The shoes are rubbish. The upper is made of proper polished leather, they’re comfortable to walk in, even though they’re heavy. I only wore them in winter, a few trips to the Beskid mountains, mostly on snowy terrain. I was very satisfied with them. After two winter seasons, the sole suddenly detached from one shoe—the sole is layered. Suddenly (in the snow), the layer of the sole attached to the upper cracked in the middle, and the heel with the back part of the sole started to flap. I had to walk several kilometers in a flapping, leaking shoe. I couldn't even use zip ties to hold it together. Overall, I walked no more than 60-70 km in them 'from new.' This has never happened to me before, and I’ve owned several pairs of shoes. Wear, holes—yes, but for the sole to detach! I definitely do not recommend them.

Thinsulate is a high-tech insulating material from 3M with a special construction based on synthetic microfibers that provide high thermal insulation at a low weight. Its lightweight, elasticity, and ability to retain heat even in humid conditions make it widely used in clothing and footwear. Thinsulate fibers are durable and abrasion-resistant, resulting in long-lasting durability.
Poliyou is an anatomically molded insole, made of polyurethane foam characterized by high thermal insulation parameters. The open-cell design with high elasticity absorbs vibrations and shocks and provides adequate breathability. The active carbon content has an antibacterial effect, leveling the formation of unpleasant odors and preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Advanta is a breathable and waterproof lining used in Mil-Tec tactical footwear. It protects the inside of the boot from water penetration from the outside while allowing moisture and water vapor to escape. This helps maintain a dry microclimate inside the footwear during intensive use. It increases wearing comfort in changing terrain and weather conditions.

G... Review confirmed by purchase
I bought these shoes in the summer of 2025. At first, they seemed solid. Unfortunately, with intensive use during hunting, they turned out to be impractical. The eyelets are made of poor material – two of them came off during regular lacing.

I expected something better. The shoes are quite bulky, and it's hard to lace them in a way that your foot doesn't slide forward when going downhill. The sole only appears to be stiff in the photo; in practice, you can feel sharp stones on the mountain trail quite clearly. Additionally, they are extremely slippery on packed snow, unlike any other shoes I've ever had. After two hours of walking with crampons, my feet had had enough. I definitely do not recommend them.
