Grisport Boot Review in Yorkshire Dales 

...well, they do have some glorious countryside (but I'll not tell 'em that)

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 Ha ha, so do the Lancastrians.

@@alchemy3264 We do, we do.. but we are more reserved in our appreciation of it.

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 Ha ha, when I lived in Yorkshire and met Lancashire people who lived there, they did not seem so reserved then. I joke. It must be annoying since the change in the boundaries as you lost part of the Lakes and Yorkshire lost Dentdale, to the Cumbrians!

@@alchemy3264 The change in the boundaries was only for administrative areas. The true County boundaries still exist and are recognised by the Post Office. There is an organisation called Friends of Real Lancashire and they go into a detailed explanation of how The Local Government Act of 1974 didn't change the long standing, historic borders. Try and find "Greater Manchester" boundary signs on a road, or even the boundary on an OS map - it's not there. In essence it hasn't existed since the abolition of the GM Council back in 1986. It has been out of existence longer than it was in existence and people still assume it to be a "County". It's a bizarre situation.

Hi Brian, and thanks for the comment. WouId I buy another pair? I would, yes. They have proved to be very robust and hard-wearing, and even now still look great when cleaned and re-waxed. I use them with a pair of "aftermarket" insoles I took from my Scarpa 4 Season boots, and they are very comfortable indeed. I'm off to the Isle of Skye in the next few days for a week of landscape photography, and space is limited on what I can take - these are boots will be the only item of footwear I'm taking - I don't need anything else. I will be wearing them for over 16 hours a day, and on the mountains, on the beaches and for general knocking about. They are like an old friend!! 😁

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 Many thanks for your detailed reply .. about your 'old friends' I only recently learnt about Grisport and was surprisd to learn their HQ is at Cramlington, only about 10 miles from where I live. Luckily my wife goes to Cramlington every so often for her eye check and we are going today. I'll pop into the Grisport shop and take a look and try a few pairs on. Sadly though, I might buy them later online, as for some strangre reason, they are cheaper from 3rd party stores than from the shop and website of Grisport. Sometimes there are free socks, so will see what's best; just have to try them on for size first. Regards from Whitley Bay

@@brianmorrison9168 Good luck Brian! I always find it difficult to make a choice with boots, so I hope you find something suitable. A nice part of the world you live in too! So many photographic opportunities up there. 👍

A remake?? Hmmm.. I may do. Great boots too.. I still have them, and tend to wear them all the time when out doing landscape photography. As I noted to Clive earlier, I don't tend to post much stuff on RU-vid... whilst I enjoy video editing, my current view is that it's just too time consuming with too little reward - and work just gets in the way. Thanks for taking the time out to comment, very much appreciated. 👍🏻👍🏻

CliveI How the bloody hell are you? I did mean to come back and do a sequel to this, but never got around to it, as you can never properly judge a pair of boots until you've been out in them a few times and worn them in a bit. I still have them, and wear them regularly so must be reasonable. I did start out doing walking stuff on here as I'd been a keen hillwalker since the early 90's, but the photography got in the way of the walking stuff. Now, I just don't tend to bother posting on RU-vid - too much effort filming and editing for very little reward. I have a lot of half edited videos of photography trips that I'll probably never get around to posting up. Hope the birthday went well the other week. 👍🏻
