I think the criticism re: the choice of colour is important. Some may disagree, but garish colours will put some off buying what maybe otherwise an excellent product. We dont need pretty colour boots to slosh about in mud and slime, we do need boots that last the test of time, do keep the water out and are all the things we need before flippant things like colour.

Nice boots, bet they cost a pretty penny though

No-one tell frank, he'll have them to go with his yellow jacket and trousers.

I was talking to the Tree Partner guys at the Arb Show earlier this year wearing my comfiest pair of old beaten and predominantly lime green skate trainers and a comment or two was passed about their garish / useful hi viz appearance...

 

maybe they werent the only ones to notice...

Your right, We dont need them to be bright or eyecatching, so long as they are comfortable, hard wearing and do what is asked of them. However, we are the end consumer of a product, the designers, manufacturers and retailers need their product to sell and having an eyecatching product can boost that.

 

For example, for many of us the trucks we drive around in have distinctive, unique and often eyecatching graphics which make our own or the company we are working for stand out, give us market presence and hopefully prominence in a customers mind in the hope that we become the preferred service provider to them, the end user.

 

I like them, but i totally understand that other people will loathe them based on the colour. BUT, if we just need them to be comfortable, protective and durable, then does it matter if they are putrid, Slimer from ghostbusters fame green? If the last day or so is anything to go by, they'll be brown and beaten up in not time at all!

they have the one key feature missing from my haix and that's the vibram sole,I have few pairs of vibram soled hiking boots and try as I may this suckers just don't wear down.If the waterproofings good then even better as my haix also leak like a biatch and they suck and I have fallen Out with haix now they are making shoddy boots nowadays .haha.
