I have the oldest DM boots still alive (there is a picture of them on here somewhere) :wacko: for clays etc.

But for serious walking/stalking/beating I have a pair on Meindl Borneo Pro's - I can't recommend them highly enough

[rustybucket]

atm aigle iso open (wellies) but looking at getting some jack pyke boots

[dustyfox]

I have Le Chemau (spelling) mouflon boots and Le chemau Wellies the one that begins with a V.

[Mungler]

Danner, the mutts nuts and v cheap off ebay from the yanks at fort brag who get them government issue.

Boots DMS direct from H.M. Forces...............top banana IMHO.

[WGD]

Meindl Dovre Extreme - superb IMO. Out of the box comfy, plenty of support without being too stiff, warmer than wellies and more water proof when worn with decent gaiters (as my thigh deep submerging in mud last Saturday will testify too - feet still dry at the end of the day )

I buy Regattas stuff cos its very good quality and last well.

 

These are my boots.They're waterproof,very comfortable,grip good in muck,warm and i dont get sore feet when walking for distances.

For most of my shooting (vermin control ) I use a pair of Hi Tec magnum boots. They are waterproof, sweatproof and comfy. I used a pair 4 years ago while trekking in the Himalayas and they outshone most of the boots that the others were wearing. Temperatures went down to minus 20 but my feet were still warm.

I got a pair of hitech walking boots fom T.K.MAX

 

There waterproof and look cool enough.

 

Reduced from £75 quid to £18 I wish i had bought two pairs now

I was on my way to the outdoors shop to get a hundred pound pair.

 

Worth alook

[chrispti]

Lowas, had em 7 years now, still warm and dry. They have done some miles too !!!! :wacko:

[vmobiler1]

I`m with chrispti on this one had my lowas a good few years now!

LaCrosse Hunting Boots - Brawny II - 10 Inch comfy, light, waterproof and not too expensive.

[Ozzy Fudd]

for clays i wear trainers or whatevers handy! for hunting, depending on how wet and boggy its going to be, a pair of cheap wellies from b+q for very muddy and boggy, good old british army assault boots for when its not very boggy but you might get a few patches, and a pair of goretex ankle boots for when its hot weather

[harryhawk]

Lowa walking shoes for the summer,

Karrimor Snow Fur Weatherlite boots for the winter,

Le chameau Vega cotton lined wellies for the summer,

Le chameau Vega neoprene lined wellies for the winter.

Im with some of the lads on Lowa's you can also try Hanwag or Altberg if you want to buy British, stay away from Hi-Tec as they are generally not well made and dont offer any ankle support.

Danner, the mutts nuts and v cheap off ebay from the yanks at fort brag who get them government issue.

 

 

I'm with the brief on this one

 

Danner Recon - they're unbelievably comfortable even the first time you put them on, no pain, no rubbing, chafing or discomfort :wacko:

[Jonno243]

I use Le Chameau Mouflon Plus boots or Le Chameau Chasseur wellies, but I would also recommend looking at the Bestard line of boots, a couple of stalking pals swear by them and Ali T at Bushwear reckons they are the bees knees.
