boots

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

boots

#1 Post by kevin o connor »

I have a pair of Ron Thompson moonboots for the past couple of years. They have recently started leaking and I need to replace them. I am hoping to get up to the show this weekend. Any suggestions about any wam boots I should look out for ? Thanks.
I don't fish to catch fish. I just like using the gear.

with the hopefully really cold weather behind us get a pair of neoprene socks, wear over warm socks on the really cold nights and just remove for Summer etc...

With regular normal wellies you're sorted.

K2 has a pair of Muck Boots which he bought from a local tackle dealer last year for using when out fishing and he thinks they are brilliant. Both for warmth and comfort they are a great boot. He paid £59.99 for them (or near that) and for the price they are great value for money. Made off good quality material that will last you for a long time if looked after.
They come in a number of different styles and colours.
If you have a look here it might give you an idea of what is available in the Muck Boot range and you may perhaps find something that you are looking for that you could then source at the show from one of the tackle dealers who are going to be there.
You may even get them at a good price on-line, on sites such as e-bay etc. Good luck.

Apologies for link,I'd think these would be available locally somewhere. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Imax-Trekker-Bo ... B004C9BHTS

Had a pair of these bought for me after breaking my foot in really cheap footwear last year. I have nothing to compare them to but they truly are waterproof (tested) and particularly for me the padding and support are in the right places.Grip is also really good. I actually wore these as everyday boots until I went fishing for the first time and got them dirty :oops:

My only gripe is I didn't get two pairs :p

Thanks for the answers lads. Didn't make it to the show after, so have to look around for some of the recommended ones.
