Hiking/Walking boots recommendations
I have used the search facility and found some threads regarding this subject but they are a bit old.
Recently been looking to buy a decent pair of hiking/walking boots which are genuinely waterproof and offer good support.
Having waded through the dozens of "Which is the Best" etc I am still really none the wiser as they all recommend different boots.
I am a size 8 would like them to support/protect the ankle, are waterproof, good grip, brown in colour with a budget of approx £150.00
Please help me wade through the different brands such as Scarpa, Merrills, Timberland, Salomon and oh so many others.
Which brand do you prefer?
Thanks for your advice.

I have loads of boots, I rate altberg highly ( for me) and still do over AKU etc. Out on the hills though in my own time I was a scarpa fan, however the best do all shoe I have found is the la sportiva TX4. You can get them in a shoe, mid and full boot (tx5). Choice of gore tex and non waterproof too, I would recommend you try a pair if you have a retailer nearby or can return.
I would also say that depending on use, you may not need a full boot, all personal preference though.
It all depends on what your planned usage is.

If you need to climb uneven surface look for a good gripping sole
I went through all brands
Salomon
Crispi
Scarpa
Aigle
Redwing
Altberg - current pair
Harkila
They all have good models
Fit and grip is the key for hunting/ climbing plus waterproof ness for winter
Socks will need to be thick
