Barkers Of Ringwood, RINGWOOD

I cannot reccomend this place highly enough for outdoor fanatics and boot-wearers. I am normally very weary of the tendancy of smaller outdooring businesses to be a poor attempt at cashing in on the outdooring scene, however after I was reccomended this store, I thought I'd check it out. Within a few minutes, I was been assisted in my choice of walking boots by a VERY helpful, knowledgeable Mr Barker, who gave me several tips on how to reduce blistering on long mountain hikes which proved invaluable over my next few weeks in Norway!

Best boot shop I've ever been to, and after-sales customer support is second to none.

p.s. I forgot to add, check out any offers which may be just inside the door- I saved about £40 or £50 on my boots, since they are ex-production!
