Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I’m sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?

Cheers!

    Lem’s were on my shortlist to try, but I was able to snag some Vivobarefoot FG Tracker’s off ebay for an amazing price, and I’ve been super happy with them.

    I did read of some Lem’s owners successfully resoling they’re boulder boots. Apparently it’s possible to sand down the soft outer sole flat, and then glue on a new sole to that. Might be worth asking a local cobbler about before buying a new pair when yours are getting on in years ^^

      I’ll have to look into that. I’m more worried about the sole separating from the upper, but if I wear through them first I’ll give it a shot.
