I have a very energetic dog so I do a lot of walking, around 30 - 35 miles a week, in all weathers. I need footwear that will stand up to this. I really don't like having to put on boots that are wet inside from a previous days walk.
I have needed to return 2 pairs of sub £60 boots from other manufacturers prior to these Grisports because they were not waterproof (despite claiming that they were) I get really annoyed when a boot becomes waterlogged after a few minutes walking through wet grass when it is claimed to be waterproof. I contacted one of the makers, a top brand name, and they told me that they could not guarantee that the tongue would be waterproof - therefore neither was the boot!!
So far (100 miles or so) these Grisports have performed faultlessly. I stood in a stream for a few minutes up to my ankles to clean mud off them and they were fine. The water just ran off with no tongue leaks. I have walked through plenty of long wet grass again with no problems. The soles are very rugged yet supprisingly soft, offering excellent grip, even on wet stone/rocks etc. They were comfortable from the start and even more so now after some miles under them. They are also very light weight. I feel I could almost go jogging in them. In fact I do jog short spells with my dog now and again during walks and they are great.
Highly recommended, great value for money.
