Going on a three-day hike in the Brecon Beacons on Friday, and I've just remembered that the waterproofing is shot on my boots. Anyone have any re-waterproofing products they'd recommend? I stupidly wore them sailing a few years back and they just don't hold out the moisture anymore, which is a problem in Brecon (mostly pretty swampy).

Sitting in a bit shop looking at a new pair, bloody hell these things are expensive. Looking at scarpa terra gtx or salomon quest 4D 2 gtx, thoughts?

Anyone have experience with Karrimor boots? Sports Direct near me is closing down and there's a good 60% off boots.. Some of them look OK?

I've never heard of them, and it's not a brand I ever hear anyone talking about with regards to their favorite hiking footwear, like Solomon or Lowa, Keen, Merrells, and the like. If it's decently priced and feels comfortable, I'm sure it's ok, I just wouldn't have any great expectations of durability or longevity.
Yeah I had a bit more of a search and it looks like it was a decent bootmaker once upon a time but was fairly recently bought by Sports Direct (lovely UK company run by a nationally-renowned dickhead) and quickly went to crap. Ah well.
