Walking boots - leather vs fabric
Hi guys, I’m looking to buy some walking boots and can’t decide on whether to get fabric or leather? I’d preferably want some that are waterproof-ish, and I would be looking to do most of my walking / hiking during summer (or just when it’s not absolutely pouring down in rain) Can you guys recommend any and if so why?…
