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!

    What would you class as “renowned” because I’ve tried trespass and go-outdoors but neither one have been very much help for me. Perhaps it was lack of knowledge on either mine or the clerks part but they’ve never seemed to be too sure of what they’re selling.

    What you’re saying about replaceable soles is absolutely one of the most common (and probably best) pieces of advice I’ve recieved here and will absolutely make sure I do pick up something repairable in that aspect! Thanks for your input on that!

      I’m not based in the UK, so I don’t know :( . Locally, bigger ‘outdoor’ stores have a clerk who is ‘the shoe guy/gal’, they can get your feet scanned and pick a shoe model that is right for your feet shape. Bever Outdoor // Outdoor XL would be options here.
