Bring on the kipplauf!

All clothing is always an expensive part of your kit, it's good to hear people talking about what they are using and there opinions, over the years I have spent a lot of money on clothing and have found that not all is what you would expect for what your paying, more people need to reviews like this one because then there would be more information out there before you spend your hard earned money ! Thank you 👍 I personally think that socks are just as important as the boots you are putting on and if you have the wrong ones they will make the best pair of boots in the world seem bad !! The little things make such a big difference ☺

For me, boots need to be instantly comfortable (obviously), waterproof, breathable but most importantly, it must cup my heel and reduce impact there plus support and protect my ankle ligaments. I had a recent French pair that collapsed around my heel after a few months and you'd think I was a cripple getting out the car after driving home when I was wearing them. Best boots I ever had were the old Chameau Mouflon. Unbelievably good, so well made that not even a cashmere sweater munching, boot chewing cocker spaniel pup couldn't destroy them. Chameau haven't been at the races since the Mouflon, after which they moved the manufacturing centre to Morocco, I believe.

Great video. Boots can make or break your day. I would check smelling your fathers boots is in your job description 🤣. Keep the gear videos coming! Paul@testvalleyvenison

Thank you for this. I don't know anyone who wears them but sounds like they worth a try. One thing, does you think that their sizes come up standard, slightly big or small?

Have you tried the Hanwag?
