Hardwear Winter Boots
I bought these boots last year as they were on offer from my local online tackle store - Fishtec. The service from them was brilliant, very fast and very helpful.
So, to the boots, first impression was very good, well made and at a great price (£19.99) I've now worn them about 30 times throughout the year whilst out boat fishing on the great lochs of Scotland; standing on the edge of the river and fly fisheries on a wet cold day and can honestly say they are very very comfortable and extremely light to wear. Plus they kept my feet dry and warm, which is a bonus at my age when my feet get cold the toes start to hurt like mad and very uncomfortable walking the banks.
The main downside I found for the boots is the ankle support, with them being so light there isn't very much support due to the softness of the leggings and whilst not a huge problem for me they might be for some people.
It was very cold last winter with some heavy snow falls and I used them for walking back and forth to work through the snow and found they gripped really well and kept my feet warm. I did wear thicker winter socks during the colder snaps. I would recommend that you purchase a size bigger if you want to wear really thick socks or two pairs of socks inside your boots.
You can obtain these boots from any good stockists.
They should be £29.99 but you can get them from either Fishtec or from the Glasgow Angling Centre. They might not be at the top end of the range and expensive, but they are well worth the investment.
