I don't what other people's experience is of Field & Trek, but I would say "Avoid them like the plague"!
I recently got an email from F&T advertising Trevica Banff boots at £59.99. They are described on their website as follows:-
These Nevica Banff Mens Boots are great for keeping your feet warm and dry thanks to a waterproof outer coupled with a woollen inner to the ankle and lace up design for a secure and comfortable fit. The waterproof boots have a reinforced toe together with a thick outsole with a great level of grip, the boots are complete with a Nevica logo to the tongue and outer of the shoe.
They seemed just what I needed for walking the dog etc and the price was ok, so I went into their Bournemouth store on Sunday and bought a pair.
Today I wore them for the first time in the rain. After 10 minutes I could feel the water coming through and by 20 mins my socks were completely soaked and squelching. Now, I don't know about you, but this is not what I expect from boots described as "waterproof"! So today, I took them back. The manager(!!??) just shrugged his shoulders and looked at me with sullen disinterest. When I pointed out the website said they were waterproof he replied that clearly that is only the rubber bit round the edge not the fabric part of the boot (despite the word "waterproof" being printed on the fabric bit). When I disagreed, he told me I was being rude to him and just kept repeating that aggressively. I asked how I was being rude (I am not a rude or aggressive person by any stretch) he said because I was arguing! He then came from behind the counter and squared up to me!
I obviously wasn't going to get any joy so I thought I would ring their head office. Guess what, no number is given anywhere and by the look of other posts elsewhere it is impossible to ring them and they usually don't reply to emails.
I'm not going to let it drop - but suggest that you good folk keep well away!

.Regards, club card thing, I think you are mixing them up with GoOutdoors. Field and Trek are part of SportsDirect.
