west country warrior 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 part worn old style are size 8 not sure on the width fitting, still in good nick and fully waterproof. New style are size 7L, brand new, still have labels attached. (7L in a military boot will fit a size 8 foot as they are the wide foot bed which overlaps with the 8S/8M) feel free to make a sensible offer on either or both. There are several resons i didn't get on with them, firstly i get hellish hot feet and the goretex personnely adds to the problem (prefer my lowa patrols/Altberg peacekeeper or jungle) . secondly, river crossings and prolonged time out in the rain means they soon get full of water on the inside, then they stay wet inside far to long for my liking. The new style are also to long in the leg for my stumpy little pins. probably good field boots but not for my military requirements. Old style boot new style boot boots are currently in somerset, but i'm in north yorks. not sure on what your time frame for these are, but can arrange drop off if local or mailling, if your interested.

Chris thanks chris interested in the new style mate. do you mean they leak over the top on river crossings or leak through the leather. as they say there totally waterproof? how much do you want for the new pair? i'm in dorset so would mailing be easier?

west country warrior 0 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 yeah leak over the top (which your always going to get unless you and your boots are 30ft tall..lol), but then because the goretex is wet from the inside i find they just don't dry out to my liking, especially when i've got to live in them for prolonged periods of time with no means other than body heat to dry them out.. but if you want to make use of them, then fill yer boots (pardon the pun, couldn't resist at this late hour!) they are currently in my sisters loft in someset, on the dorset border, so pick up might be a good option? (shes home on maternity at the mo to) just checked ebay and they're on there for between £60 and 100 less postage, so would be willing to take £60 and arrange some kind of pick up/drop off if you fancy?
