Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I’m sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?

Cheers!

    Thanks for your detailed reply! I’ve never actually had a fitting done which I do fully intend to do for my next pair.

    I agree with what you’re saying about waterproofing when I think what I really meant was weatherproofing!

    I’ll definitely be looking to pick up some good repairable boots, probably leather and/or fabric blend.

    I appreciate your input on materials as that was the main thing I wasn’t sure on seeing as my previous pairs have all fallen apart in one way or another or simply become too worn to provide support

    I’ll be sure to keep that all in mind when I go for my new boots! Cheers!
