Thread: Advice on new boots

I've just bought a pair of BESTARD Seraks from EZDirect. Great service. They look the deal and are very comfy for my wide feet. A few days in the hills next week will be the real test though.

Spent many years in Bullers and Rubber Hikers and they killed my feet. They don't have any cushioning effect and the Hikers cook in the summer. And if you work with sheep they are bloody terrible in the drenching race. You feel every damned hoof that treads on the top of your feet. They are great to wear hunting alright, but believe me, they are buggering your feet for old age.

I've had a couple of pairs of Mammut Crest GTX over the last few years and they have been excellent including in hard Tahr country. They are fantastic value and are wide fitting. For value and durability I don't think you can go past them. Mountain Design often have them on sale. I have only changed to the Bestards because they are a higher boot and I'm having trouble with an archilles that needs support.
