Leather boots

I found good socks help with blisters too. Thorlos socks are the bees knees, try a pair of those before you decide to chuck the boots! You can buy them Rebel and they come in all sorts of styles, I find heel padded hiking socks are great!

Yeah, on a serious note, go to RD1 (there is one in Albany behind the ale house). I bought some Skellerup workboot sox there last weekend and I am so stoked with them, they are thick where required and are really comfortable and no sore feet or blisters this week at all!!!! They also do gumboot sox as well.

also a good trick is to wear two pairs of socks .. a real thin pair & thicker pair .. then the outter socks will friction on the thiner pair rather than your skin ..

works a treat too (helps in stretching the boots too )
