Default Recommend me a...

...good pair of combat boots. I quite like the look of this one for the price...
(should be worksafe - it's a shop)

I can extra tenner off the list price...which is nice.

Anyone have any positive experiences and would recommend a particular brand?

I see they've got a quality sole - but I'm a bit concerned the Vibram one might be a 'rigid' as it were...

The guys I work with swear by Lowas, as does my squaddie Bro-in-law. I used to use Magnums but they always fell apart really quick so just got some Pro boots and they seem to last even if they're not the most comfortable or practical for my needs. Is there nowhere you go to try some boots on?

I have to agree, the urban ones look the dogs...but are they really really comfy...and then some?!? What are they're bad points? And do you have a discount code? *sniggers*

There's retailers down here but never the boot I want to try. I've had a Pro boot before - with gortex...very good it has to be said.
