I know where I can get them for £127,
I'd buy them for that price. I have a pair for about 5 to 8 years. They are a good boot but I'd say not waterproof due to all the stitching. I agree with everything NeilC says above.
I want comfortable and waterproof boots
I have three pairs of boots: Lowa Renegade, Lowa Stirling and Altberg Tethera. All are comfortable; only the Stirling and Tetheras are waterproof.
I use the Renegades in dry weather or if I walk on stoned roads, forest tracks or green roads.
60% to 70% of my walking is on wet peat bogs and mountains. For that I use the full grain Stirlings or Tetheras. I alternate between the Stirlings and Tetheras every month or so to allow waxing to fully soak in.
The extra ankle support of full grain leather on steep ascents /descents is also worth considering. If you don't mind the extra weight, the heavier boots are just as comfortable as the Renegades.
I've always found that my big toe wears a hole through the waterproof lining very quickly. The full grain leather boots have always stayed waterproof.
