jojusa Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) TFGear Primal AP Extreme Boots I'm looking for anyone who might have used these boots and could give me any info on them. I'm having the battle in my head of "do I need boots or wellies" and the boots are winning at the moment. I've seen a lot of the topics on here about this subject and I don't like the possibility of the wellies getting split or punctured as knowing my luck this would happen on my first walk through the woods! Another factor I need to consider is that we walk around 4 miles when we are rough shooting and I've been told that wellies are not too good for doing a lot of walking and boots would be better but this info came from the shop trying to sell me some £150 Lowa boots. Any info would be very much appreciated. http://www.totalfishinggear.co.uk/ProductD...opListRec=38613 Edited January 27, 2009 by jojusa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallysmarksrn Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 hi mate, have 2 pairs,they are not%100 waterproof but are a very good boot, cant complain,for wat they cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have boots and wellies, When rough shooting i wear either. Walking 4 miles in quailty wellies is no problem but you may well find them more expensive than the boots you are looking at, my Aigle ISO wellies are bout £100.00 but fantastic. For dryer weather i use my other boots, i have a pair of Brashers very good but again about £100.00. Difficult to beat the wellies in the mud around the farms at this time of year.

charliebrown Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Ive got an old pair of brasher Hillmasters, Goretex lined so waterproof to near the top of the tongue. Very comfy for walking in, and keep my feet pretty warm when im fishing. Got them from mountain Warehouse http://www.mountainwarehouse.com/ Used to work for them so got a nice discount, but they were priced at £55 retail so bit of a bargain, given ive had them 5 years ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojusa Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks for your comments gentlemen, I think I'll forget about the TFGear boots . I'll have a look at the Tay muckboot as they seem to get good reviews but I'm still a little concerned that wellies might damage easily .

ozzy518 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I got a pair of these TF gear jobs.....As already said, they aint waterproof despite the claims that they are.. After getting fed up with cold wet feet in my supposed waterproof boots i find that i only ever wear em now if i have goretex socks on too.

Nial Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) I'll have a look at the Tay muckboot as they seem to get good reviews but I'm still a little concerned that wellies might damage easily . I thought I needed a pair of wellies and had a quick look at these. They (probably all neoprene based boots) seem very flimsy to me, I'm really looking for a bit of support in a boot. My current boots are an old pair of hiking boots that have a fairy rigid sole which I like also, it makes walking over boulders/walls etc much easier. Is there enough/any support in the muckboots? Forgot to say, those TFGear boots look pretty good for the money. Are they not waterproof when standing in water, or are they not waterproof at all? Nial.

ozzy518 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Not at all waterproof mate, just walk through a wet field and you get wet feet. I thought i'd bought a dodgy pair but loads of people that have also bought em have also complained that they dont do what they are sposed to....100% waterproof? my ****!!!!!

jonboy1 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 mate are they the ones that cost about £50, if so, then they are the same as mine got from angling direct and they are 100% waterproof. I've even stood in the margins past ankle depth whilst fishing and still had dry feet, they're also very lightweight, only drawback i've found is your feet do sweat a bit in them (non breathable) so pong a bit if you walk a long way.

Cannon Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have a pair of these TF boots and honestly have never had any problems with them. I've walked through 10 inches of muddy water etc and came out dry. Must've got a special pair or something lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
