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.
Lace up gummies under $200 .Oliver work boots have great tread and are really light,might be worth a look?
I bought a pair of salomon boots from Kathmandu for under $200, real good, lasted ages until I could afford some fancy ones, Still use them now for trout fishing

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.
I must have got ripped, I paid $200 for my Grisport hikers, still good boots.

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

I've beaten the hell out of mine, comfy and durable.
Combat boots from army and outdoors
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.
