Normally I would write out about 1,000 words for a gear review – but as we have a bit more time on our hands (Lockdown…) then I decided to try and make a more comprehensive video review for the Grisport Gamekeeper boots.
Now, this is not our first interaction with Grisport but I try to approach each review without bias and be as critical as I can. I have yet to have a bad experience with Grisport footwear, and so far, so good with the Grisport Gamekeeper boots.
I had hoped to use them in a variety of settings before presenting the review, but the strict travel restrictions in Wales limited me to walks within a few miles of home, working for friends on their farms and estates and other short trips out with work.
