I just purchased the Grisport Gamekeeper boots off Amazon and having previously owned a pair of Grisports that served me well, I was confident trying these.

Well… they arrived and felt very comfy but the overall quality wasn’t great, especially the stitching. Fair few loose threads, some of the stitching on the inner tongue was bent and more stitching on one side compared to the other. The boots already arrived slightly scuffed and marked from factory, which was disappointing.

I know these are cheap budget friendly boots in the grand scheme of things, but it’s put me off altogether.

I know on Amazon there’s mixed reviews with some singing praises and others saying they’re leaked immediately.

So now I’m looking at the brandecosse range, and they look sexy!!! 🤣

A friend has owned a pair for a few years and his still look brand new, although he does clean them frequently.

Am I being too fussy with the Grisport Gamekeepers, knowing that I’m purchasing a cheap boot or is it really worth spending 3 times the price on the Tasso’s?

I do believe in the good old saying, buy cheap = buy twice….

Grateful to hear other people’s views and experience on either of the above boots..
 
I have a few different pairs of boots that I use, depending on what I'm doing, shooting-wise or walking the hounds
I wear Grisports a lot if I'm just out for a few hours stalking. I find them comfortable and light on my feet, and plenty of width in them.
I have never owned a pair of Brandecosse boots, so I can't comment on them, but they look good.
I wear my Lowa boots a lot, great ankle support, warm, and never had wet feet in them yet. You can have a look at the Lowa boots on here, Rob and Jess stock them @Monarch Country Products
Great folk to deal with :thumb:
 
Black Islander boots.

You'll never buy anything else.

Buy walking boots online - Blackislander imports two of the most innovative boots on the UK market today- the 10½ high leg Scratchless Boot and the 9
www.blackislander.co.uk www.blackislander.co.uk

Done 4 seasons, approx 30 days a season beating in them through bramble and every other type of cover. Only now this year started to let a bit of water in. £235 for a pair.

My dad has a pair that have done 7 season with same amount of days per season.

Only draw back is you must email them, cannot order via online link.

New pair ordered this week. From payment to delivery to my door - 15hrs
 
Reading with interest as I’m interested in a new pair of boots and am considering the Brandecosse brand as well as the Black Islander and Dedito Moorland boots.

Maybe it’s me or that my current pairs of boots are less rigid than they used to be, but I find the terrain up here extremely hard on boots and they require more attention to help them cope. The Black Islander and Moorland boots appear to meet the requirement in regards robustness but may lack the comfort whereas the Brandecosse may meet the comfort side of things but may require a lot of upkeep to warrant the price tag and a decent lifespan.
 
I have four pairs of Meindl boots. 2 x Dovre extreme, 1 x Dovre short and 1 x summer boot.

All are over 10 years old. One pair of Dovre extremes is over 20 years old. No leaks, no cracks or any major deterioration despite lots of heavy work. All are regularly cleaned with a decent application of Doc Martens Wonder balsam.

"Cheap" doesn't come into my thoughts, it's value for money that counts?

These look awesome, although haven’t heard of these before. Website looks outdated and strange no pricing is advertised…

I am looking at the same. Like the moorland but not sure about the strap. Brandecosse look great. A shooting mate just got some and whilst great on peg, not convinced on robustness for stalking. Just tried to look at black islander and site down! Their gaiters are great

You don’t think the brandecosse would be great for stalking? My mate has been using a pair for 2-3 years and loves them not sure which model he has though as I can’t see it on their website.

The Tasso look great but the black islander look more durable but their website looks really outdated with the deduction referring to 2013 dates. Also feedback on customer service is not good either…
 
I have a pair of Tasso’s, still wearing them in but so far I’m impressed. Good grip, comfort is fine, I expect they will improve once worn in. They’re a very handsome and well made boot. They’re tall, almost like wearing a ski boot - which is great if you’re in boggy areas, but not so great in the hills. If you don’t need the height, then I’d say the Volpe is going to be a better choice. Brandecosse service was very good too, nice people to deal with.
 
British Army Iturri cold weather boots. About £80 new from Ebay if you shop around and aren't in a hurry. Ludicrously cheap for what they are. I don't like really high boots myself - I don't really see the point. They are harder work to walk in and if you're wearing gaiters then I don't think high boots keep you any dryer in practice (yes, in principle, high-boots allow you to stand in slightly deeper standing water/mud, but who actually does that?).

Looking at the Lowa Hunter Evo Extreme - they look great and similar style / size to the Brandecosse Tasso & £90 cheaper too (£240 vs £330)…. 🤔

I have the hunters and been good. If I stay with Lowa then be the Tibets next as get hot feet and they have no insulation lining. Always had Meindl Dovre high boots then got nervous when all the quality issues occurred, which I believe have been addressed.
