Not tyres, boots, like one wears on ones feet.

I'm not one for walking boots as they tend to go too high up the leg, kind of Doc-Marten 12-up style, but I need something more waterproof and grippy than trainers.

Tending to the garden yesterday I had wet feet in minutes and slipped over twice. I can't stand wellies as I just end up with cold feet and safety boots are not comfortable to be worn all day.

Any recommendations please chaps? Waterproof-ish, ankle boot style if possible and a grippy sole.

AKU-try them from Trekkies on line

Reecy

I use either Brasher Supalite II GTX or Berghaus Explorer and find them comfy, and not too high


Cheers,

you could try these Dom, nice and warm and added claws for grip,








or, from sports direct these very cheap boots which are higher than what you want but probably will ok for the garden,

(Just one choice, obviously not suggesting you need a boys size )

The last couple of pairs of working boots/trainers/steelies etc i have bought have been "De Walt” fabulously comfortable and honestly/surprisingly one of the best foot purchases I’ve ever made

Highly recommended

12v or 18v Craig, and how long does it take to charge them up...??? Pete

Exactly Pete

I was very sceptical but the first pair were something like 85% reduced so cost peanuts... I then actively searched for more

Ah mark but are you wearing them "proper" in the cool dude manner with the laces very loose. Also if you did as I did and buy a pair too large they slip off very easily

Also sorrels are only £99.

Get a gardener problem solved 👍

Merrel , timberland , Adidas .
I wear hiking boots for work by the above brands .
Waterproof and comfortable ankle boots .
If you want no-lace , I wear jallette riggers .
Try arco safety for mail order , they're who I used last for timberland euro hikers and jallette last time I was in the UK .

Altberg.

They have other styles but these are the ones I bought. http://www.altberg.co.uk/product/gamekeeper-boot/

I cannot stress how comfortable or how waterproof they are; I use mine for shooting, walking, any reason to wear them! They also do fitting service (factory based and around the country on a roadshow) if you wanted ultimate fit. If I remember correctly, they say to buy one half size up from your normal size but I would speak to them. I bought mine from a local supplier so I could try them on; Altberg have a re-sole service.

If you want slip on type , wait till Aldi have a work wear sale.they do some ankle boots with elasticated sides .I've had them for work before and it's like wearing slippers and only £13 to boot 2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey
