Desert Boots

Hi all,

Does anyone know what time of boot, Harry (HRH) was wearing out there.
In pictures they looked like Meindls but they had a zip up the inside.

Or let me know where I can buy them from, size 10 medium if anyone has and wants to convert to tokens.

Many thanks

Osta

IIRC mine were $80 from thye PX at Victory, not waterproof, but nothing that a gortex sock couldn't sort out, very comfy too.

Thanks guys but they are not the ones I am after.

I had a look on the net and this is the only photo that I could find of them

You can't beat Alberg or LOWA elite, it's worth paying the extra money for them to last.

You are almost undoubtedly correct.

But as I left the mob a good few years ago I will only be wearing them to mince about in at work. I run a flooring company and desert boots with their soft suede uppers and wide tread soles are the perfect floor fitting boot !

The zips would add that little bit extra in that they would be much easier to get off and on in customers houses !
