Just bought a pair of £105 'Meindl Maine' walking boots (I thought) but having worn them for a few days I notice inside the tongue they're marked 'Cat. A' which according to manufacturer's booklet are suitable for 'everyday & leisure use.'
Rather naively I didn't realize there were so many different grades of boot.
Prior to this I've always used Hi Tech leather boots from Milletts (£50) which I've been happy with but I fancied something lighter as they can feel a bit cumbersome on rock.
I'm going to Switzerland shortly (Eiger Trail) and am now worried these are too light.
If anyone has experience of these, I would be grateful for their comments.
Many thanks
