Boots Boots Boots... 62 boot threads in one

[bean_mr]

Just issued a pair of Rocky S2V Desert boots and did a light ruck (about 2k) with them the other day in order to brake them in a bit. They tore my heal up quite bad. Has anybody else used these boots? And what are your opinions of them?

Thanks in advance.

I'v worn insulated Danner Recons comfortably in temperatures as low as -58F.

It is not possible to be comfy at -58. I speak from exp.

These are my Magnum-boots. Not the enemy but my puppy-dog destroyed one boot.

Hi,

Very interesting thread

I think about buying one paire of boots (belleville 550 or bates 25501), and I'm wondering about 2 or 3 things :
-how easy is it to clean : I will use use them for hiking/ruck marches, and there will be dirty water, mud ...
-what is better : waterproof boots or hot weather with liner (bates do it) to put in winter ? If I put a liner, do I need to take a half size larger (9 -> 9,5) or wider (9Reg -> 9Wide) or none ?
-I'm in France, so the weather is colder and wet (compare to Irak and Astan where the boot are made for). Do you think it's good boot or "real" hiking shoes are better ?

I read the thread, so I think my questions aren't repost. I hope they're not annoying too.

EDIT : when I mention liner, I mean waterproof liner like this

thanks

hot weather boots have a vent holes so in wet cold weather it could be a problem. If there is no vent holes it is interesting variant, because you can remove lining and dry it very easily on open air. Real hiking/trekking boots have a great cushioning (no rubs) and better ankle support. But this kind a boot will dry longer than classic military boot (because its lining is simplier)

I am in love with the Nike SFB.




I'll use my Danner TFX GTX boots for the winter now. EVen though they aren't the insulated variation, they did just fine last winter with a good sock.

Hi

I would like to know if anyone can help me identify this pair of boots:



The seller from the website told me he doesn't know anything about it.

Also, can anyone recognise these?



The image is a screen capture from the anime series: The Eden of the East. The main protagonist (Akira Takizawa) is an homage to the Taxi Driver. He wears a M65 Jacket from the Vietnam era, and these boots. I would think that they are the 'Jungle Boots'.

I googled "vietnam jungle boots" and these were the results. What do you guys think?

First pair is probably some kind of Mukluks, kinda look like the USAF ones kinda

An yea that anime bit is Jungle Boots. Did you really need someone to say yes those clearly animated jungle boots are jungle boots.

Not mukluks but I have no idea what they are. The bottom parts make me think paladiums.
