Comfort and performance out of the box

These are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn, with no blisters and no rubbing from the word go. Warm and (so far) completely waterproof. Unlike their Berghaus fabric predecessors which leaked within two years despite re-proofing.
None, other than the perceived image of being a cheap brand.
A great pair of boots for general low-level hiking. Plenty of ankle support, good grip on slippery surfaces, intelligent design and superbly comfortable - all at a bargain price.

great boots at a great price

I was looking for a wide fitting boot and these are the widest I've found apart from Trezeta.They're similar in build and flex to scarpa deltas which I had to get a size up because of the width. I've yomped all over in these and even lashed my crampons on for a wee bit of an Ice stretch in the lakes a month or so ago.IMHO these are impossible to beat at the price, i'm ordering another pair already.
none in the build, but the lining isn't sympatex so breathability is down.
These are superb boots for the money and I get mine cheaper than most anyway! They'll keep you upright in the lakes in snowdonia and are comfy enough for low level stuff too.The nubuck leather seems to be pretty tough.No blisters yet and plenty of toe room too.

Great 3 season walking boots

These are wide fitting which fit me well the flex is similar to scarpa deltas and the nubuck leather is nice and durable with a high ankle and tough toe box too.
The sole is Skywalk dual density job made for contour and is pretty grippy.The boot has it's own waterproof liner which up to now has worked fine.I've kicked these around the Y.Dales and the lakes with no problems at all even did a short stretch with strap on crampons.
none
A great boot for the money, even for a ton these boots would still be a bargin. I was after another pair of Scarpas but chose these because of the build quality and the price. Superb.
