For some time now, I've been using Mil-Tec Chimera boots in tough outdoor conditions and I am very satisfied with them. Even though they're black and I often wear them on wet grass and in mud, stains are less visible than one might expect and the boots still look good. In terms of comfort, they're exemplary. I spent four hours walking outside in 20°C with classic cotton socks and did not feel like my feet were overheating. Even at 24°C, sitting in the sun, there was neither a feeling of overheating nor any unpleasant odor after taking them off. The waterproofing is at a very good level. Walking on wet surfaces and grass, my feet remained completely dry and I noticed no moisture inside. At the same time, they are surprisingly breathable considering their waterproof properties. They are also very light, which noticeably affects comfort during activities. The sole is deeply shaped, guaranteeing excellent grip on various surfaces: sand, wet grass, mud, and even during climbing. This gives a lot of stability in diverse conditions. The laces are also a pleasant surprise – they stay tied well and do not come undone, even without being tightly knotted. The only downside: despite having a semi-self-cleaning tread, after walks in the mud, they still need to be rinsed off – they don't clean themselves completely. In terms of appearance, they look more like modern outdoor shoes than classic military ones. To sum up: these are very solid boots – comfortable, waterproof, breathable, lightweight, and functional. In my opinion, they are definitely worth their price.

I appreciate the durability of the construction and the comfortable grip, but the sizing is off – I had to choose a size larger than usual. The membrane and the stiff, thick build retain heat too much, causing the feet to overheat and sweat quickly, regardless of whether you wear socks. If you don’t intend to use them in winter or late autumn, I wouldn’t recommend wearing them in warmer conditions or indoors.

Shoes at this price are great, lightweight, although I also get the impression that the foot leans slightly inward in them. The hard sole nicely transfers body weight from the heel to the toes. The sizing is accurate - 46 is 46, 28.7 cm!! Fits perfectly. The shoe is unlikely to stretch.

At this price, very nice shoes. Used daily, without extreme conditions, they perform very well. Solid workmanship should not cause any surprises. Solid product, worth recommending. It's OK.

The shoes are generally okay, though as others describe, in warm weather your feet sweat a lot, and another minus is that the big toe, or rather the toenail, gets rubbed and later you feel a slight pain. Maybe you should buy a bigger size, because the shoe probably won't expand due to the reinforcement at the toes.

I used these shoes all winter and several times on warmer days. At 0°C and below they work great, but on warmer days or in indoor spaces, your feet start to sweat if you wear them for a long time. But you have to expect this if you want shoes with a membrane. A minus is that the product description mentions a quick lacing system which these shoes do not have (I bought two pairs and neither of them had it).

I have to say, for the price, these shoes are simply brilliant. They are perfect for outdoor use at temperatures from -5 to 10°C—you don't feel them on your feet at all. The sole grips surfaces very well (even icy ones), and I've stepped in deep puddles several times without them getting wet at all. The only downside is that indoors, your feet can sweat in them, but for this price, I honestly and wholeheartedly recommend them.

Great shoes. I bought it for use in the winter, for a little frost. They keep warm quite well. The leg does not freeze. They hardly get wet outside. They keep their shape well. Keep the color.

I was surprised by the good craftsmanship of these shoes, overall they look much better in real life than in the photos. They are light, comfortable, and at the same time seem durable. I tested the membrane by walking for an hour in wet grass, foot stayed dry. That's why I highly recommend!!!

I had two pairs (one after a complaint)... sure, the shoes are comfortable and look nice, but the claims that they're 'armored' are greatly exaggerated. After about a year of intensive (!) use, they break exactly in the same place, at the seam of the rubber toe... Nevertheless, considering the price, I recommend.

Comfortable, lightweight, well-made shoes. They hold the foot well and are stable on slippery surfaces with a good grip on the ground. Small drawback: in my opinion, not recommended for very hot days.

I waited with my opinion until I'd walked in them a bit. And now, after 2 months of using them, I can say something. They are just great. Well tailored to my feet. Light and comfortable. The sole absorbs stones and uneven terrain well, so my feet don't feel it. Plus, the material keeps my feet from sweating. It was a good choice - I recommend.

The shoes are well-made and fulfill their function. My son has two versions, high and low, both are comfortable and well-fitted—worth their price. I recommend the purchase to all interested.

They fit very well on the foot, are light and comfortable. I bought them for everyday wear. It’s too hot to sit in them in the office, but my feet don't freeze. Outside, it’s +1°C and with thin socks they are already quite warm. Overall satisfied, for outdoor use in autumn and spring, this is a great option.
