Does anybody here use the above boot from Meindl?
http://www.meindl.co.uk/products/Military/74/Desert-Fox-Safari-
Our forces are currently using these around the world and I have read a few good things about them.
Looking ahead to upcoming trips these boots would really compliment my current footwear in covering the 'warmer' side of things whilst hopefully providing better support etc than a standard hiking approach shoe (which I currently use).
The reason for looking at these is that here in the UK you can get a pair of surplus stock for approximately £30 ($45).
Any thoughts/comments appreciated.
Im mostly concerned with how they perform whilst driving, wicking ability, breathability, warmth etc. I did read somewhere they were goretex lined, but this seems to be only some I have found. Not sure this would be an advantage for the use this boot was designed for.
Cheers,
G
