Sub Zero Work Boots?

[Dreadhead]

Would love some sorrels but were on a tight budget. Thanks for the advice the seelands do look pretty good for 55 but when I clicked buy on Scott country they were suddenly 100! Going to spend more time researching anyway and will check out tamarak cheers

Thanks for the links Dave that first link was sent to me by Orric the other day which led me onto the boots in my other links above i am leaning towards something like that as they are easy to slip on and off which is handy but shall keep looking!

Mate they're made by Mil Tec. The company also sell these though which aren't Mil Tec and at least have a temp rating...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CANADIAN-WINTER-SNOW-ICE-BOOTS-EXTREME-COLD-WET-WEATHER-PROTECTION-BLACK-UK-3-13-/300621723801?

exactly what i was thinking. the link you posted are the ones i'm seriously considering, i linked them above in post 13 to see if anyone had any opinions or experience with them. seem pretty good for the price

even cheaper on amazon with helpful reviews on sizing but not so good review on the temp rating http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canadian-Winter-Extreme-Weather-Protection/dp/B00654Q2MU

Hamish. I have these very boots and they were toasty warm down to -34c last year in Sweden. I can thoroughly recommend them. To beef them up a wee bit get some thick felt insoles (or 2 thin felt ones) and they'll rock. Take the liners out each evening to air and Bob's your uncle.

thanks Dave that's perfect! great to have some first hand advice. how did you find the sizing? the reviews on amazon all say go a size up or is it OK to get your regular size?

have a look at skee tex boot and field boot, very well thought of by sea fisherman. they are stocked in fishing shops so you can try them on for size. cost around £55 but can be found cheaper.

 

[maddave]

I went with regular size and they are fine

nice one reckon i will go with my normal size then, as i don't want boots that are too big and clumsy

 

[Skaukraft]

H i Hamish.
Didn't see this post before now.
What size are you?
I do have a pair of almost unused (extreme) winter working boots laying around.
I never use them, so if you are in the area you can have them for free. I think they are a size 44/45. With loose inner liner.

 

[Dreadhead]

Thanks odd what a great offer! Sadly they would be far too big for my size 42's. have found a pair I fancy and as its my birthday in two weeks I should have no problem getting hold of a pair

 

[Skaukraft]

No problem Hamish.
Theyr'e just lying around anyway.
Guess you are covered then
