Not sure of quantities or sizes still available, Tackle Tavern are advertising discounted boots due to cosmetic imperfections only.

Maybe worth a look for anyone in the market atm.

Has anyone got these boots?

If so are they lightweight or quite heavy?

Cheers

I've recently got them, not had chance to use them yet though, but tried them on and seem light enough, certainly lighter than my Skeetex Field boots.

Cheers,

Would you say they are true to size or get a size up?

Had them a few months.
I take size 10 and that's what I got and true to size.
For a winter boot fairly light. No problems walking in them and have driven home in them when I forgot to swap back to trainers.
Decent quality and have kept my feet warm.

Are these a rubber boot or the ulta lightweight EVA material?

Browns angling in Leighton Buzzard have them as well. Although they are seconds, I can't say the imperfection would bother me. Basically you could see a bit of a smudge of glue. That was it. I can't remember the exact price but I think they were about £50

Are these as warm as the Skeetex? They are the benchmark for warm wellies aren't they?

I ordered a pair from Tackle Addicts in Tamworth they turned up yesterday they say on the advert some cosmetic defects but they look fine to me.

I know these boots are based on the Baffin trapper boots which I have used in the past which are brilliant in the cold.

I have a few mates who bought the fortis boots last year at £100 and swear by them as the warmest boot they have used.

I also ordered a pair from tackle tavern . Arrived very quickly and as already mentioned looked very good to me . Very difficult to see the issues and within 10 mins of being on the bank they'll be covered in mud anyway - good buy for the money 🤞

Taken the plunge myself now, most places were out of a size 11 but found some at CPS Tackle. Looking forward to trying them 👍

Cheers, I just saw a review which mentioned their boots had cracked after only a few months use which put me off!
