Is there anything safe from Carp Tax? £99.99 Korda Boots... considering a pair of Hi Tech or say, Columbia or Karrimor boots cost half that... I love the justification they give... designed to get on and off quickly - well all you do is loosen off the laces and any boot is easy to get on and off! Oh, according to Korda, most walking boots' laces come undone easily - really?! Can't say I have owned a pair of boots where that happened - maybe do them up properly? I wonder how waterproof they'll be? Hmmm... also, these are short boots, so at £100 a pop, are actually expensive and compete directly with boots from Merrell and Berghaus, both established brands I have boots in. The best bit of all? Korda saying their boots don't have a hefty price tag! You really couldn't make it up. Please, if you get tempted to buy these, just have a look on Amazon first, you'll save yourself lot of money and grief.

They kind of look like the old monkey boots from the 80's

£100 for a pair of decent boots really ain't that bad infact that's cheap, My timberlands cost me £180 a pair so don't think that's very bad at all tbh that is only if they are as good as they say, I won't be buying them I prefer my north face boots

I used to use Brasher,found out they have very poor grip and split on the bit that bends when you walk..

Then I discovered North West territory boots less than £50,and comfy..

I don't buy much stuff these days with carp tax,as most of my kit is from walking,Bushcraft,military sources,apart from rods,etc..

I'm sure the Korda boots are good, but ....!!

One of the best design features i've seen on fishing footwear is the "fold and fix tongue" as found on Fox Footwear.
A simple idea that works really well and makes it easy to step in and get your shoes/boots on quickly.
It doesn't look like Korda have thought about that one.

Your comparing timberland and north face with Korda Had the Korda original one feet where soaking wet in them just walking through grass wore 3 times got rid cheaply made rubbish Why do people think it's good to buy these Korda boots when there are so many top names out there that are experienced in making outdoor foot ware when are people going to wake up and smell the coffee it's all a RIP OFF stop feeding them then the price will go down to what it should be

Punctuation is your friend.

isn't.

Stick to the well known brands for footwear or you may as well head down to Brantano for a pair of boots.

In that case the Korda are a bargain.

She does do a nice quiche

Surely a hundred notes is nothing. It's not every day we get a chance to walk in Danny's shoes is it..

I'm holding out for the Korda Keks so I can cosset my Knutsack in Korda Komfort !!
