,in my opinion.To cycle in them would be very uncomfortable,and i'd hate to think that someone i know might see me in them!
Lowa is what you want boots wise IMO. Bought a pair 2 years ago never looked back.

I only have two pairs of footwear if they last over three years of daily use it is affordable imo. I would never get over a years daily use out of a 50 quid set of boots. had them three years now will probably get another year or so out of them. I could probably get away with resoling them to get a couple more years out of the uppers not sure if I will though.
