Combat Boots / School shoe recommendation

Postby shakespeare » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:58 am

Since I'm in charge of my own school shopping this year, and I basically wore my Altama boots to school the whole of last year anyways, I'm looking to buy a new pair of boots for airsofting too. I don't have a ton of cash to spend on em, maybe 100$ or a little more. I prefer tan boots and it would be nice if they were waterproof for the winter. I have to be able to get them online due to the absence of any stores carrying a lot of boots. I have been looking at Belleville and Bates. Does anybody have a recommendation on a particular model?

Why do we need another " What boot shud I git?" thread.

You aren't budgeting enough for "good" boots.

Since I have answered this question several times I will refer you to the search feature.

Good day.

I really have liked my Blackhawk Warrior Wear boots. Mine were on sale and I got them for around $100. Check this thread, 2nd post down on page 29.

Go for the Danners you won't be disappointed. Or you can go for Nike SFB if you can grab a pair. Then people will ask why are you wearing boots. And your can be like, these aren't just any boots these are Nikes. Hell I bet you can play basketball in em.

I wish I could grab some Danner factory seconds, but I can't get up to Portland :(
haha, the SFB's could work, but nobody down here cares if anybody wears boots, I live in a slightly rural area :)

But didn't you start this thread asking for recommendations on what boots to buy? I'm confused.

In a different thread, some people mentioned that the brand "Response Gear" manufactured quality boots at a reasonable price.
