I generally get a pair of military surplus boots for dog walking etc.

I have a pair of brown desert meindls (£25 on ebay) for the summer, and brown Karrimor SF gore tex (£50 ebay) boots for winter/rain. Dead cheap, good quality, not too worried about damage or loss etc.

A year ago I bought a pair of Hanwag Tatras for about £135, absolutely wonderful boots, only lasted me 4 months though until I left one behind somewhere I still keep the odd one just incase I ever find the other

Same here.

No problems with any of that. I've tried using layman's language to explain it to you but you just get the hump. My smiley doesn't signify anything passive-aggressive: you're a stranger on an internet forum, why would I waste any emotion on you? I was taking the piss, that's all Have a wink and chill out.

Given you aren't emotionally involved you won't mind me suggesting that I'd hazard a guess that you have read a study and are quoting its conclusions as though they were universally applicable without taking adequate account of the study's sample or experiment. That would be a fairly typical pseudo-science fail that is rife in journalism and health advice offered by trainers, life-style advisors, lots of people who call themselves nutritionists. In most cases their advice is offered in good faith, and it's mostly harmless.
