bob300w Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Anybody got the Grub(!) ones seen in recent ads?Have won some kind of award I recall.

Dunkield Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Unseasonale post this, it ALWAYS comes up in December. Same answer as last time, and the time before that - Chameau Vierzonord, mine are 8 years old and still going strong. Going back to the 'how do you mend them' question I sliced the toe on some bramble and sealed that up with Aquasure and it worked 100% but you have to do it as soon as you see it and clean the cut out with alchohol or similar before mending it. Another tip (from a Le Chameau salesman) is to not bother with their cleaning stuff, use Armorall instead to give them a wipe down every once in a while.

garyb Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Another vote for Aigle here.. I won't part from my pair of parcours ISO's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chop Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Muck boots may be comfy, but remember that they are not waterproof up to the shins, as they are neoprene. Also they are 10 times more prone to ripping on brambles as I have find out twice!! Cant beat them for comfort thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearandnoidea Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hunters for me, I did have to buy some new ones earlier in the year as the neoprene ones were just too warm when it isn't winter. I did wear a real cheap pair all last weekend and I noticed a huge difference in the comfort betwee them and the hunters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_commoner Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 le chams for me, used daily, 2 years old and still looking pretty good, pricey but well worth it IMHO, super comfy, warm and tough enough for eveything i have used them for so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprinter Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Right i have effected a repair and this will be tested in the next day or so. Thanks again for all your suggestions and replies, the only thing i would say is in the environment i operate (daily trudges through briars and blackthorn thickets while chasing poults) muck boots and the like look about as durable as a chocolate fireguard, so please no more votes in that direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry b Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 royal hunters (£150ish) had two seasons plus lots of use in between,warm comfy and plenty of grip as they have commandoe sole.mine are leather lined and i must say it makes a differance ie no sweating and very supple which reduces risk of spliting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly the cheap option at 80 quid plus a pair.

big simmo999 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I prefer normal hunters. I've had parcours and also chemau's but for beating and walked up the neoprene's are too warm for me. If i were stood still or sat down as in hide shooting then the neoprenes would win - but if I'm on the move normal hunters are perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambu13 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Smig what about the hunter balmoral neos? i know the standard ones are rubblish my girlfriend got some and they were dust in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Am trying to decide between Aigle Parcours Iso Opens or Aigle Parcours Vario Outlast. Any problems with the zipped 'Open' types? Otherwise, I do quite like the new outlast lining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinFerNan Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Another vote for Aigles here, most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I have owned mine for 15 years although they have only been used regularly for about 5 years. They have endured a fair amount of walking although not heavy use to be fair. But they are still going strong :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinFerNan Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 You will probably need to see them and try them on to see if they are worth more. They are "finer" and less bulky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmooney Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Funny this.....I was just getting ready to post a "help me pick a pair of wellies topic" I'm stuck between Aigle Parcours and Le Chameau Vierzonord. Any advice either way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
