Has anyone ever seen these boots or have a pair. Myself and some other guys are thinking about buying a pair and try out in the desert. I am tired of the Oakley boots because they always fall apart. I want to know if anyone has ever worn these boots and are they tough enough to withstand the desert while wearing kit?

Very nice looking. Gonna have to get a pair.

I am trying to find a dealer right now that has them in stock. A friend of mine has a pair and he swears by them and he says they are much better than Oakley, especially for assaulting.

Those kind of look like the Kiowa http://www.bellevilleshoe.com/stylestr.php

Do you know if these boots are breathable? I am looking for something that I can wear in the blistering hot shit hole. I have Merrells for the winter and I have a new pair of Merrell coming to assault in, but I am always looking for something new.

I've never worn them, so I really can't say.

Lowa Brand are the dogs bollox! Very popular this side of the pond with Irish and UK Soldiers..

LOWA looks like it's something I am going to have to try...

I had a pair (not exactly like the pic, but close) on the AT with the boyscouts last summer. I loved them, worth the money.

The ones in the pic are the 2009 boots, they were just released very recently. A buddy of mine got a pair before they came out on the market. He likes them.

I will have to order those in Aug after I get ahead. This month and last has killed me, but those look badass. I hope they keep together. If they had a lifetime warranty, that would be money.

I'm surprised any of the PX's haven't got them at your location:uhh:

Under Advanced Reply you'll see a small icon with mountains in it. Click on that and paste the URL into it. Just make sure you don't have two "http://"'s in it or the link won't work.

Edit: their link needed some work to make it happen, but the process above generally works. I can explain offline if need be.

A friend of mine talked ATS Tactical Gear into putting them in their show room. They can get them a whole lot cheaper than what we pay for them, but they will mark them up of course. But until they get them in their store, no one around Ft. Campbell carries these boots.

Although I haven't got those particular boots, I use the Lowa Combat GTX's. If their desert boots are anywhere near the same quality, they're good to go.

Bros, what's the advantage of a low ankle boot as opposed to a higher ankle boot? Wouldn't this boot be better traditional height for more calf/ankle support?

For Grand Canyon work, the Lowa's have rated right up with Merrils for comfort and dependability. Usually a great product. :cool:
In fact for pure Comfort, the Lowa's are tops, from my experience, and still seem to hold up.

That is what I am looking for. Something that holds up under extreme conditions. I have several pair of Merrells myself, but my last pair I was disappointed in. The front of them came apart after only having them for a week and I was in the mountains of Oregon and my damn feet got wet. I still love their shoes, but I am always on the look out for a new and better product. Especially if I can get my company to buy them for the guys.

Oh yeah, that version of Lowa, won't be out until the end of July. Damn them. I wanted them yesterday.
