I Note Kinky boots boot weights are quoted per boot.
It just shows how out of touch you are with modern full leather boots. I'm glad to report that the days of the 70's and 80's when extremely heavy boots were the only boots of any kind available and the leather needed weeks or months of gradual breaking in or they crippled you are long gone.
To the best of my knowledge the weights I quote for Altberg boots are always weight per pair. Men's weight in UK Size 9 and Women's weight in UK Size 6.As I posted earlier if your main priority is to have waterproof boots (even when the waterproof liner is damaged/punctured) which will last 5+ years you can't beat full leather boots provided you are willing to look after the leather.
By comparison leather/fabric combination boots can only be expected to last a maximum of between 6 - 24 months before they will need replacing and because of the way they're constructed the vast majority of leather/fabric combination boots cannot be resoled whilst the vast majority of full leather boots can. Some people accept this and are happy to accept the weight saving of leather/fabric combination boots and replace their boots frequently whilst others are not. If you want best value for money full leather is the way to go.
Lightweight leather/fabric combination boots do have their place in the market but it's not for regular wet weather walking on difficult terrain. The problem with all of them is that the waterproof liner will fail at some point rendering the boots totally useless for all wet weather walking. The small panels, large amount of stitching and lack of abrasion resistant fabric on them is their achilles heel. That waterproof liner failure can happen as little as 6 months or even earlier from the date of purchase.
@Kinkyboots. First of all thanks for your recommendation at the end of what I would call a attack on me. You say I had not took anyone's advice for your information I asked on few forums looked at many reviews watched many videos. Spoke personally to prople that do hill walking. Spoke to 4 different people that own Salamon boots my son in law has had HAIX desert boots for 4 years and still loves them. I am at the moment thinking towards spring and summer as we are as far as I am concerned half way through winter and don't fancy warm Leather boots for Spring and Summer. If it works out I have already said to Wife we could buy leather boots for Autumn and Winter nearer end of year. I appreciate your love for Leather but no need to go off on one especially you hadn't even replied before I said what I had bought. I was only trying to do the right thing as fa's as I was concerned letting people know rather than looking up links to send me and me essentially wasting their time.
To everyone else thanks for your comments. Just never seen anyone do this on any forum I have been part of.
I'm sorry you think it was an attack on you it was not meant to be. It was simply my personal opinion and advice on your boot choices given your original specification which you are free to take on board or to ignore along with the rest. I hope your boot choices work out for your intended use.
It's no excuse but please understand and appreciate that this forum does seem to get more than it's fair share of one-post wonders, time wasters and spammers which is why I didn't want to waste my time replying before your second post.
