(Part Time) Shepherd's Boots

[unlacedgecko]

These old girls finally went in the bin tonight.

I'm after a good pair of lace up boots for field work and walking the dogs. Ideally, something I can wear all year round, so water proof but not too warm.

I'll be buying some steel toe redbacks for pen work, but need some lace ups for field work. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.

Bit to warm until you wear them out, I wear them fencing, they did 6 fencing seasons!

Why not just buy the same ones again??

These ones had a canvas upper. Lovely and cool in summer but meant I got wet feet from grass dew.

I may have to return to leather combat assault boots...

We paid a fortune for top of the line Merrells and it was worth every penny - these:

I've got a pair of Hi-tec walking type boots for work use in the summer. Nice and light and waterproof.

Are red backs true to size?
