flytie Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Don't buy Le chameau mouflons, I had one pair crack in less than four months, nikwaxed every week! After being sent away to be analysied by a firm in Lancs they grudgingly replaced them with their new model. They are cracking too and the rand is coming away as well as being less padded, therefore less comfy than the last pair! Be Warned Ft ps; Try this link too for the full picture of what mouflons perform like; http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=27559 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilDot Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have a pair of mouflon boots and they have performed great! no cracking or leaking at all, oh and very comfy. However they do creek and squeek when walking so not so goo for stalking.... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Into my 4th season with mine and believe me they've had some hammer .I use Nikwax but I treat and feed the leather first with neats foot oil.On it's own the Wax is very poor ......I suppose there is a bad batch and at RRP £185 that is'nt acceptable but I would still chance buying another pair .

You were unlucky yet you have got a new pair. Why carry on the rant? LB Because they were slow, grudging, unpleasant to deal with and the new boots, less than two months old, are falling to bits.

Lancs The old ways are the best .Neats Foot OIL is the way forward ......Some of these modern products are utter rubbish IMO and do not do what thet say on the label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadeye ive Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yep the links OK FT ..............Although I did,nt count, it seemed even steven's with positive and negative reviews .......Good point made by Ian B about by using the wrong product doing more harm than good but I think Nikwax is OK albeit not as good as it's cracked up to be .

flytie Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yep the links OK FT ..............Although I did,nt count, it seemed even steven's with positive and negative reviews .......Good point made by Ian B about by using the wrong product doing more harm than good but I think Nikwax is OK albeit not as good as it's cracked up to be . When the firm from Lancs (who did the independant testing on the returned pair) rang me about my boots, I asked them what they recommended. The very nice chap said any good quality bootwax, such as nikwax. That's what I had been using, and have been using on my boots for years and years. It's not that I do not believe that there are no good mouflons, just that both pairs of mine, original and replacement have fallen to bits in no time flat. That and the very poor after sales service I suffered made me very cross indeed, I do not like to waste my money, it's hard enough to come by. I do not seem to be alone either. ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
