oho...
*runs for cover*
Those two pictures are from some kind of documentary?
Danners and Gore-tex
I like the goretex danners with about 600 g thinsulate for mid range cold wx. but I will caution as well against using in scenarios where full immersion is common. here is what I have used for several years in temps from -30F, to 102F:
I love the desert Acadias for about 75% of conditions they are great and can come with or without g-tex.
I use the Danner Ft. Lewis with 600g in the early spring and Fall to stay warm down into freezing temps without sacrificing too much on manueverability and causing foot sweat.
For extreme temps I use a -100F Lacrosse with full lace and they seem to work well and offer good support for a Pacboot. The temp rating is over rated but they do well down to - 25 deg if you dont put them on frozen and are not sitting for too long.
I need info on israeli red leather boots!
Hello everyone! I need help from israeli guys... In september I'm going to visit Israel for one week. During the visit, I'm going to buy an israeli red boots.
1. I've been told that there are two versions of this boots - old and new - what is the difference? Maybe there are a lot of versions?
2. What boot sizing system is used in Israel? Do they have a width types like in US system? My size is 7 1/2 or 8 ("D" or "R" - middle width) for US system and 40 - 41 for Euro system. How can I compare Israel sizes to US and Euro sizes?
3. IMHO, israeli boots look like a copy of US "Combat-1" boots. Am I right?
4. What companies produce this boots? Is there a commercial copies and official govermental-ordered boots? I want a real boots, not some commercial crap...
P.S. I'm not going to buy this boots by internet ways, only a real shop in Israel.
I had wondered about these boots about a week ago in a "todays pics" thread.
My dad, (who is from Israel,) told me that they were used for paratroopers
Wrong! Not Merrells. Try Vasque Wasatch GTX I am sure you can find a link for them.
It's good to have a goal in life.
just get a pair of dr.martens in ox blood
btw, you are going to israel and can only think about boots? check out the women in the military thread.
Those boots go great with the Blood Diamond pants.
They only work well when using the Israeli lace-up method.
I don't think you would find the old boots anywhere... Anyway, the new boots - "light boots" - are, well, lighter and have shock suspension in sole(you can see that the sole has two layers) and as far as I remember they have a blue band inside(for marking the light version).
The Europe system, same as in Russia.
Have no idea.
One of the companies which produce the boots is Alba. In any way, if you go to the big military/tourist gear chain stores like Rikoshet(can find it practically in every mall) and ask the military boots - you'll get it. One way to see that the boots are "genuine" - there have to be small pockets on the upper edge of the boots for holding the dog tags.
Anyhow, what's with the red boots?
Thank you very much, IDF TANKER!!!
I'll explane why I want that bootsI like classic army boots and I need a new all-leather boots for moderate weather (mostly for the town life). But the black ones look too militaristic, so I need something brown/red. I found three opportunities - Belleville chocolate brown boots for USMC and Navy - the only way to get them is to order from USA, Corcoran brown boots - too retro, and israeli boots.
My mother is going to visit her old university friend. She (the friend) is jewish and she lived in Turkmenistan (former republic of USSR). She emigrated to Israel in 90-s with her small daughter and very old father, because the president's regime (so called Turkmenbashi - Father of all turkmens) persecuted all non-turkmen and russian-speaking people. She lives in a small town near Tel-Aviv, so it won't be a problem for me to get to Tel-Aviv and find some big store.
Good luck, man. Only be beware, that these boots are not really comfy - the standard thing for IDF soldiers is to buy the orthopedic insoles, so you might want to by the boots 1-2 sizes bigger than your normal size(although I heard that new boots already come with the insoles, but maybe it's only in army). Besides, you will want to put thick sport/military socks (there is no soft layer inside) - another reason to buy a bigger size.Thank you very much, IDF TANKER!!!
