akka Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 If anyone is on the lookout for a new pair of decent boots, take a look on here, militarymart.co.uk I was just about to drop a couple hundred on a new pair of boots as my old ones had finally died. Then I saw this site. I picked up a pair of Meindl SF Mountain boots in A+ condition for £80. They arrived today and are brand new, well pleased with them. Also lots of other quality boots, Altberg etc. BTW I have no affiliation to military mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 If the boots are brand new unworn then yes, a bargain. I can't get my head around anyone buying or wearing second hand boots, no matter what make. Once broken into your feet they're of absolutely no use to anyone else. Some would say damaging. The military issues almost everything a second time around except boots and that's for the reasons above. Your feet support you in all things and need looking after. I wonder how many people would consider using second hand glasses just because they fit on the face and look the part. Or maybe second hand toothbrushes? Look after your feet, you'll be sorry when you can no longer use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
