Zamberlan 996 Vioz GTX Wide Fit Walking Boots - Dark Grey

This is my second pair of these. The first pair lasted a decade and took me to some amazing places, across (& up & down) all sorts of terrain. They were comfy right up to the end.

The quality of manufacture is excellent. Good leather, great sole and extremely comfortable on the foot.
My preference on the design is not to have the boot so high above the ankle. If you lace up to the top, the boot rubs on the lower leg making it sore. If you lace one hole down the boot tends to gape at the top.
The three mm laces are too thin to tie easily. The laces should also be non slip. 5 mm laces would be better.
Overall the comfort outweighs any criticism and I am pleased with my purchase.

A truly excellent experience, exceptional customer service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, nothing is too much trouble, it’s so rare to find these days, thank you and keep up the good work! Boots are fantastic too, cheaper than anywhere else I have found.

I love these boots!
These are my second pair of Zamberlan.
My first, lasted me over 20 months.
& that's 20 months of wearing them for 8/9 hours a day, 5/6 days a week, outside in all weather, cleaning windows.
In fact, my old pair are still waterproof, but do need to be re-soled.
Yes, they're expensive, but they have lasted twice as long, as any other boot I've tried, & I've been cleaning windows, for nearly 25 years. That's a lot of boots!!
These Zamberlan's just keep going!
So comfortable. Even from the first time you put them on.
I would definitely recommend these, 100%.

I paid for these boots on 16th September
and thought them beautifully constructed.Unfortunately they were far to big so l returned them for a size 43.Hill and Dale arranged the return,and l think the courier must have walked there from Blyth as it took a week for them to arrive at Hill and Dale.Size 43 had to be ordered from their stockist and l am still waiting........frustrating!However,in my communications with Hill and Dale the staff have been most polite and pleasant!
