Re: recommended boots
I have experienced quite a few boots. (Army)
Altberg sneeker being the best all round imo. The Gortex gtx boots are also good for long days in the woods, along with the Lowa.

Or if you want to add an extra few quid, AKU do some awesome all rounders.

Re: recommended boots
From my experience magnums are incredibly comfortable with good anchle support, well ventilated light weight and reasonably priced although not the most durable out there but would be fine for occasional use such as airsofting.

Re: recommended boots
Army issue desert Magnums are well built enough to take some rough scrapes, have strong ankle support, plenty of padding and ventilation, a reinforced cap, and are so lightweight they're practically trainers.
You really can't go wrong with Magnum but a new spec leather pair can cost around and just over your budget. I wear the Magnum Stealth with the side zip almost every day. I won't get into why but I will say it's impossible for me to wear regular assault boots. I recommend checking out your local army surplus stores first (even if you're going for Altbergs or Lowas, which are also very good). Magnums can go for as cheap as £20 but expect the £30-35 mark.
More expensive kit doesn't always mean better kit.

Re: recommended boots
I have a pair of Magnum 8.1's and they are brilliant boots, I've worn them day in day out for a year or so, still in great condition. Best £80 I've spent!

You can't go wrong with using the search function as this topic has been done about a million times before. You will get the same answers every time.

Re: recommended boots
Trigger, how can you dislike my post? Simple fact that this question has been asked loads before and every time it is the same "I like x" "I like y".

Boots are a matter of taste go to an outdoor store and try some on is my siggestion, as what fits one person won't be comfortable on you. And also what your looking at them for. steer clear of steel toes and full on waterproofs if its just for skirmishes as boy do they make your feet hurt. Personally in wear magnum deserts and Altbergs.
And at work I wear magnum stealthy 12 hours on my feet and they are a dream!
But really it's totally up to you but don't expect to get anything decent for less than £40-50 although saying that my first set of boots were Karimoor boots from sports direct for £30, comfortable, breathe able and lasted a far while, finally fell apart on a trek in the Spanish hills ( good job I had a new pair of magnum deserts on me)!

Re: recommended boots
Boots are a big subject and there's a lot to be covered... People are often happy to offer advice on something purely because they have a pair and nothing terrible has happened.
You really need to consider HOW you are are going to use the boot and where.
Personally I have a pair of AKU Pilgrems that I've been using for cold/wet or woodland wear. They have a vibram sole with a high rubber rand and rather firm cushioning along with a slight heel. This makes them good for carrying a bunch of stuff and also gripping hard when descending whilst wearing a pack. They are a Goretex lined boot and so are rather watertight.
They are expensive but because they have a replaceable sole and brilliant build quality, I'll be saving money in the future.
