They look really good and at less than half price a very good investment. You cant go wrong for that price and free delivery too. The reviews on Amazon are pretty good too so I say "Go for it" and Happy Walking

Whilst Go Outdoors tends to provoke a bit of "you either love 'em, or hate 'em", you can always find a fairly decent pair of boots at their stores (at a fairly decent price).

I'd personally never buy unfamiliar boots online. You really do need to try them on and not just trust that your size will be a good fit.

Whilst it is a nightmare buying a decent pair of walking boots, I find Go a good place to start, with plent of choice over the price / quality range.

I can't imagine buying footwear of any kind, but least of all walking boots, on-line - even known and well-loved brands and models can differ from pair to pair.  I would never buy walking boots without having tried them on with the socks I wear with them. 

I'm on my third pair of Hi-Tec boots (destroyed 2 pairs wearing them whilst leading VI Form Marine Biology field trips - I challenge ANY make of boot to survive long completely immersed in sea-water!!).  I find them very comfortable and I've never had a problem with them leaking (having wet feet when you're standing knee-deep in a rock pool for 4 hours doesn't count!).

Be warned of buying Karrimor from Sports Direct as i believe the 2 companies are now affiliated in some way. I also understand that the heavily reduced Karrimor stock in Sports Direct are far from the quality that Karrimor sell thru more traditional outlets. Apparantly the Sports Direct range is specifically made (cheaply) for selling at heavily discounted price.

For the record i had a pair of Karrimor KSB300 Event boots that cost in region of £90 a few years ago & were excellent for a couple years but since let water in.
