  • boots for your plates of meat

    Hi folks.
    Another annoying question from yours truly.

    British army boots and their survivability is the question.
    I am looking for a pair of boots suitable for mostly woodland play.
    I need them to be resilient enough to withstand day to day wear as I work on a woodland location, but also to be suitable to wear with a modern British soldiers mtp look.

    What would be your recommendations for a decent mid range boot, that would survive this and be milsim accurate.

    Cheers in advance for any advice.

    A mate of mine uses Lowa desert elites and they are brilliant, he wears them pretty much everywhere and it goes great with the MTP loadout. Bit pricey but definitely a good investment.

      Yeah I think needle lowas are a tad beyond my price sadly as they look good.

        I have the Lowa's too. Best boots I have ever owned. Heavy, but I too wear them for everything. I worked the summer doing door canvassing and wore my lowas and my feet didn't even hurt from pounding the pavement. Soles wore a bit mind, but not so much that they need repairs and it hasn't stopped me wearing them constantly...

        I put my feet too close to a fire pit at Eversly and melted the front of the boot and one year on I still wear them

          When folks talk about the lowa boots are you referring to the brown ones or the desert combat ones. Just seen a second hand pair for 60 quid.

          Also.what's the opinion on the magnum boots.

                Magnums are poor quality IMO, I have had a few pairs but for £25 they are worth it.

                My boots are the Desert Elite ones.

                  I'm a size 10 sadly. Seems the most common size lol. Might get a pair of new magnums as opposed to some second boots.

                    Ended up with a new pair of haix boots in the end.
                    Hope that doesn't prove to be a mistake.

                      Haix are meant to be good. I want a pair of the Goretex ones, but the ones I got were too narrow but I found that with the Pro boots too

                        I will let you know what I think once I have broke them in. These are the high liability boot, they have the vortex lining etc. retail online about £150. Guy in store let them go to me for £65 as I will be going back for all my mtp, osprey stuff etc. was gutted as he had a Star l85a2 with all the new mods and acog on it. But sold it last week. Would have offered him my mrs for it lol.

                            Infantry rarely wear issued boots in the field. I personally wear Lowa GTX Mids for exercise. I have seen guys wear Salomons, Mammuts, asolos all sorts.

                              Haix make a good boot! Much better than my issue Altbergs!
