    Cheap tide me over boots

    My boots fell apart last weekend, after about 3 years of hard slog. The plan was to look at replacing them with something like a crispi nevada mid next year, but I'm not spending that sort of cash right now.

    Folks got any recommendations around the $250 range? Or should I just suck it up and use my big old blundie steelcaps from work for a while?

    I would consider trainers or trail runners or approach shoes in the mean time. Lightweight and more affordable. Some good deals around at the moment.

    I run a pair of Grisport hikers from time to time when I don't want to wear my stiffer Salewa Rapace boots.

    The Grisports are around a $100 at H&F and are actually very comfortable and good value.

    Salamon quest gortex mid cut from Anaconda if in NZ.

    You’ll find you’ll use them for a long time. Often under 200 on sale.

    Get on trade me. I’ve bought heaps of pairs of good boots off there over the years. People buy good boots wear them a couple of times, hurt their poor little tender feet and sell them half price. I’ve got garmonts and a half dozen pairs of sportiva makalus’ which I don’t think they make anymore. Great work boots. Last pair I got were half worn sportiva Nepal evo gtx for $200. Usually around $1100 in the shops.

    Put your size up....... someone on here is bound to have a cheap or free pair sitting around doing nothing that'll get you through to more fiscal times.
