920 miles so far !

Have a pair of leather walking boots, bought Christmas 2019 but been wearing since October. Supposedly half-price at £32.99- but almost always seem to be around this price. Have mainly been used on pavement (occasionally farm tracks/grass) and have covered 920 miles- usually hope for 3p cost per mile, so 1100 miles looks possible but soles now thin, but not yet leaking. Good value, comfortable but I prefer 3/4 boots.

Agony after one walk. Deep lasting bruises

I was given a pair of gelert leather walking boots. The foot area fits fine, I left the high ankle cuff loose but laced. I'm a professional dog walker and cover 6-8 miles hiking daily.These boots destroyed my tendon and the sides of my leg after 3 miles. Not rubbed or blistered but deep bruising. Even after getting them off my feet it aches to flex or touch my ankle. I've been hiking the last 7 years daily, this is the first time I've suffered a boot related injury and I've gone through lots of boots over the years.These boots are not designed for women even in the small sizes.

Waterproof boots

Bought the waterproof boots from Sportsdirect for walking the dog. They are comfortable, but absolutely useless, not waterproof at all. Thankfully they weren't too expensive, but now I have to buy another pair.

Not at all waterpoof

I bought Gelert "Waterproof" walking boots from Sports Direct. They've been adequate for walking, but are not in any way waterproof... Despite having that printed on them 3 times! They've always let water in since day one. I've done around 200 miles in them now and have just had to avoid going out on wet days or spraying them with ridiculous amounts of after market waterpoofing spray. Disappointed... But at least they were cheap (around £26), and lasted me about 18 months.Recently they have started to crack and fray down the fabric on the sides, so I have just replaced with goretex Salomons.

Zero Stars

Bought 'walking shoes' in October, soles worn and leaking by January. Uppers are good but soles very thin and you can feel what you are walking over. Sports Direct shop where I bought them have been closed during lockdown and have ignored me when contacting them online. If I could give zero stars I would.

Same as most of the reviews on here.rubbish

Same as most of the reviews on here.Between Gelert and Sports Direct their customer service stinks. Hardly worn mine and the heels leak and have split. Walking boots they are not, I'd get more protection in flip flops. Shame because they are comfortable. Very very disappointed and angry as they will not own the problem nor do anything about it. Shocking!!!!

Feet get soaking wet!

I’ve had 2 pairs of these boots now and they both did the same thing, after a couple of months wearing them for a daily dog walk the soles get tiny splits/holes and they start to leak. They literally suck up the water as you walk and after only a few minutes the inside of my boots and my feet were soaking wet. I thought it was my fault at first and possibly the way I walked that did this but after reading all these reviews that say they had exactly the same issue it’s obviously a design fault. Sort it out Gelert and sports direct stop ripping people off by selling them crap boots!

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

Wrote to their customer services, enquiring into which of their walking boot ranges cater for broad feet. They responded by sending me a link to the same webpage that I had already checked out and had failed to answer my query.During the lockdown, online sales are the only option for these companies to survive. Make an effort!Why call the department 'Customer Services'?

Waterproof, Feet soaking

I recently bought a pair of Gelert walking shoes for riding my MTB, Bought be cause i wanted waterproof, Two months in and my feet at soaking, It says waterproof on the side of the shoe. Not happy at all. Will just need to use these as a summer shoe now. I actually thought Gelert was a good brand.
