Review for model:

I think the shoes are very good for their price and what they offer. They are very hydrophobic and keep water out effectively. The only problem is probably the shoelaces, which are too long and easy to step on.

I ordered two pairs, for myself and my husband. As for comfort and moisture wicking, they’re great. Unfortunately, the durability is much worse. The shoes were only used in urban conditions. Despite this, after half a year both pairs are worn at the top by the lace eyelets. I expected better durability from this type of shoe...

Very well made. Foot size 42, shoe size 42 = the shoe fits perfectly. There is a bit of room left for a thicker sock. I'm only concerned that the laces at the bottom go through straps and not metal elements—I don't know if this strap will eventually break sooner or later. Not yet tested in rain. Just in case, I will spray them with a waterproofer.

A pleasant surprise, the price is very attractive for such quality. A week of hiking in the Bieszczady mountains did not defeat them. They’re really water-resistant—even after rain and wandering through various streams, the inside remained dry.

The shoes were bought not too long ago, so they haven't yet undergone a real "battle" test, but you can see that the price-to-quality ratio is at the right level. I do miss some kind of "handle" at the back to help put the shoes on. The exchange for a smaller size was completely hassle-free—in fact, Militaria could be a model of how this should be done. I recommend it!

Sturdy and solid. Walked in the forest in the rain, they did not leak. Despite the high temperature and the membrane making moisture wicking harder, feet (and socks from the set) didn’t get sweaty. If you lace them up through all the eyelets—whatever you call them—they hold and stabilize the foot well. However, for an unaccustomed foot, this causes some discomfort, though it’s probably a matter of getting used to it. For this price, 5/5. We’ll see about durability.

The shoes are well made, nothing rubs or pinches, the sizing is accurate, comfortable even after several hours of wearing, everything as described—at this price, nothing left to do but buy.

+Polish manufacturer +Nice appearance (a bit of a shame there’s no black version) +Sizing is accurate (I took 44 for insole length 28.5) Tested on a long walk - doesn’t rub the heels, feet stay warm, and after walking through fairly deep snow, socks were still dry :D I recommend!
