Slimbridge Merrick Hill Walking Boots

Well....they have split along the sole...split along the outer toe crease....and worn away on the inner inside heel area. BUT it took 360 miles over 2 months of multi terrain (mainly paths) to do so! Miles per £ these are excellent value and beat my previous Merrells and Berghaus that only lasted about 1200miles for over £100! They are very light...with a firm heel and little or no foot slippage on the downhills. They are not waterproof but I did spray them when I bought them that has kept the water out through most of their use. If you suffer low arches / plantar problems you might want to look at getting insoles as there is very little arch support. Yes they are cheap...but I'm happy because I feel I certainly got my mileage out of them and they are a light and warm comfy boot. I think these would perfectly suit a light walker on grass / trail surfaces over the summer months. They would not stand up well to rough terrain such as fell walking.

Clearly, there are better boots out there but for the price, these are very impressive so far. They’re comfortable to wear & water-resistant - though I’ve always worn my leather boots in really bad weather. The sole worries me a bit; it’s a very rigid plastic-type & over time, I imagine it’ll crack - but I hope I’m wrong.Value & service clinched the five stars - ordered Saturday, received Monday and all for £14.99 (with £4.99 probably going on postage).

Lovely boot, very nice though stitching is not as good as I had hoped, only after a few, less than 5 used I put it on to find the back top bit at the opening like in line with the heel but where you put your foot in the stitching that bound two bits of separate material had split, which is clearly not how it is supposed to be designed, will post picture soon. Though company Is good and contacted me to check I had recieved it in a adequate condition, of which I held off on my review in the possibility of this very issue.

A bit cheap feeling to be honest with the bottom of the tongue digging, but they were cheap so hey hoI will just wear an extra pair of sock for cushioning as they are pleasently a decent size 12 normaly buying from internet you get them like an 11 as theyAre now EU sizes and pamned off as UK. I got size 13 scetcher look a likes from groupon they went on with no socks!!

Taking the positives into equation - these boots are very cheap and initially quite good. I found the grip on these to be brilliant when walking through snow and ice, in fact I have never felt so secure in any other footwear.Now to the negatives, after ordering two pairs during an offer, both pair only lasted around 4 to 5 weeks of moderate use before they failed.Using these daily for a 1 hour, 3 mile walk around the countryside, I noticed the weakest point is the sole. All four boots split across the ball of the foot and within days of this happening I ended up with thick mud in my boots, ruining my socks.Lesson learned, you buy cheap you really can't expect much and I certainly won't be buying these again..... ever!

Cheap pair of boots but they have outlasted a more expensive pair, so good value

Ok. I admit it. I don't review what I've ordered... usually. So I find myself here as a very happy customer. The boots are very very nice. I do a fair bit of walking with the mutt and needed a new pair. Being a tight git I thought I'd give these a go.... They arrived overnight (love prime) and I set about waterproofing them with some spray. Left them overnight to do its thing then bang.... straight on and out. The mutt was delighted. My feet cried as they realised these were comfortable from the get go. Carpet slipper comfort indeed. So anyway mutt and I went wondering over the fields. Hours we walked. Long enough for Mrs me to cook a roast. Thanks the wife. I took the boots off. No blisters. Still in one piece and ready for the next adventure. In short. Get some. Worth the money twice over.

good fit , its a make I will remember because these days just because your feet are certain it doesnt allways mean they will fit? well at least this company has good quality control , the boots are comfortable and cheap, I was desperate for some footware and did not have much money so I m very happy.
