Bought a pair of Kratos walking boots… Bought a pair of Kratos walking boots direct from Grisport in January. I had read good reviews of the style and brand in general. Everything was great at first, waterproof and really comfortable. Then after about 6 weeks of wear they started letting water in. I contacted their Customer Services who recommended a NikWax spray, that didn’t work, so I wax dubbed them. Still no good. Soaking wet feet even through wet grass. Customer Service won’t answer my emails now and didn’t allow the negative review I left on the Grisport site. It’s the old saying buy cheap buy twice and you get what you pay for. I’ll have to now buy a proper pair of boots from another brand. I would not recommend these boots or brand due to the companies failure to respond to complaints.

Very sad to see the negative reviews. Very sad to see the negative reviews. I recently bought a pair of chieftain boots (£115) from the clearance department and they are comfy straight out of the box, I've only done a few miles in them, so time will tell. The process, contacted customer service Tuesday night about sizing, they emailed back Wednesday morning, I had a think about it and ordered Thursday night and my new boots arrived on Saturday morning with a couple of free gifts too, 2 pairs of merino socks and a water flask/ bottle. Personally I can't fault Grisport, fingers crossed tho' as I said before, time will tell.

Returns NOT FREE “Free exchanges and Easy Returns”. I mistakenly took this to be free returns. My error but had I known they charge for “their return label” I would never have ordered as shoes are a difficult thing to get right without trying on.

2 months and falling apart. Bought some wide fit boots on the recommendation of my orthopaedic surgeon (recommended grisport) 2 months later the leather is coming away from the soles, not what you'd expect for £120 , grisport will not do anything to rectify this or even acknowledge that itd happened. Terrible customer service.

Don't buy Grisport boots by mail order We bought from Grisport on the basis of a good review in Which Magazine. Owing to a shortage of High St stockists, we bought by mail order. It is probably a mistake ever to buy walking boots by mail order, since it is critical to try them on first. Grisport advertise that their boots need no 'breaking in'. This was far from the truth for my wife and myself: we both suffered badly from chafing around the ankle. We are unable to return them, since only 'unworn' boots are accepted. (How can one know whether the boots fit or not without wearing them?)
