Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I’m sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?
Cheers!

You can often find them for less on ebay, I think they are current UK military issue.
I personally wear the “sneeker” series.
I’ve heard lots of good things about altberg. Not got direct experience, but if I were buying walking boots, this is where I’d go
Glad to see Altberg mentioned. I haven’t owned any of these yet, but the fact you can visit their factory and get fitted for a specific size says a lot. Next time I’m up North I’ll pay them a visit to get sized.
My current boots are Mammut GTX and I had 10 years of good use from them. Very durable. But I don’t think they make them anymore and they’re overkill for the walking I do now.
