Patrol Boot

I first bought a pair of these boots when i started out in the Army Cadet Force. They started out as my main pair of boots, but after about 6 months i got another pair of boots, and started using these for field craft, expeditions, and anything where i don't need polished boots, as these are absolutely terrible for for bulling up to a reasonable standard, brush polish works fine, but when you want something any better, you need better boots, this is due to the soft toe caps of the boots, but that just makes them so much more comfortable in the long run. After two years of heavy use, i eventually retired the boots last august, after a 30k+ expedition the soles started to come off, and the grip was lacking, and decided it was time to get some new field boots, but in the two years i had them, they were Awesome, no boots better for that price! If you are a new cadet, or looking for a pair of field boots, i strongly reccomend you get a pair of these! you will not regret it!
