I spent today hobbling awkwardly round a park trying to keep boggy water from seeping through the hole in my boot. I need new boots before I develop trench foot.

Budget - £70ish

Colour - brown

Heel - flat or maybe wedge.

Poster with best suggestion gets...erm.. ...a sip of my tea.

Damn just checked and their sale has finished so perhaps no fab bargains but I will have a look around for you.

Aha - I have an almost identical pair! They are lovely, but you're right - not suitable for parks around.

Need tramping boots.

I hate schuh website, there is a way to link to it direct but I don't know how. I search and guess hang on.

Buckles are fine. In fact buckles are a desirable feature IMO.

I do like a squarer toe though. Wish I could find examples...

Fly ones are cool I agree. So what are you hoping to spend? Boots can be a bit stupid expensive.
