John Norris=Hoggs boots

I managed to get a pair of these reduced (at the time £64.99 last month) and I figure, what the hell, worth a punt, I'm fed up with the likes of Meindl costing 4 times as much and only lasting just over a year, I just end up wearing Sealskinz socks to keep the water out.
First impression, maybe a little heavy but around the same weight as the Meindl Burma, certainly waterproof, I'll see how they last and report back when they give up the ghost

I’ve had mine for about 6 months now, wear them 6 days a week, still very comfortable, rubber had a slight gap at the toe from the leather but don’t leak and I do a lot of mole work where I’m on my knees with my toecaps on the floor so that’s to be expected

Would you like to elaborate on that sir
