Just brought a pair of these. Very light will let you know how I get on

Nice and light and fit is good walked around 10km yesterday beating all good so far!

Ended up with the Lowa z-8 gtx boots. Cheers for all the info guys.

farmland,riverbeds and steep bush sounds like lace up rubber ashley country to me......and when first pair wears down in the sole...burn some drainage holes in them for river work when its high and you going to be wet from get go.

yep skellerup bullers for me. Cheep, good grip, comfortable,
Waterproof, Snazzy looking, good quiet stalking boot. I also like that fact that there is not an excessive amount of support around the ankles. Helps to build up stronger ankles.

Get on the interwebby thing and dial up ( or wireless redband ) for TARANAKI RUBBER CO .....they have some great boots there for us fullas & fullessess

backcountry.com is a good place to look for reviews for gear cause it sells so much stuff if you looking for reviews on stuff as well

are the Salomons @ Sideshow ? ive had some Salomon Quest something or others for 2 years now , wont be going back to full leather for in the bush.

I've been enjoying the Grisport Hunter Pro. They are light compared to the other boots I've seen on the shell.

The first pair lasted me just over 2.5 years. They were never treated with grease and I use to dry them in front of the fire place. I still use them around the house and do my dog walks in them, I fully intend to use them in the coming bird season too until they fully give up. I just bought my second pair and I'm quite happy with them. I find they need breaking in a little, once your foot beds in nicely they are great. The other Grisport shoes didn't qutie appeal to me that much, either they were too heavy or they had too much padding that will hold water.

However I am very keen to give the Skellerp Buller a try with some puttees.
