Thanks all. Use would be mostly dog walks, 3 to 10 miles or so, in often very wet and muddy terrain. So would usually want gore tex, and a grippy sole. Occasional proper hike up a Brecon Beacon or similar but rarely

I overpronate badly and have issues with plantar fascitis so generally think more structure/support is better

Most recent pair were some Merrel MOAB Gore Tex, picked up in the sales and which are meant to be good but are falling apart after not much use

obviously this is a personal hobby horse for me, i don't think that goretex is necessary to make boots or shoes reasonably waterproof. good quality leather with suitable wax, sown in tongue, welted sole, will keep water out in averagely wet conditions.

for me, goretex is just boil in the bag for feet.

Any other recommended models that do this, and aren't quite as pricey as the meindls?
