Review for model:

One of the best shoes I have bought at this price, the only downside is that at first they rub the heel a lot—in the mountains, after a whole day of walking, I had blisters on my heels which made me stay in the cabin for the rest of the trip. However, after some time they break in and become very comfortable.

The shoes are overall great, but I have two main concerns: 1. There is not enough material where the heel is, and it wears off easily, leaving only the material behind. 2. The hydroguard membrane is so thin that it's easy to tear it, and then it lets water in.

Good, comfortable shoes, look nice in desert color, do not let water in, fit pleasantly on the foot, and have very long laces, which I had to cut.

Hello, the shoes were bought for mountain hikes. Impregnated right away, they don't let water in. Tested on light terrain at 25 degrees Celsius. The sole behaves well on stones, they are warm but not too hot. Time will tell how long they last. So far, so good, I recommend them.

A pleasant and comfortable shoe made of excellent quality materials. Tactical boot made from a combination of durable leather and strong, breathable fabric, making for truly high-quality footwear. This combination provides durability and very good air circulation. Works great for daily use both in the city and in the field. Anyone who understands that good shoes require proper care will be satisfied for a long time. A product worth recommending in every aspect.

Super comfortable shoes, lightweight, provide ankle support. I bought them for airsoft but I also wear them around the city and they really look great. I recommend getting an impregnation spray in the set to take care of your pair.

Comfortable and well-made shoes. Not my first from this brand. The foot is positioned well, moisture does not accumulate inside. After several hours, feet are dry. I recommend.

Excellent shoes at a quite affordable price. Remember to impregnate them right away and I think they will last a long time. Warm and comfortable, I haven't had them soak through yet.

I'm giving my review after a bit more than a month of using them in uniformed service – 90% city, 10% terrain. So far I am very satisfied – they look great and are comfortable, don’t let water in even when wading deep, and show no damage. The lacing system with loops at the very top is a bit unusual, but I’ve gotten used to it and it’s not a disadvantage anymore. I usually wear size 42, but by measurement I needed a 41 and that turned out to be perfect, so I recommend measuring your foot carefully.

The shoes are super comfortable, warm, and look great with combat pants of course. The lace hooks are a bit problematic but you'll get used to it ;) First time testing this brand, I hope I won't be disappointed.

Very comfortable, lightweight, durable shoes suitable for all seasons. I bought them to use while playing airsoft and they are perfect. I recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.

My friend is happy with the boots he got as a gift. I ordered the same but unfortunately, they are not suitable for the tough conditions I work in every day. The sole comes off and frays. But they are comfortable. For everyday walking and not hard terrain, they are fine. Recommended.

Very comfortable, durable shoes, even pretty good grip

The shoes look better in the photo, arrived today and there are quite a few loose threads. A lot of glue is visible at the joints. I ordered size EU45, but the tongue says 287mm instead of 293mm. They're a bit tight, I'd return them but I ordered them abroad and urgently need them in 2 days, so that's tough, but maybe they'll stretch out a little. The suede is quite worn in some places. The toe cap seems hard and solid, the laces provide very good ankle support, which is a big plus. The grip also seems good. I really hope they are indeed waterproof :)

Perfect for mountain trips, airsoft players, fieldwork, and motorcycles. Factory-impregnated. Luckily, because I forgot about it! Even so, dirt did not stick permanently. After cleaning and impregnating, I had a chance to test the waterproofness. I was not disappointed! Rainy conditions are not a problem. I recommend the higher ones for better ankle support and comfort. The lower are much harder and less comfortable after a few hours.
