Topic: How to choose military boots? 2

I love my Forced Entry Tactical Boots. I bought them to replace my old jungle boots just in time for my encampment... my feet thanked me.

Well, any one heard of the Gore-Tex Defender? is it good?

I've got a pair of Taipans. Made in Australia by Highmark Shoes... and they are, without a moment of doubt the best boots I've owned. I was wearing them all the time until I got my ear chewed by a WO1 from 9RQR up at Purga Range. So now I'm back to wearing my Terras (standard Australian Army boots) to avoid situation like that again.

I have really narrow big feet, so what generally works for me doesn't work for anyone else.

No they don't but the knowing the U.S. Military they had them stock piled.

You mean the US army still has the old boots in the warehouse?

Go with Bulldoggs suggestion Magnum Hi-Techs outstanding boots like jungle boots (so nice and comfy), but with added support. Nice bit of kit wouldnt be anywhere without em!!!

Well, I definitely do not want a pair of jungle boots as I will be going into mud and all.

They are called Terra Combat Boots.

Looks good, But will the two hydration holes at the bottom of the shoe make the shoe easier to get wet inside?
