Didn't last long

I bought a pair of Gelert Horizon hiking boots in 2018 after an ankle injury to ensure that I do not sprain that ankle again. It was very reasonably priced and it was comfortable once i added an insole. I made a few hikes in 2019 (maybe 5 times) but in 2020 I could not do any hikes due to Covid. In 2021 i went for a short hike and the entire sole came loose on BOTH sides. Wore it less than 10 times.

Low price but a waste of money

I bought a pair of waterproof walking shoes. After 3 weeks of wear both soles have worn through and are now letting in water. They are horrendously uncomfortable and have not worn in. I took a risk not buying from one of the bigger brands. It didn’t pay off. The shoes were cheap but unwearable.- waste of money .

I bought a pair of Gelert walking shoes…

I bought a pair of Gelert walking shoes that were advertised as waterproof. I was pleased to find out that the uppers were indeed waterproof after some walking in wet grassy fields this summer. However, the soles are paper thin and I can feel every sharp stone underneath. Furthermore, the sole has now started to part company with the rest of the shoes so I have had to glue it down. This should not have happened as the shoes are only 4 months old and have been used on less than ten occasions. I will not be buying this poor quality brand again.

Summer Long
Excessive leg length

I purchased a pair of ladies waterproof trousers size 8 - the waist is on the large size but elastic so that is fine. But the sizing otherwise is way off - the crotch is very low and the leg length is about 8 inches too long for me. I am 5’5” so am used to leg length of trousers sometimes being too long for me, but these would be too long for a 6 foot lady.

Trust Gelert for comfort and value!

I bought my Gelert walking shoes last summer for £20.00 from Sports Direct and can't believe how comfortable they are. From the off, they never gave me blisters. They are stylish and brilliant value for money. I highly recommend their waterproof shoes, as even in rain and snow, they have been the best value for money shoes I have ever worn.Thank you Gelert for a worthwhile experience!Michelle Moore.

Returning Gelert Boots To Sports Direct

I've just purchased a pair of Gelert Soft Shell Waterproof boots from Sports Direct. I had to buy new laces at the store as the Gelert ones were too short, you couldn't even make a bow out of them. I came here to look at reviews and none of them are favourable. I will be returning these boots tomorrow as I need good, reliable waterproof boots and these seem to be none of those things.

Gelert 4 man tent

I've been camping for over 20 years and I've been putting all types of tents up. I tried to put a Chinook 4 man tent up and it was a nightmare. The instructions were possible. When you buy a £200 tent you expect the brand to spend 5 cents to have decent instructions. I will never buy from them again. Useless! Avoid at all costs!!!

Comfortable but the sole wore off mine in 40km or less. Would not recommend

Horizon Crap

Initially thought my Horizon boots were a good deal at £30 but worn 4 times now and they are falling apart and leaking.. there is a "waterproof" label on the side! Don't believe it... I wish I hadn't bought these and not binned my old Salomon. I know I'll be wasting my time back at SD.. No box or receipt.

Don’t buy Gelert

Like many others my Gelert walking boots looked good and were comfortable. But one shoe squeeked a lot when walking, and recently the glue between the sole and upper started to come apart, so they’re no longer waterproof. I contacted the manufacturer and they said I had to take it back to the store. I took it back to the Brent Cross store today and was told off for not bringing it back sooner (despite the store being closed for lockdown). Apparently they’ve been open a month and because I’ve just found time to take it in, it’s an issue. Anyway, they gave me a credit note and I have bought a different brand so hopefully it’s better quality.Looks like Gelert is SportsDirects own brand. My advice to them is build better quality boots so customers don’t have issues, instead of doing me a ‘favour’ by allowing me to return faulty boots which are covered by the manufacturers warranty!
