Female GSG-9?

[Beppo]

Sorry for the somewhat-misleading title, but I found these adidas GSG-9 boots in a female version on eBay. I'd like to see what the rest of the "GSG-9F" gear and equipment looks like!

PS: Does anyone have a pair of the adidas GSG-9 boots? How do they rate?

Its only the GSG9 boot in a female cut - its no "official" gear. Furthermore there are no female "field officers" in the GSG9 - those in the support and logistics section would rather wear the standard Federal police uniform and -shoes.

I just thought it was unusual (and interesting) that they would market such a thing. I was also hoping for funny responses with my curiosity of "GSG-9F gear", like pictures of women in "modified" military clothing, such as camouflage-pattern lingerie, or girly handbags with an army webbing motif, etc. But now you've ruined that. Thank you. (Just kidding!)
My other point was that I am genuinely curious about the performance of the GSG-9 boots, as I am thinking about getting some.

RE: the GSG-9 boots, if you have narrow/normal feet they can be very comfortable, like wearing hi-top running shoes. I have a wide footthough and even going up a half size or whole size did not help. Also, the sole is good on turf and dry ground/street but on wet/damp ground or pavement they are treacherous. I wore them on concrete indoor/outdoor range that was wet & it was like walking on ice. From guys who can wear them, they complained the soles wore out fast (less than a year) in an urban type terrain.

Well, as the team boots are only designed for CT ops, they're not really much good for heavy use outdoors. They're great for in barracks or speedmarches as they are essentially black, high leg, issue trainers!

I wouldn't get them for proper soldiering, but for 'cheating' on CFTs and general monging around they're fine. Personally I wouldn't pay anything for them, but if you can get them for free... :)

I have a pair of Desert ones,great comfortable and very lightweight,but on a wet flat surface they're deadly!!
