imstarvin Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'm thinking of buying some new walking shoes but not sure what to buy. At the moment I just wear trainers but would like something waterproof for road walking. Can anyone recommend something comfortable and waterproof???????

Val (Zebedee) Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I went to Milletts - a camping & walking shop that sell good, proper supportive walking boots, cost a bit but as your feet don't grow any more & if you look after them (waterproof them, etc) they last for years!

Andy Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I got my GSG9's. . . walk forever in them. . . http://www.polimil.co.uk/acatalog/Adidas___NEW_GSG9_Tactical_Boots__116_24.html Expensive, yeah. . . but I was spending £50 every couple of months replacing cheap stuff from Shoezone etc that wore out or split with a month or so. If these last a couple of years I save money. and given their pedigree . . .they had better last or I'll be complaining to the German SAS. " it's the same authoritative footwear worn by SWAT teams and Germany's GSG9 special forces group." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulusworm Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I did the Shoezone thing for a while too and my feet were killing me. Went and bought some Merrell Moabs for £60. Soooooo comfy and, if we see an offroad shortcut, they have plenty of tread too. I think that they do a waterproof version for a bit more cash. Dead comfy for running in too.

proximity Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm a big fan of some of the ascent shoes made by climbing companies. Essentially they're designed for walking through all sorts of surfaces and environments on your way to a crag, rockface, or group of boulders. Companies like Mammut, La Sportiva, Evolv etc. Probably a bit overpriced though I imagine, depending on what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
