Thread: Tall Boots

Dunno why, but I hate gators, so I'm looking at boots to cover grungy west coast swamp/stream crossing plus wet tussock in canty high country. Something high enough to keep the worst of the wet out. I'd wear gumboots but my feet are well trashed from decades as a tradie and I need more support than they offer.

So far my list is:

Grisport urewera/kaikoura - good price, folks here recommended their hikers as cheap temp boots after my old ones fell apart.
Crispi titan- I know crispi has a good rep, but the moths are holding my wallet shut looking at that price
Irish setter elk tracker- mostly my boots die when the sole gets shredded by scrabbling up and down over bedrock. So something that's designed to have the sole replaced seems like a good idea, I just dont know anyone in nz that's tried these

I know boots are a really individual thing, but anyone got any feedback on any of the above, or anything I might have missed? I'm going to start trying some on to compare how they feel, but I'd also like to hear any feedback about how they hold out long term.
