Im trying to find some metal free boots for searching in,does anyone know where i can get some in the UK, I know about the altbergs bomb boots as i have 3 pairs already but they are coming to the end of their lives,and the new boots we are issued are pants,so am looking for a cheaper recomended alternative to purchase myself

How about the old standby of heavy socks and Wellingtons?

ive never found wellingtons give enough ankle support especially on the rough ground we work on ,I found the altbergs were good but they are just too pricey to privately purchase,i would prefer a combat or walker type

I used Le Chameau wellingtons in very wet conditions and Scarpa SL walking boots othertimes, you'd have to check on the metal content of the Scarpas now, as the pair i used were over 10 years old.
But for comfort and grip the Scarpas took some beating. Pricey though!!

Spotter, Do a search for Non-Magnetic Toe Boots or NMT's. We have a lot to chose from here in the states and plenty of boot outlets also. Danner Boots, a very reputable company here, sells several different designs as well as Converse (Boot). Don't know what they'd charge for import, but it might be something to look into.

Magnum Hi-Tec is a type that some of my work colleagues wear. They are light and give ankle support. I think they are free from metal but best you check before buying any. Regards, XT.
