We Are So Lame Hiking Boots

Can anyone tell me where to buy a decent pair of hiking boots and a north face jacket without paying too much?

I want to avoid ebay as its littered with fraudsters and I need to really go and try on stuff so it needs to be some sort of retail store or factory outlet establishment. I found a lot of the high street stores a bit samey and they dont stock the trendier items for walkers and what they do have is really expensive.

try PricerunnerUK, its a comparison site and they should point you in the right direction
