New Boots

Having viewed all those boots....I've got to say that I'm likin' C9G's the best! Probably not the best choice for a 30k hike over mountainous and muddy terrain in sub zero conditions....but with pins like those .....who cares! :engel016::bump::icon_lol:

if its a beach hike she'll go barefoot no doubt, i have 2 pairs of assault boots, one pair for general usage and one for operational/base side of things...

i'm loathe to take my boots off, even now sat here comfortably in my general usage pair, drinking lager and looking for a new parachute for the weekends :icon_lol:

anyone got a pair of Doc Martens? if so are they a good general walking boot?

I find that the soles of DMs are too inflexible for walking any great distance without becoming uncomfortable. Same goes for Timberlands which were always more about fashion I think. Steel capped DMs are very good in an industrial environment though :stop: :hatchet:
 
Bots of choice: German army standard issue.

Got to keep my two pairs after the service, so why not use them?
 
These Meindl's have already lasted me several years and I can't see them wearing out - they were comfortable right out of the box.
But for snow and mud I feel better in my Hunting Boots :running:
