Describe Yourself: Professional/Guide

Was this a gift?: No

These boots were great when the weather got colder in Kabul. Even in Stockholm at -15c there was no feeling of cold. The Gore-tex regulates the moisture so you never get that cold foot feeling when you constantly go in and outside during cold weather. The boots are not stiff and would be bang on for hunting and hiking. These boots work best with wool socks, I added green inner-soles but the originals are great to. Don't mess with another boot these are the best and you look professional too.
