. goretex lined shoes / boots are 100 % waterproof unless you will get water thru the top or you will get top collar wet, _ it will soak moisture inside and make boots wet. goretex boots usually stay 100% waterproof 2-4 years but depends on the user as when foot rubs inside membrane is wearing down and splitting. also dont use dubin it will melt membrane. use nikwax/ grangers/meind sportwax. <-- lot safe and will not void guaranty. when membrane is gone then there is no amount of proofer which will make boots waterproof again. good solution is then to use waterproof sox. ( i do that in my desert boots when used in very wet places over the summer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
