Unbeatable (For The Price)

I walk on average four miles a day on my commute to and from work and so choosing expensive shoes that would have the soles worn out on two months was not going to happen. When I first tried the Karrimor boots I was apprehensive at the price, £45 just seemed to cheap to last and were they really waterproof?

In short, they are brilliant. They are very comfortable and give good support, are fantastic for daily walking and even more extreme hikes. Completely waterproof too until they started to fall apart.

I found that the soles started to wear out after about three to four months and this was about the same time that it started to fall apart, the waterproofing continued to work but the stitching especially around the mid part of the foot where it flexes started to break, the gaps then let in water.

I have now had half a dozen pairs and I will continue to purchase them as they really are excellent value for money. Yes you can get better, but you have to pay double or triple the price.
