Scarpa for me - https://www.scarpa.co.uk/
I'm planning on walking a good length of the Camino de Santiago next year and I've just ordered a new pair to break in during training. My last pair lasted easily nine years with pretty heavy usage.

I've had Karrimor previously the quality has gone down since Sports Direct bought them as another distressed brand to add to their collection. I've now switched to using Timberland boots.

I've heard good things about Karrimor, and these are about a third of the price of Berghaus.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Sports Direct often have them on special offer or heavily discounted in store so look out for that. I know shopping at Sports Direct is no ones idea of un but in this case its worth it. IMHO only.
