Originally, I wanted black walking boots - but for some reason I just couldn't find any that were waterproof and looked like they'd be suitable, in my budget.

I've had these bad boys for just over 2 years now, and admittedly I don't do 8 mile walks every week, but I do wear these shoes most days, (I even chose them over my Doc's now!) as they are just the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, and they don't look half bad either (until I tore the laces)!

These shoes have been fantastic for local street dog walks, muddy wood walks, and even beach walks - and with never a wet sock in sight! Until recently... I stood in a puddle to take a photo and my foot was drenched - after inspection I've realised that I've somehow managed to wear the sole down on just one side of the tread so much so that you can see through it.

The furthest I've walked in these boots in one go is from Whitby bay to Robin Hood's bay ( apx 12miles ) and there were no rubbings, blisters or swore feet! 

The only issue I've had is that the 'lace hooks' occasionally catch against each other/ the other shoe - but this is because I walk with my feet very close together, and tend to trip on my own feet regularly. The seam on one of them looks like it's starting to go - and I'm disappointed the laces frayed so soon, and most recently the fast wearing of the sole now making these boots unfit for purpose.

overall, I loved these boots, and am very sad to see them go and would highly recommend them if you can get them at a discounted price. I score them 9/10 - if they were black or lasted a bit longer they'd of got a 10!
