There's a lot of rubbish talked about army boots, they are not the low tech, hob nailed, crude boots that they used to be. Millions of pounds has been spent on research into design and materials and only top performing kit is procured.
While browsing an army surplus shop, the RSM's advice popped into my head. I found the correct size and handed over the cash. If it's good enough for a top 'Bootneck' it's good enough for me. He was right they are unbeatable.
