The other boots I have been looking at are Columbia Bugabootoo's (sort of half welly / half hiking boot) - are these any good? They are rated to - 32C, so I know they should be warm enough.

Question is, will they be too warm?
A bit more info, I'm looking for boots which will be hard wearing, warm and waterproof as I do field archery - my ATF Deltas are not at all warm - a typical days shooting involves a lot of standing around. However ,I'd like something which is also suitable for hill walking..

Probably not much help, but I once bought a pair of boots from Millets which were made of fairly supple plastic with high leather uppers and were lined with fibre pile. Very warm and great for walking through small streams and even standing in puddles.
They were quite cheap too, but only lasted for a year or two before the plastic started cracking. I should have bought a few pairs. I think they were a one off thing, I've never seen them on sale since.
But you never know, there might be something similar somewhere.

I think I've settled on a pair of boots - Trezeta Lecco boots, leather with goretex lining, £84 from Sports Warehouse in Edinburgh. Accordign to their website they stock them in size 13...
Look a good pair of boots - but I haven't really heard of that brand name. Anyone any experience?
