bomb proof

Light. Strong. Not too hot as no waterproof lining but dries quicker as a result. Perfect fit if you go to their shop in Richmond.
Takes a while to break in as the leather is so thick. No lining so plenty of tlc to stay waterproof. Not enough places to buy them.
Fantastic once broken in. Best suited for life in the armed forces. I have walked for miles for days in these boots and every time i put them on they feel great. A very light boot for its size. I prefer none lined boots as i have sweaty feet so these need a bit of extra care, altberg sell a wax for them that does the trick and every fourth or fifth clean i apply some nikwax aqueous wax. If you go to the shop you will get a perfect fit, but they do sell over the internet.
