Re: Boots for £100-180? Which ones?
Haix protector pro's, never had any problems and very comfortable.
I would wait for the shows and have a good look around, chat with folks that know but bare in mind they are selling them so may try to fill you full of B S if they make more money on one brand than another. You hold the cash

Haix protector pro's
Great boots, must be on my 10th pair, like wearing my slippers to work and generally get 12 months out of a pair
