I had a pair of Brasher Hill Master boots that lasted about 6 years. When they died, I replaced them with another pair. After 10 months, I found I was walking over on them, so I decided to treat my self to a different make of boot.
After trying on about 6 different boots at Foothills in Sheffield (excellent independant outdoor shop by the way), I decided on the Vermont Pro's.
They are quite a stiff leather boot and have taken a good 80+ miles to break in. I have not had any blisters, just a few aches and pains. But they are now really comfortable and the boots are exceptionally well made.
I would therefore given them a 5 star rating.
