Looking for Bushcraft Boots

[TROOPER]

Hope one of you eagle eyed schrafters can help; does anybody know of anyone that makes a similar style of boot to the BISON BUSHCRAFT BOOTS but that come up the leg higher ie 8'' to 10'' as i cant stand low ankle boots and want a decent pair of leather summer boots.

Any Suggestions?

What sort of price range you looking at. I use "Le Chameau Moulfon plus"

But they are on the expensive side, although mine have lasted nearly 10 years so it kinda works out in the long run

Cheers man, but i was looking for something a bit less like a modern walking boot if you know what i mean, i'm being fussy i know but i want a light weight all leather high boot preferably brown without fancy trimmings if that makes sense. Something like this

Whats the fundamental difference between say a pair of these and say a pair of issue army boots or some German para boots???

[TROOPER]

I find british army boots bloody uncomfortable, they don't come in brown and most importantly you have feel for the terrain etc for tracking, same goes for Jerry Para boots but they are more comfortable, basically i'm being fussy but i want some boots with feel, if you understand where i'm at.

sounds like you're looking for a high leg Doc Martin to me ( in Ox blood of course )

[TROOPER]

ooooohhhh how i wish it twer that easy

[Robbi]

No I don't understand the bit about tracking and feel..... Can you explain??

What are you tracking???

Meindl Desert Foxes are pretty good for the cash and they're not black

[southey]

You can give Brit issue boot a lovely brown luster by polishing then with..........brown kiwi polish.

Build quality I'd say, these Rogue boots look a little 'fragile ' in comparison.....
Probably be fine in dry summer conditions though

[blacktimberwolf]

What are you tracking???

Butterflies

[southey]

Rogue boots are certainly not fragile.

'Bushcraft Boots?' sounds like the marketing folk at Bison have been watching too much telly.

You could do worse than look at Chippewa logger's boots, or telegraph engineer's boots. I hear that they're comfy and lifetime-serviceable: and they're tall boots. You'll probably have to order from the US or Canada, though.

These might work http://www.filson.com/mens/footwear/-1011/ or Irish Setters.

Anyway problem solved, i have now had a couple of replies to get what i want made or ordered, not cheap, but then i don't do cheap as you end up buying three of them to one decent pair, buy cheap buy dear as me Nan used to say. Thank you all for your help, input and advice.

Bison Bushcraft is the company and they are our make of boots, hence " Bison Bushcraft" BOOTS, not boots that can only be used for bushcraft!

lol

So the Bison Woodland Boot is made by Woodland, an as yet unannounced subsidiary of Bison Bushcraft? Not that it matters, the Bushcraft boot is one of the more bushcrafty pieces of footwear I've seen in a long while. The marketing is apt and I'm sure they are a top product. Combining a field boot and a "barefoot" sole for stalking and walking is a a beautiful thing. Just need to offer one which is a higher cut

[rik_uk3]

Those hand made are cheaper than some of the Danner range or Filson, are they as well made though?
