Lucky meeee !!

OH bought me my birthday prezzie today (2 weeks early > ) ... bring on the winter

nice

i need a new pair of hiking boots

Lucky you!

Very nice

They're my fourth pair of Salomon's, my current pair have warn out after 18mths (though they were just light weight ones I needed after my bike accident) .. still have a pair of pretty good mountain boots, but since my ankle got spasticated 18mths ago, and has heeled a lot bigger over the broken bone, they are too uncomforftable for me ... so after trying on a load this arvo at "Go Outdoors" .. these bad boys fit like a glove ... and ... they do a "comfort guarantee" ... so if I have any fit problems in the next three mths, they will change them for a differant size, or differant boot if I match the price differance if they cost more ... cant go wrong

Ideal!

that sounds great andy mine are really worn out now and do abit of hill walking or what ever you call it lol walk up this one quite abit http://www.information-britain.co.uk/naturaldetail.php?id=58 used to do it a few times a week troy loves it there

That sounds like a good deal with Go Outdoors, I got a pair of these from Cotswold Outdoors about 7 years ago, they are very comfy too. They are called Meindl Borneo:

Kaztaz - The Wrekin is a lovely hill (I think I have walked it ) .. cant beat a hill work to blow away the cobwebs

Kathy - Yeah normally I use Cotswold for all my outdoor/climbing gear, but this "comfort guarentee" thing swung it for me knowing the problems I've had with my ankle, and the CEO of Go Outdoors being a keen mountaineer helps .. I like Meindl boots, actually it was between my Salomons and a pair of Meindl's .. but the Salomons were a bit lighter, and are a little more water proof the guy reakoned .. but when ya spending this kinda money on them, there isnt a lot in it apart from how they feel on the foot really

That's the main thing for a pair of walking boots, they must feel right otherwise no point in wearing them.

Those look very comfy
