MAX PERFORMANCE !
I ’ ve chosen the boots here not because they are the cheapest out there but because in my opinion they offer great value for money , and between them will have you covered all year round other than in mountainous areas in full winter and all will provide maximum performance for your money ; for “ true winter ” you ’ ll need a more specialist mountain boot that is crampon compatible , and that ’ s a whole other ballgame !
Now do bear in mind that these boot models fit my particular foot-shape well and may not be so ideal for you , but I hope I ’ ve given you an idea what to look for when you come to buy ; when it comes to buying boots go to a specialist tactical boot fitter , or the top outdoor shops and outfitters will be able to offer a very good service in relation to precise fitting when it comes to the civilian models . If you ’ re after a dedicated military model then your local tactical store is the place to go .
Buy right , buy once even if you are “ Daddy Bigbucks ”, and if you ’ re usually broke like most shooters I know ( including myself !) then getting it right first time is a bonus !
