Toughest boots bar none?

[chimpy leon]

What do people consider to be the toughest leather boots out there?

Im not bothered about comfort nor breathability just something with no compromise toughness and longetivity.
The main reason for asking is because day to day dog walking etc I appear to be extremely hard on footwear, even my trusty pairs of caterpillars start coming apart after 18 months.

I've got a pair of Lundhags forest boots. And I'd say they're certainly up,there, tough as he'll and they'll last a life time for sure! They breathe well and are really comfortable!

I'd encourage you to take a look at the Scarpa SL Active boot.
Read some reviews online and if you like the sound of them, try some on - if you've got a local Cotswolds they stock them.
They're heavy and expensive but very tough.
If you can find the older model, the SL M3, they were even tougher I think...

Chainsaw boots! Not cheap ones; look at what Meindl offer for tree work

I use Haix gold, just a bit reluctant to wear em out when Im not making saw dust. That said they are very tough.

Are you looking to buy a pair. I have some leather boots in 10 that sound like they would fit your requirements.

I'd look for some issued boots mate; the issue winter goretex are quite robust, can be warm though! Good old German para boots are quite durable...

Thats three recommendations for the German para boots now. May have to give a grade 1 pair a whirl. They look up to the job.

How far do you walk the dog? Sounds like a pair of wellies would do the job. Do you actually need boots? Pair of trainers might well do the job.

Most dog walkers put more miles in a year than hikers ever do.

When Skadi was fitter I used to put in two miles per walk, twice a day on the fells.

Add it up, that's nearly 1500 miles a year.

Quite far over uneven ground. I only bother with wellies after its been p155in it down or on my permissions. Lol at the trainers. Im not after trainers, im after boots. I dont just take the dogs out for a quick **** up the nearest lamp post, then head home.
