LOWA Mountain Boot (Task Force collection)

[ForgeCorvus]

Mind you, I don't trust gortex. I know its got pores to let water vapour out, but what happens when they get blocked with dirt and other crud.

You wash them!! I put my man's gortex stuff in the wash,you can get bottles of the re-water-proofing stuff.

Boots too?

The re waterproofing stuff is for the outer layer . Often badged up with goretex approved as its been tested not to clog the micropourus layer

(just trying to clarify for those who are unsure how to treat goretex products)

Boots just need to be cleaned regularly to keep in good condition although I have washed my OHs and they seemed OK.

Gonna order myself a pair of these! In black though! Not gonna enjoy parting with £175 but I'm sure they'll be worth it.

They are stupidly comfy mally took about 3 short walks into town to bed them in I usually take between a size 8 or 9 UK size shoe glad I went for the size 9 as its spot on fit wise......

I quiet like the olive colour to be honest

[Mally]

Yeah I like the olive colour too but if these boots are as comfy as you say, (and I don't doubt that for a minute), I'll end up wearing them as my everyday boots.
I walk miles almost every day anyway. Can't wait til they arrive lol

[Mally]

My boots have arrived! Well chuffed with them! Pure quality

[Yorkshire Andy]

they are deffinately more comfy than my Mattahorns that i used to swear were nice to wear.... they will be relegated to car boot walk home duty over the winter me thinks....
