I bought these shoes in 2022. I have been wearing them practically every day since then. Used in field conditions on film sets. At the beginning, when I had to walk about 30km in the forest every day, they caused a lot of pain, blisters, and difficulties. However, after breaking them in (in the first 3 months I walked almost 1800km), they performed excellently. I'm in my fourth year with them, and now they are already worn out and need to be replaced due to cracked leather and hygiene reasons. Despite the difficulties at the beginning, I highly recommend these shoes!

Protektor Grom Boots Brown
Protektor Grom boots are specialized footwear engineered for military and tactical operations. Drawing on tried-and-tested tactical footwear designs, they serve as an excellent option for uniformed personnel requiring footwear that is robust, comfortable, and highly functional. Crafted to perform across a wide range of urban terrains, these boots deliver both stability and protection in fast-paced and demanding operational environments.
High cowhide leather upper
The upper section of the boots is crafted from full-grain cowhide leather, renowned for its exceptional flexibility and resistance to abrasion. Reinforcement throughout the construction comes from impregnated nylon components, which also ensure optimal ventilation. A high upper is complemented by a soft velour collar that enhances wearing comfort and prevents calf chafing. With a rear height of 50 mm, the collar offers increased foot stability and injury protection.
Foot protection and support during movement
The heel and toe areas feature additional layers of leather and rubber integrated over the sole, delivering reliable protection against bruising. The wearer’s feet are shielded from impacts with curbs, protruding armor, rocks, or other hard surfaces. Injury risk to both the inner and outer edges of the foot is minimized, which is crucial during demanding activities in challenging environments. The high, integrated tongue enhances the shoe’s defense against water penetration during splashing, ensuring superior foot protection in damp conditions.
Flexible PU sole
The sole is crafted from polyurethane (PU/PU), offering excellent flexibility, outstanding abrasion resistance, and protection against oil, grease, as well as diluted acids and alkalis. The tread pattern is engineered to ensure reliable grip on a wide range of urban surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, cobblestones, and gravel. Owing to its thoughtful design, the sole ensures fluid and secure movement on both level and inclined surfaces, such as stairways and ladders. The 13mm heel provides enhanced stability, essential for navigating uneven ground.
The sole’s antistatic and slip-resistant features guarantee safety when walking on slick surfaces. The direct injection method used to attach the sole to the upper delivers superior durability and robustness to the overall construction.
NATO-certified manufacturing quality
Protektor S.A., the producer of Grom boots, holds the AQAP 2110:2006 certificate, confirming adherence to NATO standards for the quality and performance of military footwear. This certification ensures the boots align with the highest requirements demanded of tactical footwear built for rigorous use in extreme environments.

S... Review confirmed by purchase
For people looking for cheap, lightweight shoes – it's worth it. Advantages: + low weight + genuinely comfortable + you can jog and run in them without worrying about chafing Disadvantages: - not suitable for rainy days or forest paths, as they collect water through the membrane - I had three pairs, and the soles cracked near the toe of the shoe in all three between the 11th and 12th month of use Overall, these are decent shoes, but definitely not good, as they do not withstand NORMAL use for long enough.

I bought them in December 2023 for my son as another pair, because he was very satisfied with the first ones. The first Gromy have already been through quite a lot, but they turned out perfect. He didn't take much care of them. But apart from being scratched, they protect feet very well. The foot does not get tired after many hours of walking in the forest and mountains. They work well in transitional seasons and in winter. My son highly recommends them.
-
I bought them in August 2024 and I can already confidently say that these are the best shoes I've ever had. They work well both in 30°C heat and in winter conditions. They fit both OSP barracks uniforms and jeans. If you impregnate them, water and snow are no problem. Super versatile shoes.
-
Another pair, great value for the price. Used daily, mainly in the city. Quite light and very comfortable. I recommend them, for this price many people in my unit use them.
-
The price has increased and I'm considering changing the model at this point, but after a year of intensive use, I can say that for the price of 260 PLN, these boots are a dream. Much has already been written about them and I can confirm it all. Warm, waterproof. If you take care of them, I think you'll get 2/3 years of daily use and then a new model, which I rate as a great result.
-
The shoes are just great. Comfortable, dry feet even when stepping into a puddle. The price has gone up now, but when I bought them for 300 PLN, I really regret not getting another pair. They're just great.
-
Bought for longer forest trips. They work very well, durable, do not let in water. Great material and a Polish company, which is also a plus. I would just recommend buying insoles, because during longer hikes you get blisters.
-
The boots withstand activities in difficult terrain. They allow you to walk safely on ground full of stones, sticks, etc. They are high, so they protect quite a large surface. They are comfortable and even several hours of wearing them does not cause much fatigue.
-
Terrible shoes, zero cushioning, after a short march feet and toes hurt as if after a many-hour trek in difficult terrain. This is my opinion and several friends' who also use them. Apparently, the black Grom models were completely different, comfortable, and eagerly purchased. I do not recommend these brown ones.
-
Bought over a year ago, I wore them in the Egyptian desert at 40 degrees: they worked. Winter at -10, thick socks: they worked. It's not the perfect choice for either situation, but for 300 PLN (the price I paid), they performed well. They're reasonably waterproof, although they let water in above the ankles. They are comfortable to walk in, at least 25km without a problem, probably another 10km with insoles.
-
A very pleasant surprise, very comfortable and light shoes, they fit well on the foot... For years I used Haix... but whatever, reading users' opinions I decided to try and as I wrote, a big surprise. I recommend!
-
Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the sizing. I have a pair from the same company but in black and with a membrane, bought about 6 years ago, size 43, and they fit perfectly. I ordered size 43 in brown and they turned out too small and narrow... I put them on with quite a thin sock, so what would happen if I wanted to wear thicker ones in winter... I returned the shoes and for now will hold off on buying a bigger size... maybe in summer when the current shoes from WOT are too warm...
-
The best combat boots I've had. I used the previous pair for almost 6 years in very different conditions—from heat to snow, from cobblestones through the floors of various cars, construction sites, and workshops to forest mud and swamps. The leather remained in surprisingly good condition (and I only took basic care—washing and waxing). I tried other boots but returned to Grom Protectors.
-
Great shoes, look good on your feet, so you can use them both outdoors and for everyday wear. I've already tested mine, and now bought another pair for a friend. Definitely worth recommending.
