Converse Tactical Boots.

Altbergs are the way forward mate,

Ive had a few pairs and they are quality, although they are probably a bit more money than the converse ones

I've had a few people tell me to try Altbergs and just as many tell me not to bother.
The Sneeker Aqua was the ones I looked at buying but 2 Army friends said they were a stupid design as when they came to attention the laces on the inner surfaces got tangled. There's a few reveiws stating the same thing if you google it. My thoughts were if they can tangle they'd be no good for me walkin through bramble bushes and stuff so I gave them a miss.

Never had that problem myself.

Ive got a pair of defender microlights, had them for about 7 years and they were used daily whilst in the army.

My other pair are bog standard defenders bought when i joined the police and worn daily since.

Both a just about ready for a resole and the uppers are still in very good condition.

I would say that the ankle and leg area is more flexible than say Lowas but i prefer it, and for what you want them for it wouldnt be an issue

Thanks I'll certainly be taking a closer look at them after these Converse.

I would try and have a look any boots and try them on before you buy, as they are a lot of money if you arent totally happy with them.

Only place i know of that stocks a lot of Altbergs is John Bulls at Catterick, which is only a few miles from the factory.

Bit of a way from Wolves though

I like the SWAT range of boots have 3 pairs one safety one waterproof and their top end combat boot

My boots were delivered at 8am this morning. Unfortunately I wasn't home so the kids got to them first. Here's my youngest son modeling them. lol

No, not really. My father does, I just tag along. I enjoy loaning a pistol and having an hour or two on the range but nothing serious.

Presumably you mean an Air Pistol....?

No.

One of my fathers gun club friends is a collector of old flint lock pistols and rifles. Some are six feet long.
They sneak me in for an hour or two and I help with loading. I fire the pistols sometimes, mad things they are.

The target is 20 meter away. FLASH, BANG, MISSED.

How the hell anyone ever got shot with one is beyond me.

Boots Update:

Great boots, comfortable and tough. Suprisingly water tight too. BUT, they squeak when I walk/run.
