Unfortunately, the shoes are terrible. 340 PLN for footwear in which you can last a maximum of 4-5 hours. I bought them for work, and even with minimal physical effort, my feet sweat instantly. The shoe does not wick away moisture at all, it does not 'breathe', so after 8 hours the sock is literally wet. I wonder where all these positive reviews come from. I have the impression that they come from people who use them only occasionally, because in the real conditions in which a military/tactical boot should perform, they are simply disastrous.

I took them with me to an obstacle race, Formoza Challenge, to test them. It turned out that they are really lightweight, even during a long run. As for the durability of the sole, I can't say yet because I've only had them for 2 months, but in terms of grip, after soaking the shoes I was literally able to walk vertically up a wooden wall with a rope, which was also wet and sandy, so a HUGE plus. Of course, no damage as you would expect from real military boots. I recommend them!

Mil-Tec Chimera Mid boots in black are a solid choice for those looking for comfortable and functional footwear for everyday use and outdoor activities. Their construction provides good ankle support, which is important during hiking or trekking. The material used in the production of the boots is durable yet breathable, allowing for comfortable wear over extended periods. The sole is non-slip, which increases safety, especially on difficult terrain. Additionally, the minimalist design in black makes the boots versatile and easy to match with various styles. It is also worth noting the comfortable insole and cushioning, which contribute to greater comfort during long walks. Overall, Mil-Tec Chimera Mid is practical and stylish footwear that will certainly meet the expectations of active people and outdoor enthusiasts.

The shoes are comfortable and light, but the laces are irritating because they come undone from time to time no matter how tightly you tie them. I'll have to replace them because they spoil the comfort of use.

Boots tested in action. I took them to the Formoza Challenge obstacle run to check them out. It turned out they are really light, even during long runs. As for the sole’s durability, I can’t say yet as I’ve only had them for 2 months, but in terms of grip, after soaking the boots I was literally able to walk straight up a wooden wall with a rope that was also wet and sandy, so a HUGE plus. No damage, as expected from real military boots. I was surprised when I entered water and kept running; of course, I had a lot of water in them for about 10 minutes, but then somehow, miraculously, it disappeared despite the membrane that should keep water inside. Many advantages for this price. I recommend them.

The laces keep coming undone on their own. After a month of use, threads are coming loose in many places. The boots are definitely not suitable for the summer period, as they make your feet extremely warm. Overall, a bit disappointing.

I recommend.

-

-
Great quality, perfect size. Comfortable. I recommend.
-
Solid shoes. Lightweight. Fit well on the feet. Don't smell. Durable. I recommend them.
-
Great shoes for any terrain. However, after two months of use, the right shoe heel started to "creak"..... Other than that, everything is fine with them.
-
Very fast delivery. Shoe size matches the size chart posted on the website. Color as in the picture.

The shoes are outstanding. At first, you need to "train" the insole to your foot shape. Then the shoes become very comfortable. The color is quite different from the one in the picture. But aside from this minor flaw, I recommend the shoes for any terrain and probably any weather.
