My rather cheap outdoor Boots are letting in water and done! canny well considering price and make.

With Boots, some say you get what you pay for, and this is true to a certain extent, what! I mean by this is we all have other pieces of kit to buy and it is not cheap.
However,,,The most important Pieces of kit has to be Your Boots and Jacket, mostly your boots if you feet get wet your going home.

BOOTS, are so expensive and over the years I have spent plenty on them, some were a little disappointing in regards to durability and long lasting, and very expensive, the woods tore them up!, soon enough.

So, having browsed the net, looked in gun shops and there are some nice boots on the market and pricey too, £150, £200..... :o I know you get what you pay for RIGHT.
I thought I would bite the bullet, (forgive the pun) But hold on, I lad at work mentioned he had some awesome Boots for sale cheap new in box and in my size. things were looking up!, so I had look at them and WOW!!! I was expecting cheap nasty china crap, what I got was GOR-TEX, very high grade leather and high leg so strong and thick this leather is, they are named as ( British extreme cold weather mounting Boots....gor-tex) superb boots indeed.

See bellow, these are my boots....but not me! in video.

I bought a pair of Itasca boots, internal sock, guarenteed waterproof, although, I did give them an extra coating of waterproofing agent, why? `cos £17.99 from Amazon sounded TGTB true! one year later, they haven`t let me down so far!
