Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I’m sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?
Cheers!
I’ve been on a personal crusade to find any kind of footwear that is truly BIFL material and have always come up empty. They are just too stressed and made of materials that don’t last. Even uncomfortable wooden shoes (like clogs or geta) wear out rather quickly.
I just go for cheap and comfortable now because even spending more money has not gotten me a shoe of any style that lasts longer than a cheaper one.
