Supporters TheFull9 Posted January 7, 2017 Supporters Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yep, you also need to get the BB code links not the share links, they'll have [img ] tags around the URL. There is also an edit button on your posts here so you don't have to double post within 2-3 minutes in the same thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the stupid questions I did used to be clued up once upon a time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted January 7, 2017 Supporters Share Posted January 7, 2017 Probably easier. Never tried using my phone, should work I'd have thought but doesn't matter either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantKiwi Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If your more a fair weather or indoor player i highly rate meindl desert foxes. Nice and lightweight, good ankle support and has the speed lacing. Absolutely love them. Also use them for going walking Those are only viable if you've got wide feet, if you're narrow like me, you just end up with lots of rubbing. Robust, but in the grand scheme of things a pretty clunky design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robust, but in the grand scheme of things a pretty clunky design. Each to their own. Everybody's feet are different, Just saying what works for me and why I recommend them. End of the day the best thing for the OP to do is try as many pairs on within his budget and find what works for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinySeal Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 True everybody is different and has different prefences , best thing to do is go to a local military surplace store and try on the boots they have on display and then pick the The ones that suit, plus you may be able to haggle a better price as well .

Hangtight Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 When you're looking for boots there's a couple of things you can look out for that week help indicate your getting something that'll work. If it says 'Vibram' on the sole, this is a good thing. Vibram soles are grippy and hard wearing. Look for free running lace eyelets over the foot and locking ones at the ankle. This means you can pull the laces tight round the ankle for support without pulling them too tight over the foot which will cause fatigue. Goretex will keep your feet dry but is also a thermal insulator. Warm tootsies are good, but overheated feet are horrible. Decent wool mix walking socks are the key to all day comfort. They will pad and support your foot properly and will also help regulate temperature while wicking sweat away from the skin. And as has been mentioned a few times, feet are different shapes as are boots from different manufacturers. Try a few until you find the right ones. And go into a proper outdoor place to try. Even if the prices are too rich for you, the experience of the staff will help you find something that fits well. Knowing what a good fit feels like well really help when looking elsewhere.

Fumps Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm no expert but what I have used since getting into Airsoft & they are bang on, basic para boots with Sorborthane insole in them. combined cost of around £50 an lasts forever, cheap so your never worried about them & rock solid. I walk my dogs twice a day & use them for Airsoft the last pair survived the years of daily use & my second pair is still going strong after a year & half of use.

Dentonboy Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 For me, anything that keeps my feet dry is the goal. I am more fussy about my footwear in the winter than I am the summer; when it is usually dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkySilver Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have a pair a standard issue mod boots i got new for £40, or i rock out my magnums which are so comfortable and take a beating and are a lot lighter but they range in a bit higher.. depends what your looking for out of a boot 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done this and the website doesn't know any details of mine, especially not my bank details, so how can it take money? I've still put pics up on here...

warlord Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I figure the British military invest more research into this than I do, so a pair of Bates Patrol boots from ebay for less than £30 delivered will do the job. You can get them from many surplus sellers in varying grades, but I found a pair from a seller who posted the actual photos of the boots he was selling. So I could see the state of the soles and uppers before buying. They arrived today and are super light and very high on the leg. Not the sexiest bit of kit, but form over function for me. Add to that the sole pattern wont pick up bb's like my Berghaus' do, so I won't go clicking and crunching when trying to sneak about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a list of them on a discussion in an services forum. There were quite a few brands including altberg, haix and bates iirc. Can't put my finger on the list now.
