Boots

I seem to be fated with naff walking boots. So far I haven't had a pair that lasted any longer than 9 months before they are letting in water & this is walking through wet grass not swimming the Channel! Karrimore are my nemesis, just had a full refund on a pair that lasted only 3 months! Wouldn't touch that make again. On Number One sons recommendation from a friend of his I've gone for Salomon boots. The waterproof bit is Gore-tex which even I have heard of as being good. More than I'd usually spend (£95 down from £130 then another 15% off) but maybe that was the problem.  As June has started incredibly wet & cold they may get alot of use. Stay tuned.
