Says something when soldiers won't touch their own issued boots. We use lowa mountain which are the most durable and the comfirst, altberg sneakers are the lightest and pretty comfy or the best boots by a clear mile are the old adidas gsg9 boots. You will find it hard to get hold of a pair of them.

if your on about the standard issue boots i wouldnt use them as plant pots

 

theyre made out of compressed cardboard, take ages to wear in and if you go for a long tab you and up with horrific blisters. last time i wore them was in training and i done 67kilometres and felt like i had took the skin off to the bone. i see them for sale in surplus stores, goths walking about with them on and it makes me cringe

 

if your on about a certain make of issued boots like the magnum jungles we get issued for kenya, the lowa/meindl deserts for afghan of the jungles boots for belize then theyre ok but cant see the jungles doing too well in the cold/wet british winter.

 

ask rake aboot. id rather go ferreting in a pair of trainers and get covered in shit upto my knees than wear a pair of issued boots. learnt from that one

 

i wear my lowa mountain boots for walking the dogs and ferreting. the bees knees for durability. cant get a better review than people that wear them day in day out and put them through their paces lowa/altberg or adidas gsg9

Altberg are a top pair of boots mate. If you go on looks they are the smartest. The sneakers are ultra light but make sure you don't get the jungle ones, they have a material up the side and is not waterproof. It's difficult to tell at a glance. I wear the altberg peacekeepers just because I've had them for years. Altberg is a British company who make te boots on the suggestions of the soldiers. I have been the the factory in Richmond and it's no bigger than the local co op. The staff were on the ball and if you go the factory directly they will measure your feet and make you a pair made to measure.

 

Definitely worth the money.
