Check out desert boots, bates, converse, altama, blackhawk.
And remember, if you pay 40$ for a pair of boots, you get a pair of boots worth 40$. Boots are the one thing in your kit you should always spend some extra money on.

I just need to know if magnums work well in forest/woodland conditions.

-Skeletor- November 5th, 2007 19:17

I've used them an they work alright, depends on the terrain if its really broken uneven ground they kinda suck, least they did when I did a ruck march through tank ruts, etc Dunno if any boots would have been good for that though lol.

But overall they've been pretty good for me. SWATs are another boot I've heard good things about, lots of guys in BN got them.

I have a pair of magnums they are great. I think they are either Stealth's or Storm's. Ive had them for over a year and abuse them like crazy as I use them for everything. Strange how come people say they aren't waterproof, I never remember by feet ever being wet. I also only spent about $125 after tax, new.

Indeed it was a shameless plug. They are a shade of green though. Cross between tan and OD.

Dakota Traditional Hikers with Crater Outsole are what i use. Got them from marks for $100.. I hike with them, and use them for everyday use.. Very, very comfortable

Phobos November 6th, 2007 19:22

Cool, thanks Lithium. I'll look into that.

Altama ExoSpeeds..

I have the desert version for summer use and the black waterproof version for fall/winter. Awesome boots.
USCav had the waterproof Exospeeds on sale.....landed at my door for just over $100, including shipping via UPS.....(yes, UPS)

Highly recommended.

or you can just get a pair of hickers, which you could wear them all the time...now that is more practicle...I got Merrell with are extremly comfortable....

Phobos November 6th, 2007 21:19

I REALLY want some Magnum Phantoms..Do you guys think i'd be okay wearing them in the forest? Perhaps check out a pic of them so you can see the bottom, they look like they would give good traction. Tell me what you think. http://www.magnumboots.com/tacticalboots/5515.html

Another for the Altama Exospeed. I've got the side zip ones (wear with good socks when it's dry, Sealskinz waterproof socks when it's wet). They've lighter then my street shoes, have great ankle support, and are very comfortable. After along day of getting shot up, everything hurts but my feet :D

What about sizing? Which boots go by your regular shoe size and which ones require a size smaller than regular. I ask because I want to buy some online.

-Skeletor- November 6th, 2007 22:14

From my experiance military boots like Jungle an Desert are one size smaller than my shoe size but Magnums are the same as my shoe size
