Dovre Extreme reviewed by BASC

The Dovre Extreme GTX field sports boot is a high-cut boot designed ideally for hunting but has been praised as a well-serving all-rounder. The boot’s height makes it protective in muddy conditions, and its rigidity gives excellent ankle support yet has enough flexibility to be comfortable straight out of the box. 

Lewis Thornley from BASC magazine has recently put a pair through their paces. Read on for his review…

“Meindl boots need little introduction. The company has been making boots for 300 years and prides itself on craftsmanship, always delivering the highest quality. The Dovre Extreme boots are highly regarded by shooters and stalkers due to their height, support, comfort, and durability under constant use across varying terrain in all conditions.

“I tested a new pair sent from BushWear, having owned a pair previously which lasted ten years. I was excited to see how the new ones would compare. Obviously, I couldn’t compare over a whole decade, but I did have the chance to properly put them through their paces. Out of the box, I found them comfortable, more so than I remember the previous pair. They are true to size although I usually go half a size bigger to allow for a thicker sock.

“I wore these boots every day during testing, dog walking and deer stalking in a lowland environment and out on the hill in Scotland in some seriously challenging terrain and weather.

“As expected, the boots matched the terrain and did exactly what I needed them to do. They are flexible enough for easier walking but sturdy on the hill when that extra level of support is required. They are totally waterproof, as you would expect being GORE-TEX lined, and extremely comfortable for long periods, thanks to the memory foam system. These boots give you the confidence to take on any situation and, with a bit of care, will no doubt last for years.”

Available in sizes from 5-15, including half sizes.
