These Boots are Made for Walking

Advantages: My feet are in love with these boots
Disadvantages: They're not cheap

...love with a pair of Brasher Supalites and I didn't have the heart to say no. With a 10% discount they cost me £108 and he assured me they were worth every penny. Bad Boot History **************** At this stage I'd been fighting the need to buy proper boots. As a student I studied geology and spent a lot of wet miserable weeks plodding over mountains with wet feet. In my book, proper boots weighed a tonne and took a lot of looking after. We used ...
...you've gotta love em. Brasher Superlites need:  To be worn and loved  To be treated once in a blue moon with a specialist cream that doesn't block the Goretex pores Things you shouldn't do in Brashers  Let a guy on the side of the street clean them for you, however much he begs and pleads - ordinary polish will block your goretex  Lend them to your friends - they'll never give them back  Really hard ...

Review of Brasher Women's Supalite GTX Leather Boot

Disapointing Footwear

Advantages: Kept feet Dry
Disadvantages: Dont last and poorly manafactured

I have been extremely disappointed with my Gortex Hillmaster walking boots. I am now on my third pair, the first 2 pairs had to be replaced because the ankle supports split, Now the third have completely worn down on the heels exposing the soft spongy substance underneath. This has happened in just over 1 year despite most of my walking being done on soft ground, I have nothing unusual about my walking style and am not overweight. These boots ...
...and at the price they are, you would expect something better. I will never buy a pair of these boots again as in my opinion they most certainly don’t represent good value for money. I have purchased boots in the past that have cost about one quarter of the cost yet they have lasted a least four times as long. ...

Review of Brasher Men's Hillmaster GTX Boots

these shoes are made for walking

Advantages: long lasting, ideal changing weather
Disadvantages: you get so used to wearing them you don't like going out in your heels!

...are the third pair of Salomon shoes I’ve owned and I don’t think I will ever buy a different brand of walking shoe again. I live in a hilly area and don’t have a car and therefore do a lot of walking, not only are they incredibly comfortable but they keep my feet dry in the wettest of weather but at the same time circulate air and therefore I’ve never had the ‘smelly trainer’ problem. Basically they are warm and dry in winter and cool in the summer. ...
...also wear them for more challenging walking, for example coastal path walks. My last pair lasted over three years with consistent use but not until the very end did they show any sign of their age. I also, and I know this is a very personal preference, find them much more attractive than a normal trainer. ...

Review of Salomon Women's Exit Aero Shoes

Best value walking equipment around!

Advantages: great price
Disadvantages: none as yet

...After seeing a Karrimor advert in sports soccer i decided i wanted to look like the girl in the advert! With my amazon vouchers from dooyoo i have bought some Karrimor traveller walking shoes at £14.57 (a bargain price) They arrived last week and are absolutly perfect. Very comfortable and soft yet supportive on the ankle. Although i havent used them for climbing yet i have worn them out a few times and they are brilliant! I have also got my eye ...
...far as walking boots ond equipment can go!) Overall --------- A great low cost brand more than fit for purpose. I will definately be buying more Karrimor in the future - just got to keep earning then amazon vouchers! Summary: great brand, reasonably priced. ...

Review of Karrimor Women's KSB 300 Event Fabric Boot

Walking on air

Advantages: Comfort, value for money, weight
Disadvantages: difficult to clean

...have owned a pair of karrimor ksb walking boots for about 4 years now. Mine are a sandy colour and will no doubt have been superceded by a new model! They are very minimalist in their design and not at all flashy, which I like. I use them maybe 6 or 7 times a year and they are still holding up well. I use them for hill walking in the spring to autumn in Scotland. As they are fabric boots you might expect them to let water in however I have never ...
...go walking in extreme conditions, but them I have set out on glorious summer days and been caught out by thunder storms. My feet have always stayed dry, even when splashing through puddles. I find these boots quite narrow, which suits my feet, but this may not be suitable for all. They are very cushioned on the inside, even 4 years on and offer good ankle support. I'm trying to be unbiased, but I cannot really think of anything bad to say about ...
