Peter Storm Women's Scafell Ultra Fabric Boot

Advantages: (+)Waterproof, (+) Breathable, (+) Sturdy, (+) Good quality, (+) Well Priced
Disadvantages: (-) Leather boots need taking care of

..., but not once did I twist my ankle. The boot has a great deal of support around the heel with lots of padding on the fabric inside lining. The overall boot is durable and also waterproof. It has a sewn in leather tongue so there are no gaps between the boot and the tongue as it is all in one to prevent water getting in to the inside of the boot. Technically you would be able to stand in water up to above your ankle in depth and not get wet as the leather creates a waterproof cover (providing you keep the boot care up and look after it). The boot is also breathable so it limits sweating from your feet with in the foot. **********Quality********** Peter Storm is a very well known and respected make in the 'outdoors' industry.

Disadvantages: They're not cheap

Boot Problems ************ Women's boots are usually built to be lower round the back of the ankle than men's boots. This is something to do with anatomy - not so obvious as a bit of extra space in the crotch of your jeans but whatever the reason, it seems to be established practice with boot makers. Common practice believes boots need to be stiff around the ankles in order to give support - but then if they are too stiff, they rub like heck and my bony little knobbles get reduced to red raw bumps of pain. Luckily, I have strong ankles as a result of playing ice hockey for years and building them up so I don't want too much support. Feet have been getting longer and wider... Read review
