Budget waterproof boots - help?

I'm looking for a waterproof boot, but I'm on a budget.

I was hoping to score a pair of Pro Boots - as worn and approved by
the ginger pixie. They seem to be as rare as hen's teeth in my size
(12).

Though the Pro Boot is expensive (to me), They would be worth buying,
as I could get away with wearing them in the office.

I have seen similar boots - Lowa, and the like, but have been unable
to find any reviews, so may avoid.

The end result is that I find myself in the situation of looking for
an inexpensive boot, preferably waterproof, if such an animal exists.
I can use the spare cash to get some shoes to keep at the office.

Anyone have any recommendations, under £100 and preferably not more
than £75, if possible?

I am fully aware of the "get what you pay for" POV.

Lozzo, do Nitro do anything to suit?

TIA

Why not just buy some waterproof overboots?

If you insist on waterproof boots then you won't go far wrong with
SIDI black rain

 

Fr Jack says...

You'll be lucky to find anything worth buying at that sort of price. I
doubt there are any good quality guaranteed waterproof bike boots under
150 quid.

Not guaranteed waterproof, though all of them do hold up reasonably well
from what I'm told. Try looking at Swift and Akito boots. Both are
reasonably priced and some have waterproofing guaranteed. As you've
proabably guessed by now, they are made by the same people.

He's northern - wouldn't be seen dead in M&S bags ;-)

When I had those god-awful Dainese piece of shit boots that I used to
wear, I used the carrier bags *inside* the boots. Please don't tell me
the big northern fairy put them over the outside of his boots.

 

I just bought a pair of good walking boots from Millets, Goretex liner,
completely waterproof, reasonably warm (but cold feet have never been a
problem for me) and they cost about £60/- I'm pretty sure they'd do quite
well in an off but I haven't tested that yet and I'm trying not to.

 

Only afford one, eh?

 

What about a pair of Sealskinz goretex socks?

I think the dearest I've ever seen them is £25 and I know you can get
them cheaper than that.

 

Apart from the 4 pairs I had in under 3 years or so that all leaked
within 6 months.

 

Which big northern fairy. IIRC, SH is from somewhere around these regions as
well....

Occasionally, I'll be consistent

 

Did you seal them correctly?

 

Well, I balanced them on my nose. Maybe that's where I went wrong...

Arr, arr
