Military boots for heavy backpack trekking
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2018 4:33 am
Hi, so I want to buy a new pair of hiking boots for heavy backpack travels.
As an Ex-military soldier I spent so much time and marches with Belleville 300 combat boots.
These boots were very comfortable to wear, waterproof and has a great thick Vibram outsole.
Obviously civilian quality boots dedicated for hiking would be a better option for travelers.
I searched for the best brands such as Asolo, Salomon, Merrell, Lowa etc.. And they come with a price tag.
The military boots can cost nearly half the price, and I used to wear them alot, so I have no problem to buy them again.
After a quick look on the internet I noticed there is a big selection of military boots and brands like Danner, Bates.. Rat boots, tactical boots,lightweight boots, hot weather/temperate wheather.. etc..
I'm looking for a quality leather boots for heavy backpacking with Vibram outsoles, waterproof, durable for leg protection, help to avoid slip, and reliable boot that will last long enough.
If you fimiliar with military combat boots, I need your advices.
Thanks in advance
