Re: Decent Hunting Boots
And a quick note
I was a timberland boots die hard fan and only used them since I was 5 years old (snow, hiking etc) and got a leather pair for a trip to Canada. The front soles came loose after not much hard wear and so complained about it when I got back and asked them to repair or replace. The service from the staff in the shop was terrible acting like I wanted something for free. They ended up destroying the boots without telling me and gave me a credit note.
So I will never buy from them again

Re: Decent Hunting Boots
Timberland boots were the best I had! But they are stupid expensive here now as we are getting reamed by the R/$$$.
My cousin and I both bought them in the USA when we lived there, I came back home and wore them through here because nothing could compare comfort, durability and weather proof too.
Service in SA is K@K...period... Most places think they are doing you a favor by having a business. My cousin remained behind and his boots heel parted or cracked something to that effect and they replaced his no questions asked.
I now use those Hi-tech's - I think its altitude
Are those under-armour boots not available in SA yet? I've seen quite a few of a mates clients use them.

Re: Decent Hunting Boots
Another boot I will comment on is Merrell. I have recently retired my 8 year old pair of Merrell Switchback Goretex boots for another pair of Merrells, the Reflex II Mid. I've only worn the new boots a few times in the veld but so far they're comfy, we'll see how they hold up vs the Switchbacks. I still have them but after 8 years the soles and some stitching are taking strain.
Don't buy boots without trying them on first!
