Gutted my airstream boots, purchased at the arb fair just a few weeks back have given me a wet foot today :thumbdown:

 

All i was doing was being on top of a conifer hedge trimming.

 

I've even been nice to these boots and trying to conserve them by using old knackered boots for stump grinding etc.

 

There was a small nick in the red bit on the front toe end on the boot when i got them but it's just cosmetic so wasn't bothered.

 

Deffinetly wet, not sweat! only left foot squelshing...

 

Gutted :(

 

How waterproof are these supposed to be? theyre gortex!

I had the same problem with my first pair - sent them back to the supplier, who sent them back to Meindl who said something along the lines of 'oh yeah. They're not waterproof at all...ummm....sorry' And sent me a new pair. But it did take a good few weeks...

 

Worth it in the end, mind, the replacement pair were/are totally waterproof and good boots.
