Are you planning walking on snow/ice ? If not then i don't think you will need 4 season boots.

What boots you get depend on what type of walking you will be doing

Have you tried Alt-Berg ?

hi blacklagoon

i have a pair of peter storm walking boots which i originally bought  for hiking and they performed well, however we dont do much walking now due to working to many hours however my boots are never off my feet, i wear them all day every day, they are my work boots and my geans boots. i have had them for nearly 4 years now tread is still fine but the inner soles are getting holes now so i am about to look for a new pair, i will deffo go for peter storm again as they are gust so comfy and dont wear out. my family are like 'gill get some girly shoes' but girly shoes aren't comfy i like my hiking boots, and when i fell down a hole camping a couple of weeks ago im sure the padded ankle protection provented a broken ankle!!!!! (i didnt realize i could write so much about hiking boots .......... )

When you get going you could write pages on the bloomin' things.

off the subect slightly ..... no completely ...can i gust say that i can spell, however the alphabetical letter between i and k on my keyboard has died i therefore replace it with the letter 'g' .......anyway back to boots

stealthdog when i did a degree i had to write 3000 word essays on a subgect i didnt even understand ........ on here i could do a dissertation (10,000 words) on tents and comfortable footwear ........ i think we need rexgrant to start a new degree course on 'how to camp' and all on here can be lectureres ........... anyway back to boots.....

peter storm are for me

You sound like my OH who has just done a 12000 word one for her CIM post graduate dipoma 

As far as boots go i have a pair of Salomon mega trek 6 light which are unbelievably comfy even when first worn. I would like to get another pair next year though (not as a replacement but as a secondary pair)  but i would like leather ones. Better when its raining

actually the leather ones would become the summer ones ...... you get my drift

ooooh Scarpa

I would love a pair of ZG10 GTX

get somw nikwax nubuck proof and keeping them waterproof will be easy

nikwax newbuck & suede proof
