Birkenstock Jackson Boots

[stevec]

I have fairly serious feet problems and the above have been recommend to me, reviews are mixed online and they are not cheap (£180) but are considerably less than a decent pair of boots with custom insoles.

Does anyone have any experience of these?

Hi, I don't have the boots but I can vouch for Thier professional cooks clogs, I'm still wearing mine after almost 4 years of use, I gave myself plantar phas by wearing cheap trainers but I can wear these clogs for 9 hrs straight.

I have a pair, i find them comfortable for short periods. However, after 4-5 hours in them my feet get a little sore with the shape of the cork insole. Great build quality though.

Thanks. Do you have the Jackson Boots?

I have these boots now and have been wearing them daily for two weeks. Very comfortable but I cannot keep even dew out of them. I have cleaned and dried them every evening and applied either kocholine or more often renapur wax every morning but just cannot keep them dry at all. Water seems to seep through the top of the toe. I spend a lot of time walking through stubble turnips and my feet are soaked in less than a minute.

Any tips on waterproofing them?

Just to be clear, I wear them every other day, as it takes a day to dry them, even if just from damp grass.

I think they are more designed for the pub than the field...?

They probably are, although an extra thick layer of dubbin held the water out today! Only boot I can manage at the moment even with orthotics.
