E21A Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Anybody used these? They’re pretty cheap on amazon and have good reviews on there. Just wondering if anyone has experience using them for Airsoft? Thanks
Robert James Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 I have, I also have a tan pair size 8 for sale... however... they are fine.
Wo1f Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 They’re alright. I burned through mine in 6 months. The sole split in half and let water in. I am tough on my stuff though. For cqb they’d probably last years

sniperslucky Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 My son has a pair ,no problems with them so far approx 6mths of woodland use. Extra £20 you could get viper boots

Supporters Druid799 Posted May 10, 2018 Supporters Posted May 10, 2018 Standard cheap and cheerful boots HK/China made as you would get from most on-line retailers wouldn’t hold up to ‘real world’ use but perfectly good enough for Airsoft use . sniperslucky , me personally I wouldn’t touch anything Viper with a 10ft barge pole ! There just re-branded boots as well , just cost a lot more ! ?♂️

Supporters Druid799 Posted May 11, 2018 Supporters Posted May 11, 2018 My dislike of them is just based on personal experience, seen a few pairs go tits up relatively quickly on friends so I’m well shy of them now .

I took a spill and fractured my foot when the sole split on my 5.11 boots. If I was wearing my current footwear I doubt I would of sustained anywhere close to the same level of injury.
Duff Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 I wear Converse Hi-tops for indoors cqb, good grip and keep my feet fairly cool. I have a pair of Scruffs Switchbacks that I wear when it's colder and for outdoors.

I run lowa gtx boots and they’re the best £170 I’ve ever spent. I was referring to them lasting longer without failure inside

Good support and as comfy as slippers.

In over two years of running up and down stairs and turning at full sprint I have never once had a lack of confidence in the support. Customer service from Salomon is awesome too.
