Description

*Note* We have two slightly different styles, where the fastening system differs at the ankle hook offset. Orders will be picked at random.

A fundamental component within the Austrian Army boot repertoire, these robust alpine boots, crafted for the Bundesheer by a consortium of skilled manufacturers, undeniably possess one of the most esteemed lineages in the realm of alpine warfare.

They strike a remarkable equilibrium between classic boot design and sturdiness, incorporating contemporary elements such as swift lacing mechanisms that enhance their versatility.

Internally, these boots boast a lavish interior entirely swathed in top-tier, glove-like leather, while their external shell is fashioned from a resilient full-grain cowhide. Austrian boots have garnered a reputation for enduring multiple deployments, whether passed on to the succeeding cohort of trainees or, due to recent legislative alterations, carried home as cherished mementos by their wearers.

Features:

  • Hook Grommets
  • Constructed from 2mm thick leather, featuring full-grain cowhide
  • Insulated tan leather lining envelops the entire throat
  • A fully gusseted tongue
  • Partially perforated ankle vents allow perspiration to escape while preserving the internal environment
  • Padded Collar
  • Ranging from 10 to 11 inches in height, providing comprehensive ankle support and coverage
  • A reinforced toe cap
  • Equipped with 4 rows of D-rings and 4 or 5 rows of hook-style speed lacing grommets

Great bargain if they have your size.

I've looked at 8" full-grain leather hiking boots that are resoleable for a while, and they're always between $400-600 dollars. These boots are two layers of leather, full-grain on the outside and a plush soft leather on the inside. Their also seems to be some padding between the two layers on the shaft, but it's not insulation. The boots I received are in great condition, the leather and outer soles appear hardly worn. I will replace the leather insoles. I wear a 10.5 (44) in running shoes, but I ordered half size larger in these boots (45), and they're just right with two pair of socks. Also, they are lighter than I expected, but they aren't light weight boots. As you'd expect with mountain boots, the flex is stiff but by no means uncomfortable. I was really concerned that this was going to be wasted money, but thankfully I was wrong. All they need is some boot grease and insoles.
