The boot does however only go up to a size eight, but there is always men's?! The width is good for me too, however I keep the lower section of the boot loser when I tie my laces and the ankle support quite tight to secure my foot and prevent it slipping in my boot. **********Price********** Peter Storm is often a slightly cheaper make to other competitors like North Face, Regatta, Gore-Tex or Berghaus.

The men’s are available in black and graphite and the women’s are in graphite or midnight blue (mine are blue hence the title, my partners are black) The boots are a combination of materials: • The uppers are water-resistant Nubuck leather (Suede) and Cordura 1100; the Nubuck leather gives a high degree of comfort as it is not as rigid when new as shiny traditional leather and the Cordura increases durability • The lining is Gore-Tex Sierra; this liner prevents water entering yet allows moisture [such as sweat) to escape keeping feet dry and comfortable.
