My walking boots need replacing. Think I am going back to good old fashioned leather boots. Gore tex boots just stops working in a short time, and just not worth it.
So back to Norwegian army M- 77 boots. Nice non slip sole, all you need is to get them large enough to wear some felted wool socks in them and your feet are always toast.
There is some more maintenance, but a good shoe brush and a tin of KIWI will keep your feet dry for many good hours...yup...thats what I want.

They look pretty sturdy. I used to love my german para boots, I had two pairs last me ten years between them. i think they would have lasted longer if I'd looked after them better. anyway they were so hot and heavy in the summer so now I use walking boots. but they're nowhere near as solid feeling.

My mora has served me well but I am getting a replacement custom made for me, Osage orange handles, kinda like the mora #2 but 01 and 1/8" thick. I am very excited as it will be my main carry neck knife and get a lot of use! I will post a pic when the guy is done, but that is about it except some ferro rods I might be getting soon

They are not to bad witha decent insole and a pair of thick wool socks in them. The outer sole, is very grippy and non slip, but that comes at a cost. They tend to rot away after 4-5 years. These are sold by civvy retailers, but what people used to do back when everyone did national service, was to nick a pair when we had done our one year of millitary service. When it was worn out, you just gave it to a friend or a relative who was doing his bit for king king and country, and he would take them to the depot and replace them. That way you had free boots for life, lol. But you had to start off with a pair of genuine millitary issue with the correct stamps in them. The ones sold on the civillian market are the same, but lack the stamps.
