Airstreams leaking

[swinny]

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

 

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!

Thats rubbish. i was looking to get a pair as my next boots.

[Joe Loggs]

Iv had 3 pairs and not one of mine has leaked. Think you got a dodgy one mate.

[Peter]

That's not right, you should contact the company you bought them from and give them an opportunity to sort it out.

 

I'm on my second pair and they are great.

[Tommy_B]

My pair are nearly year old and are great. I'd agree with Peter, contact who you got them from and explain. They are good boots.

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.

Yeah, i'm going to send them back, if it takes so long i'll be playing pop!

Mine are nearly 2 years old and never had an issue.

Got some myself and not had a problem with em. Taken them up to the limit with water depth and still had dry feet

Four years + old and just the first signs of a slight leak if I stand in water too long but it's only a drop not a gush.
