I would agree on the Hitec front and would add Head into the bargin. Having just trashed my Head's cutting concrete slabs for the other halfs patio, I needed a new pair of boots. However I have an extra critrea that these boots must meet, I use them for shooting so loud colours are out. Now I'm the proud owner of a pair of Karrimor Gtx 300's. Ok their fabric but they are Gore tex lined as I find leather too heavy with my knee injury. Best bit is they're green and black and I can walk silently in them.
