i paid $12.99 for a brand new pair with tags for my x they was small like a 5 or 6 at Tippecanoe ...... if you can get blacks or whites new or in good shape for under $100.00 it's a steal. i seen these boots in treebark camo made for Screaming Eagle archery of Montana owned by Paul Brunner at the time .Paul had a contract with them. they was a very cool looking boot ..
Okay, I gotta ask. What’s the deal with these boots? I’ve been hearing about them for a few years now, but don’t know anything about them other than people seem to really like them. And what’s the thing on the side?
That knob is an air vent - these were originally made for the Air Force. They needed to be able to "depressurize" the boot due to altitude changes. I don't really know how or what they're made of,
but they will keep your feet very warm and dry. I usually just wear one pair of socks with these and my toes stay toasty. They're magical.
How waterproof are these boots? Thinking about going to my local army surpluss an checkibg them out.
I would want to use them for my fall/winter fishing and for ice fishing. Walking through alot of mud an high wet grass an fishing in the rain i hope there waterproof.....
white ones are rated way below 0 degrees and usually called arctic boots - black ones are rated a little below 0 degrees - we wore them a complete shift in the army and inside it gets warm so we opened the valve to cool down the feet - very water proof and durable -
just curious, I have been wearing a black pair for years I love them for ice fishing, they have a lug on the back for cleats, they're great. But how does the letting air out of the bladder help you're feet cool down?
Most likely. Spent days on the ice with temps below zero before the wind chill in black mickies and my feet were sweating all day.
Like tinknocker said they are well worth the investment.

Bet they helped at the SEAD airfield...We only had the std. combat boots there...Pretty cold when you got stuck in the tower....
