You still after a pair even though 2 people have said they fall off your feet sharpish.

 

Stuart Sports - 015394 43001 - They had quite a few pairs of Crestas in in September when I got mine. Might be worth a call.

 

Nod also said he may be getting some in November. I havent spoken to him about them recently though.

 

Hope this helps.

If you can find the older model, snap em up!! Without doubt the most comfortable boot I've used-even thenew ones with dodgy eyelets are really comfortable. I'm going to replace Te eyelets with hollow rivets and run the laces through them. It may work..

I use mine for shooting as well Rich.

 

Light grey won't go with my tweed.

[Rich Rule]

It'll go better with Tweed than the mustard, baby poo colour of your Crodas.

Ewans knackered Salewas are a different type to the ones in Daks pic. I believe they are a lighter model.

 

Fair bit cheaper than the Crestas as well.

[Rich Rule]

did a search but not sure they are coming up with the right ones. I found them for 150 but it says trainer in the description.

 

That is 5 quid more than he Crestas.

 

Being a tight ersed Northerner, I went for the Crestas at 145.

 

Edit: there you go mate.

Those Salewas were really comfy but more of a trainer bot as though as the ones drew had I'm waiting for a set of crestas from nod too

Sorry mark, not checked AT for a few days, i got mine from zoolando.co.uk.

 

Ive had no issues with mine, no snapped eyelets and ive had mine on everyday since i got them, maybe im just more carefull than geoff an drew!

[Mark Bolam]

Thanks Dak, I've since sourced plenty of suppliers and can get them for £115 - £120.

 

I think Ewans were a different, lighter boot (Alp trainer), rather than your MS MTN Trainer MID GTX maybe explaining longevity issues. They have less bloody letters on the back of boy racer cars eh!

 

How do they size up?

 

I'm a EU42/UK 8.5 in AKUs, but a 9 generally, and choices seem to be round no's only.

 

I think the Crestas will be great as well, but fancy a change and these look awesome!
