[Help] Mens Walking Boots

[The Clamp]

interetsing thread , wouldnt mind a pair but they all look so ugly,

I know its for walking but could they be worn in a pub and none of those listed I'd be comfortable doing that.

Timberlands do the job and double up for me but hoping to see some more replies

Why would anyone wear their walking boots to the pub unless the pub was on the walk?

Vasque make very solid hiking / walking boots. Most comfortable boots I've worn

I got some North Face ones that are nice and warm and super comfy. They do look at bit 'old bill' though. Were about £80 in the ASOS sale

If anyone buys walking shoes / boots from Millets.
They give discount to people with Blue Light, Defence Discount & National Trust cards, I think 10% or 15%

people wear trainers to the pub, I tend to run in mine, or kick footballs

No need for that, it was meant in jest. As I'm sure you know.

I've had my Berghaus boots for about 15 years now and they're almost as good as new, having done various trips to the Lake District, Scotland, and regular walks around the country.
Had some Brashers before that which only lasted a couple of years. Make of that what you will.

Berghaus ... no competition really.

my dog doesn't walk much, he hates boots, Mrs Zef tried when he got all muddy. very funny.

He prefers swims ;-) This was Christmas week.

Meindl Toronto for me. Rubber toe cap has broken away in just 4 years but still waterproof. Lightweight and immediately comfy from new.

Completely agree with this!

My last pair of Vasques saw me through five years of the Lake District, South Downs, East Coast Trail, Adirondacks and Gatineau Hills.

Woh massive respect . If I walk a mile along Hove seafront and back , I feel like I need a lie down after !

I was like that but since first lockdown I have packed in cigarettes and alcohol, and have been working from home since then. It is an escape for me and I live a few minutes walk from the south downs.

Another vote for Vasque from me!

I got a pair (from the excellent REI store) when I first moved out to Arizona in 2002. They weren't water-proof but they don't need to be for this climate. They were so, so comfortable and I wore the tread off them.

In preparation for a trip further afield I bought a pair that WERE waterproof, and they have been just as comfortable - I love them.

Looks like its not easy to buy then from UK after a quick search but will persevere

Yes, I did wonder about that (I have no idea of their availability outside of the US).

You'll just have to arrange a holiday in the States so you can pick up a pair.
