Re: Contour Boots?

Anyone tried Contour Boots? If so, any comments? I know they are a bit
cheaper, but I am looking for a boot with a generous volume for under £80.
I believe their Nevada boot has reasonable width and sells for about £65.

If not Contour, any other suggestions? Leather preferably, and not weighing
a ton. Goretex not necessary.

I use a pair for summer walking - they do the job as adequately as any boot that costs double. Wouldn't use them in serious winter conditions though - that is when the Scarpa Manta's prove their worth.
