    I need to get new work boots. I have Trojan work boots and they served me well. Looking for the waterproof, steel toe boots and fair good ankle support for when I’m working in the quarry. Also have a pair of slip on Blundstone slip on boots and think their brilliant

    The thing l found with slip on footwear is that there's usually an elasticated section. The elastic inevitably stretches with time. Then the footwear starts slipping and they chaff the feet off ya.

    Another thing that's often overlooked is the socks. Just as important.

    Any of those pound shop or market socks are pure muck. You want something with high wool or cotton content. I'm no expert but some of the hillwalker crowd reckon you need to be spending €20 on a pair of socks.

    Used to have Smartwool socks. Bit more than the €20 but they’re not as good as they used to be.
