“I have been wearing this style of boot for many years as a walking boot as i have wide feet and find these very comfortable. Unfortunatly my latest pair were not up to standard due to a change in manufacturer, poor quality & very small for the stated size. The previous supplier `Highlander` were very good boots but these are nothing like.”

“I bought these boots last year September and i have had no issue with them. the only reason i have to buy new ones is because i stupidly added hairspray to try to make them shine better. Apart from that these are excellent and will last very long. They shine brilliantly”

“I think for the price these are a good starter boot for cadets. I was in the army for 12 years before returning to civi life and now my son's joined the army cadets. These are the boots everyone wears at his unit and he has found them to be comfortable and lightweight. They polish up great as well.”

“The size of the boot ordered no where near matched the size of other boots worn by my husband. Materials were inferior. Dont be fooled into think they are a replica for the army issued boot.”

“Bought a pair of these assault boots in May 2017 and they've just this week clapped out. I have two pairs of boots which share the daily load. I work in an office with the occasional countryside excursion. First impressions: 1) Really weird fit. Too wide and not long enough. My toes would hit the end of the boot but no matter how tight I did the laces they'd still feel loose around my foot. This problem was easily overcome by inserting two thick insoles into each boot, and then putting the insole which came with the boot on top. Once they were broken in they fitted perfectly and are totally comfortable. 2) Cheap looking plastic coated / laminated leather and cheap looking imitation stitching on welts. In practice after broken in: 1) Grippy as a mofo. I have had a lot of boots in my life and I've got base over apex countless times at the music festivals. I have never once slipped over or lost my footing whilst wearing these boots. You can walk straight up muddy hills that other people are getting laughed at for slipping over on. 2) Totally waterproof. That cheap looking laminated leather and fake welts that I mentioned earlier? Turns out that's all part of the master plan. Slap a bit of polish on these bad boys and you can literally stand in a puddle without getting wet. That is, until they begin to wear out. I've never known any other leather boots to be totally waterproof. 3) Hard wearing. The leather is still totally fine. The waterproof laminated skin has broken and cracked in places, allowing a minor amount of water to seep in, but can be fixed with polish. The rubber soles split across the ball of the foot. That's what killed them. The grip has not worn out, but the sole has split clean through. This first occurred in August and I fixed it with some superglue. Now the whole sole on the right boot is breaking up and falling apart. Bin job. Overview: Good decent pair of boots. Will probably buy again.”

“The assault boots are quite lightweight and thin - no padding at all and leather creases but seem to do the job for my sons cadet training.”
