Another satisfied Cotswold customer here, my nearest store (Norwich) have knowledgeable and helpful staff and happy to get in the correct size / colour for me to try.
Go Outdoors, whilst more in the superstore genre, also seem to have a reasonable range and choice.
So, you have to get advice from the internet to find a shop to get advice from a boot expert to find boots to walk in. Lordy, can't anyone decide anything for themselves these days? đŸ˜‰
The OP does have some specific shoe requirements to be fair.....
It's a bit like music, Dez. Personal opinions and experiences can help others. Who'dathunkit, eh?

You should have the courage of your conviction and just wear what you want to....

We won't judge....
What do the Haix boots weigh, roughly? Tempted with a black pair - standard non-goretex but would prefer a model with zide-zip. Got big feet and would have to order from Aus so a rough weight idea would give me some idea if they could be "all day" boots or just short term wearers.
