  I can't say. Much will depend on the needs of your feet i.e. how high your arches are, if your feet are low or high volume etc. Best bet is trial and error in this case

• 
  @combatboots1013 ай бұрын

  If we consider a mountaneering boot with virtually no flex as 5 and a sneaker as 0, then these are a 2.5 once broken in. In my opinion.

  I’ve had and used mine for 5 years now. My only complaint is that the cushion in the footbed is fairly thin. Otherwise it’s the most comfortable and quiet boot I’ve owned. I’ve had no issue with laces or squeaking.

  I ended up buying a new looking pair of these from ebay for £42 in a 25% off deal. I wear them every day. They are suberb boots. It feels amazing to wear such a high quality item. I might have to choose something lighter for a long, grinding, 3-4 week trek.

  Do these fit true to size or should I order half size larger?

• 
  @combatboots1014 ай бұрын

  I would say they’re true to size. Haix also have a feature on their site which recommends the size based on your foot length.

• 
  @flexramram3.023 ай бұрын

  I would recommend half a size larger. The shoes have a sole which you can take out. There is a marking on the sole. If your toes are over the mark, the shoes are too small for you.

  Excellent review, thanks! I never served but mine have survived prolonged backpacking trips in West Africa and the republic of Georgia, along with general mistreatment. I concur with pretty much everything you said, although I found grip on soft surfaces (deep loose sand and mud) to be suboptimal. On rock with a thin layer of sand - a much more common surface in desert environments - it's perfect though. I know the Elite Evo is also used in some militaries but indeed, it's hard to come by useful reviews of it. Curious about the new Breacher too, it seems to be something in the same vein.

• 
  @combatboots1014 ай бұрын

  Cheers, you’re welcome. It’s proven difficult to find a boot that gives me the confidence to jump around uneven terrain with 25+ kg on my back and yet not feel like a ski boot as this one does. The Breacher looks very promising but I can’t find any info on whether it uses the same last as the Desert Elite.

  I recently visited your KZread channel and was impressed by its visual appeal. However, I noticed several areas that could use improvement. One significant issue is related to SEO, particularly the optimization of your tags and tag volume. It seems that you haven't given them sufficient attention or completed them adequately. This can affect the visibility and discoverability of your content. Additionally, there may be other areas that require attention as well.

  @TakeResponsibilty2 ай бұрын

  Before you discount these boots, remember these are for military use, not really for civilians to buy. You will be fitted and issued by the QM with boots, spacers and liners to fit your feet. You don’t have that service as a civilian. What the review didn’t note is that the boot doesn’t have a Gortex lining for a reason. Once the boot is breached, the last thing you want is a Gortex lining. They will take an age to dry out. No good if you want to wear them the next day. They have a Cambrelle lining that’s basically 2-way wicking. Never polish Defenders, use the recommended Leider Gris. Best boots out there, if you have a proper fitting service and know how to maintain them.

  Some things I forgot/didn’t convey very clearly in the video. 1. Polyurethane (PU) is durable and is not affected by water in the first few years after manufacture. 2. PU can survive past its use by date provided it’s kept totally dry. 3. After this point the decay of PU is significantly accelerated by water & humidity as was the case here.

  For the support and protection these provide the weight is a fair trade off. Those are the only 2 downsides as far as I can see, weight and cost.

  These are true military boots for the conditions in central Europe, no hiking boots. And while you are able to march quite some miles with them on not too heavy terain if you get used to the weight, they have their limits on single trails and in winter on ice and snow. I use them and or the predessesor model on day hikes from time to time for training reasons, i woudn´t choose them for multiday tours.

  Info I forgot to mention 1. The lining is Cambrielle, non waterproof but designed to draw moisture away from the foot. 2. Comes in full sizes only as is typical for British MOD boots. Half sizing is achieved via a spacer (second insole designed to take up volume in the boot and thereby make it feel like it's half a size smaller). 3. I wore out the original insole a while ago which is why I didn’t show the current one.
