I bought these shoes for hiking with a focus on offroad (I have wide feet - these are some of the few over-the-ankle boots that fit me). I walked about 60-70 km in them over fairly demanding terrain (over several outings) and after waterproofing them, they held up even in some light swampy areas (it was only at the point where the tongue is sewn in that water started to leak in). I had a minor accident in them (a large, sharp piece of metal fell on my foot, a bit like dropping a knife point down). The metal cut through the boot's leather (beyond permanent repair), but it saved me from having to get stitches on my foot. The boots ended up at a construction site where I spent entire days walking on scaffolding and ladders, clearing rubble, and carrying stacks of bricks and blocks, etc. After walking several kilometers, my feet didn't feel overly fatigued (I weigh about 135 kg, plus a backpack). Same for some construction work - a whole day with the boots on and no problem. I RECOMMEND THEM.

After watching many of your opinions, I agree that everyone can find some flaws in a product. However, it's worth remembering that the items available here are not intended for professional military use – they have different material density and weave compared to military gear. Interestingly, there are also products of the highest quality available here, but due to the high price, few people are interested. Not everyone, especially beginners, knows that a complete set of gear, including boots that meet military standards, can cost over 600 euros without additional equipment – these then use specially developed materials that meet national and international standards. In my opinion, this online store stands out among other so-called "military stores" with a good quality-to-price ratio and offers equipment for every need and budget. 👍

The shoes work great for my purposes, even during workouts. They are lightweight and water-resistant (it's worth treating them with a waterproofing spray before first use), which increases their durability and helps with keeping them clean. This was a successful purchase that is worth its price. However, I don't recommend them for winter – these are shoes strictly for three seasons.
-
The shoes are solid and provide great ankle support. They turned out to be lighter than I expected. They are very comfortable to wear. I can't wait to see how they perform in deep snow.
-
After walking about 200 kilometers, the soles wore out. Not usable in winter—any amount of snow and you couldn’t walk, it was like an ice rink. Other than that, they are comfortable and lightweight...
-
Light and airy shoes. Comfortable and well contoured inside. Aesthetically made without defects. The sole provides good cushioning and grip. Critical parts of the shoes are reinforced.
-
I got them for the front line. They're quite soft and break in quickly. With continuous use, after a while your feet sweat, and the shoes themselves get soaked after spending a day in mud. I had to replace the shoelaces after a month of use. I'm very satisfied with the boots. They handle extreme everyday conditions easily, and they're comfortable for running and covering long distances. For this price, they're definitely the best choice. When buying, keep in mind that they're unlikely to last several years, but they will definitely last a full season at their best.
-
The shoes are quite okay, at first glance they look excellent, but after about 2 months of usage with no exaggeration—just basic conditioning marches and tactical exercises—the entire inside in my case tore apart. I don't see the point in buying shoes at this price only to later pay extra to repair them. It's better to buy something of higher quality for around 100 PLN more.
-
Great footwear and most importantly, they give the impression that after the first walk, the shoe fits the ground perfectly. For me, it's important that this is a quality product. Its price is low for the quality. It's worth buying and recommending. I recommend others to experience this product as well.
-
Great, charming boots with a high upper. I took them not only for hiking, but also as street shoes, so they are a good choice. Very versatile shoe, so I bought this product without hesitation. I recommend it.

Mil-Tec Combat Boots Gen. II - Black I currently wear them during summer evenings for fast walks with my dog in parks and woods around Pruszków. Even though they are so-called High boots, it’s not a problem—in fact, it's an advantage. They stabilize the foot at the ankle and calf. I put in an extra insole because they are loose at the toes and heel, although visually it does not look like it. They do not become untied, which I consider an advantage. Many shoes need to be retied after a few or a dozen kilometers. Combined with good socks, feet always stay dry.

Great shoes, I'm curious how long they'll last, but I use them every day and I'm satisfied—nothing pinches, they're comfortable, the ankle is stable. I highly recommend them.
