Re: Best boots (tabbing, etc.)
The issued ones are pretty much upto the job once they're well broken in I've been using the same ones 6 years, might want to invest in a good pair of soles.

Re: Best boots (tabbing, etc.)
Yes I am... and saying that, I'll agree with the statement abou ankle support, but I have a pair of US Wellco jungle boots I use for exercise, and they are so comfy... and they are US issued as well, and cheap as chips ;) a third of the cost of lowas, but as you can say, unsuitable for real ops

Just had a look at these, they look very much like the Lowas I have. Can anyone explain the difference?

From what I have heard its just the rings instead of hoops for the laces and a couple of very minor design bits here and there.

Re: Best boots (tabbing, etc.)
As a civvy, i have to admit that Bundeswehr's (German Army) issued boots are great. I use them for more than 3 years, everyday.

they are 100% leather, no gora-tex or anything like that. Really comfy on both winter and summer. They have a sole that absorbs vibrations.The only drawbacks are: there is a lot of chinese copies of it in shops and they dry slowly. They are also heavier than most synthetic boots.
