Ok, why would i not recommend these boots. Having had the boots professionaly fitted to my feet, I was sure that my right foot was lifting at the heel. I was assured that it wasn't and I took that advice. Now having used the boots for breaking in, over the previous bad snow and icey conditions, ideal, i stilll feel that my feet are lifting at the heel.The grip of the soles in the recent conditions is abissmal. I asked the supplier if the boots where ok in wet conditions, and the reply was well you need to be careful!!!! Geeee, walking home tonight in slight frost, the pavements where like walking on ice in parts and thats just frost. I had better grip in the bad conditionds from a pair of cheap Hi Tec boots than i had from these Fremlingtons!!!! Hope the grip improves with some wear but is that wishful thinking. My wife also bought a pair at the same time and she is also in total aggrement with me on the quality of grip in anything but dry conditions. The boots may look nice, feel nice, but what good are they if in wet conditionds you don't feel safe. Sorry Alt Berg, the sole needs to be better than they are at this moment in time. Yes Alt Berg have a goood repair services, etc, etc, but not much good if they fit the same soles. My kERRYMORE ksb sixty quid boots have never felt so unsafe in the last FOUR years of wear.
So, nice boot, good fit and warm but a terrible grip on anything but dry.
So overall one star purly because of poor grip, after all why pay over £120 for a pair of boots you can't trust, look for some others or buy crampons!!!!!
