This is the biggest thing for me in work footwear, they all seem to be slippy except for the Doc's. Magnums and Cat trainers are downright dangerous.norm wrote:wannabeek wrote: the tread was too soft meaning they wore out prematurely long before the rest of the boot.
I can't really disagree with the statement as I have no knowledge of these trial boots. Not me that said it tho, it was this dude wot said that the DM boots were not so hot.
I still love my old DM boots. Seems I'll have to treasure them more if they are irreplaceable.norm wrote:Yeah in pretty much every aspect. In my experience the old DM boots took ages to break in, they leaked badly even with copious amounts of dubbin. The collar at the back was too stiff on them which rubbed my achilles and the tread was too soft meaning they wore out prematurely long before the rest of the boot.wannabeek wrote:I love the old DM boots. Took forever to break in but now I finally have, they're the best I've ever had. Are these trial ones ones better in your opinion than the old DM boots?
These new boots feel durable but comfortable which is a great balance.
