Good trainers for dog walking

UKTigerlily

Probably in the wrong place but all the dog walkers are on this board so it'll probably be seen here! I need some walking boots/trainers/shoes that are good for when I walk the Dog & a good price, comfortable & waterproof would help! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, My OH and i have two Border Collies, and live in the countryside.
We both invested in a good pair of walking boots, waterproof, comfortable, and non slip for those icy mornings.

Try and find some karrimor thwy offer excellent value for money and somewhere normally has them on offer.

I find the mens exceptional value for money and fit me very well.

These might be better:-

I buy Hi Tec waterpoof walking shoes - they have a walking boot sole but more of a 'trainer' top - I think they are very comfy and you dont get wet feet from walking through long wet grass or landing in a puddle!!

Got my last pair from Tog 24 (I think) for about £25. This sort of thing -

A lot of people love these for dog walking - from cotton traders but I have never tried em!

I quite fancy a pair of the karrimor ones (2nd ones) hintza posted above - I have tried karrimor ones on before and they felt really comfy, but were not waterproof but I can see those ones are - makes a big difference to the enjoyment of walks IMHO!!

They really are good value for money. I have been hunting high and low for a replacement pair. Mine are hardly ever off my feet and if you want more of a boot the 300's are great too.

Do you have a TK Maxx? I've bought a few pair of walking boots from there, very cheap - including Timberland (£20ish?)

yeah, I have bought them from TK Maxx before, but often find it takes several visits before I find what I want in my size.. sometimes you hit lucky though!!

Look out for whether they are waterproof or not too - sometimes there are several versions of similar styles, and some are waterproof whilst others are not!

I just bought a pair like these, they keep your feet as warm as toast:A

That's where I get mine from too.

Another vote for TK Maxx, mum has just bought me a pair of dog walking boots from there as my xmas pressie. They were £50 and they're superb

They're quite unusual as they zip up the front rather than lace up.

Yep, I have a TX Maxx, well two. One in town & one in the village, i'll definitely have a look! Hintza - i'll be getting some of those, £22.50 is a good price & they look to be just what I want, I live in trainers too so maybe I can wear them 24/7 lollll dya think they'll be comfy in bed? Thanks all! I'll go to TKM & buy some Hintza trainers yay
