Scully Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Have had three pairs now. Comfortable, warm, waterproof, but then they start to crack over the toes. Said I’d never buy them again but then they produced a pair with rubber over the offending part. In fairness it solves the problem for a while, but they too eventually started to crack. I still have the third pair but they are fair weather boots now, and just like a mates, squeak with each step! 🙂 They are better than the Harkila I bought from J. Norris ( was in there today; they’re still selling them ) but not as good as Meindl or Matterhorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I had a pair i think they were made in Romania, started cracking over the toes so i gave them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Have a look at Brandecosse. Their boots are generally superb and streets ahead of many main stream manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave53 Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Also checkout Dedito boots, have had a pair for a few years still as good as new. Completely waterproof and warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when I met her again last season she had changed back to Meindl, saying that they proved too narrow in the foot after prolonged use. I have heard good reports about Dedito boots also.

I suppose it depends on your feet. My boots have now done four seasons on the hill getting a real battering and subject to a bit of TLC going strong. I wouldn’t wear anything else to the point where I shall probably pick up a second pair for next season so I can rest pairs when they are soaked through.

A Livestock Farmer we know uses them everyday as work boot swears by them.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t too far for me to travel to Dumfries and Galloway, and I’m often up that way, so may call in sometime for a look see, and Dedito are even closer being just off the A66! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
