. . .think they've got the design wrong on this one - they look like the boots the Dr Bernardos kid with a leg calliper wore on those money collection statues outside corner shops back in the 80's. . .
There's only one all round fishing 'boot' IMO - my first pair lasted almost 20yrs - now onto my second . . .durable, comfortable, properly waterproof, lightweight and mega breathable - my feet smell less after fishing than when wearing fashion trainers . . .these are German engineering for feet

Wish I had known about this sooner, I've just splashed out £3.99 for a pair of neoprene beach shoes from Lidl's yesterday. One of my top choices for bankside footware, warm, waterproof unless you go paddling and no laces to come undone and quick to slip on or off.
Similar to the green Sundridge bivvy shoes that used to be the rage but without the carp tax.

I did for £29.99.
They are comfy and warm up too on a walk.
For those who are wondering, as I was. I buy shoe based on centimeter/mm size:
It's on the lip inside. If anyone has different sizes to share, please do as a size guide for these shoes is nowhere to be found on the internet.
UK8 - EU42 - 26.6cm
UK12 - EU47 - 30cm
I'd measure your longest foot with a thick sock and pick your size in a sale.
I guess they are out of production anyway as they are not on the korda website anymore.

Same here, I bought two pairs for that price. I like them.

11 months later, daily use (dog walks only 1-2 hours) but less in the summer months as it was dry and too warm, worn out on the heels, hollow soles and leaking as water is getting into the sole. There is still a profile on the heel. the cross in the centre of the heel opened up on both shoes.

Are Korda still making footwear?? Footwear is an absolute minefield for me. The amount I've had to return recently. Supposedly waterproof when there not. Soles wearing out over a mater of months with again supposedly high quality materials.
Not seen korda push any footwear recently so I assumed they stopped making them? The last ones I see were a Leather type walking boot. They also done a trainer high top style shoe as well.
Shoes don't like me... I'm just in the process of backing another pair.. they looked good, My feet weren't getting wet. It was to early on the wear side of things.. but the bloody things killed my ankle on my right foot.. I persevered for a while. But they didn't won't to show me no love back...

Have a look at Grisport, best boots I have owned. Comfy from day 1 and the current pair have lasted three years plus with daily dog walks in all sorts of weather. Also have a lighter pair for the summer.

I swear by Merrel MOAB but the Mrs sent me a link to some mid highs on offer, one look at the reviews put me off. People who've used the boots for years, serious walkers, all saying the same, leaked, fell apart etc, one person had theirs replaced 3 times until the original purchase warranty ran out.
Obviously materials aren't what they were due to environmental constraints (same for all boots) but it is making me a tad apprehensive, and I'm due a new pair soon!

To be fair I wear my Moabs 365, so they get far more use than weekend jaunts fishing 
Still swear by the shoes but haven't had any of the goretex ones or highs for a while now, just been using my Meindl walking boots, might get another pair of Goretex next year.
