Another set of hiking boots for comparison

For comparison to the Mountain Warehouse boots described yesterday, the pair above have been worn over the same six month period, and used for a similar amount of distance, but are also around 30 years old, not that they have been used continuously over that time. They are unbranded (marked foreign import on the sole only), have leather uppers, and although not quite as comfortable, they have not broken - the only damage is at the end of one of the laces where the metal retainer came off. Where I purchased them and for how much is lost to the mists of time, but they were certainly nowhere near as expensive as the Mountain Warehouse ones. They are a decent, hard-wearing pair of boots, and are showing the signs of wear you would expect, with some scuffing, and a little wearing away of the sole at the rear of the boot. They will easily outlast the Mountain Warehouse boots.
