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 have no specific recommendations for brands but you’ll want to make sure to get a pair of boots with a goodyear welt. They’re easy to re-sole. I don’t care for buying animal products but I’m not sure that you could avoid buying leather if longevity and repairability is one of your top priorities. I’d be more than happy to be proven wrong on that last bit
