These shoes fit perfectly for me and have good grips even on slippery trail after rain. And looks stylish too.
After 11 days trek in Nepal from Lukla to Dingboche (snow-free trails), the boots are comfortable, no hotspots, no blisters, perfect for the trail. Thanks to good fitting. No damages, grippy soles, laces are fine. Highly recommended but proper fitting is essential.
Comfortable but not waterproof!
I bought these for my wife after trying other brands. The key attraction was the waterproof factor. They are NOT waterproof and have met in water just walking in wet grass. You can see from plenty of other reviews here that this is an issue so if you really need waterproof boots I wouldn’t recommend these.
First impressions of these boots were very good. They were immediately comfortable and needed no breaking in however; the first walk my wife did in them was only about 7 miles in average conditions on wet gravel and grassy terrain with a little mud. After 2 hours her socks and feet were very damp. We returned them and the purchase was refunded with no fuss. Good boots but not for wet weather.
It's a shame they aren't great when it comes to water! They are very comfortable and the only pair of boots I own that I can fit my insoles in. Went out in the rain yesterday and they are still soaked today. This was a lot of money for me to spend on boots and now I can't wear them. Very disappointed.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to review our MH500 Mid Walking Boots.
I'm sorry to hear that you found these boots to leak water. They should be fully waterproof and we carry out testing to ensure that they are.
However in some cases there can be a manufacturing defect, which sounds like the case here. I would encourage you to pop in to your nearest store where I'm sure that they can find a solution for you.
Thanks again for your feedback.

I bought a these in store in Oxford in July and received excellent guidance on the merits
of different boots. I bought the MH500, wore them in over 2 weeks and then walked 100 miles over 6 days, using Decathlon socks. Not a blister until the last 4 miles, despite my feet being soaked. These boots were not water proof, which is why I bought them. I returned them to Oxford, and saw the same assistant, and received a replacement pair. Yesterday was the 1st outing in the rain, only an hour and again my socks are wet. I'm so disappointed, these are the most comfortable boots in 35 years, but they leak.
I bought these today and went out a walk in the rain and after 10 mins my feet were wet.
They are comfortable and grippy, but not waterproof.
These are really comfy and great for woodland trails and for walking on tarmac, but only the left boot was waterproof. They are now all muddy after I have worn them 4 times in one week, so wonder what the customer service will be like when I attempt to return in store (Glasgow). I will wash and dry them as far as I can and would be happy with an exchange to try again to see if there was a fault in the right boot. However, if the 2nd pair has same issues I will want a refund. I really want these boots to be waterproof as they really are inexpensive, comfortable and also give light ankle support, which is perfect for everyday walking in mixed terrain. I had to buy a size up to accommodate my wider than standard foot width (usually E/F when measured) when worn with merino wool hiking socks. I would usually be a 39 for walking boots, but had to buy size 40 in these as the 39 felt narrow. I have to give only 2 stars for waterproof issue, but would give 5 for comfort. p.s. I don't think they'd be great for hill-walking on scree as I could feel stones through the sole, which doesn't bother me on local short walks, but would not work for more strenuous and longer walking up Scottish hills. They would be ideal for walking to work and walking dog etc, but only if the waterproofing actually works.
Look, maybe my expectations are too high but I wore these pretty much continuously for a couple of months and they never quite broke in. Maybe the shape of my foot is wrong for them (I have fairly high arches) but definitely recommend spending some time in them before committing to them for a big trip. Putting that I won't recommend but YMMV of course.
