If you’re looking for a solid pair of walking boots that won’t let you down when you’re hiking out in the wet, British countryside, these might be the boots you’re looking for. After wearing them in by taking a couple of long walks round my local park, I wore them for a five day round hike across the Brecon Beacons, covering 53 miles. This included a hike over Pen-y-fan where despite the pouring rain and fording a couple of streams, my feet remained completely dry! They are a really comfortable pair of boots, particularly round the ankles. The sole has sufficient grip, although they’re still a little slippery on wet stone, but I’m yet to find a pair of boots that aren’t. They also clean-up well and appear to be durable. In terms of sizing, I’m a 6.5 or 7 in normal shoes, and I prefer shoes that give a bit more space around the toes. I bought the size 7 and found it was a good fit.. I can’t think of any negatives.
