“Best boots for the money. Comfortable, waterproof, no sweaty feet and great service as usual.”

“Great boots. I have been looking for another pair for quite some time and was very pleased to find a pair on the Forces Uniform and Kit site at what I considered a good price. I am typically between a 10 and 11 UK sizing depending on brand, the 285 is a good fit with normal walking socks i.e. might be a bit snug with extra thick socks. The boots were indicated as the second to last pair in stock. On inspection they look to have been subject toin very good condition, light use only, with no significant marks or damage and significant life (tread) left in them representing what I consider good value for money. Accurately delivered as per the posted timescales. Would be happy to order products again from this company.”

“Almost perfect condition. Hardly with at all. Comfortable after breaking in. The real test will be when the summer comes, but very satisfied with these boots. Recommended.”

“Excellent condition (borderline unissued quality) no marks on the top and tread looked near brand new. I bought these to replace an older pair of Paraboots which were also size 285 I am however a UK size 10 to 10.5 the paraboots which a friend had bought for himself (he's a size 9.5) were far too big but fitted me perfectly. The Desert boots obviously don't accommodate thick socks so consequently these were too small for me however not a complete loss because my aforementioned friend was considering buying a pair of these himself so I re-ordered size 295 which did fit perfectly. Moral to the story, I should have ordered the correct size boots.”

“Arrived quickly and in good condition. Haven’t had the opportunity to really put them through their paces (no pun intended) but comfortable generous fit. Looking forward to spending some time in them. Good service.”
