BOGS BOZEMAN TALL MEN’S WINTER BOOTS, £115

Prepare to be shocked – these boots are “shockingly comfortable” and “stubbornly durable” and are rated for use right down to -60°C. To be honest, I don’t often go birding when it’s that cold. The Bozeman is totally waterproof, has DuraFresh bio-technology to limit nasty niffs, Max-Wick to evaporate sweat, flex-width insoles that adapt to your foot width (that sounds clever) and handle holes to help you get them on.
