add them to your cart and go to the checkout, it'll give you a price for shipping before you get to the stage of having to actually pay for them.

If the total cost including shipping is under €40, then you don't have to pay customs.

If you are ordering use TNT rather than UPS.

Got my AA M1911 MEU from RSOV today and TNT added just the 21.5% VAT for customs and not all the extra charges UPS throw in listed as ''other costs'.
And it works just fine considering it was in a traffic accident in Germany on the way here.:eek:

I cannot believe that you are willing to buy THE most important bit of ancillary kit online. They protect your feet, one of the most important parts of your body, and as such you should get good quality footwear that fits. When you buy online you can never be sure of proper fitment, as all manufacturers sizes vary. Cheap knock off military boots will be quite uncomfy fitting properly, nevermind not fitting properly. Approach with care.

If you're buying from a site with a good reputation, you'll be fine.

You'll find most Irish shops have a very limited amount of decent boots.

or go and try on a few pairs from an irish shop, then go and buy them online for a lot less.

http://usmcpro.com lots of good brands. where I got mine

Single Malt · 25-06-2009 4:39pm

This is, IMO, the best boot http://www.lansdaleltd.com/prod.php/prod/HANGTX/show/reviews available. Worn at the Gathering for 3 days solid, despite stepping into knee deep water (in other words wet feet), and not broken in (worn the weekend out of the box). I had not a blister, not a sore, over pressured or chafed spot on my feet. The most comfy boot available, and I have worn a fair few boots over the years. I was lucky to pick them up at a reasonable price, in Dub bricks n mortar. Shop around, and if you can afford them, get them, as they will last you a lifetime (replaceable sole). I don'y think I will ever wear another boot after my gathering experience with these:D

tbh i cant really aford those.maybe something for under €100 buy anyway i was doing a bit of thinking and the true fact is that the ones i have are still grand too ware so it would be just a waste money when i can just go and get another gun.

There ain't no need for two pairs of boots alright. When it comes to new boots time consider them (not from that site tho, any shop that has em:D), as they wouldn't be an airsoft exclusive item. Camping, wet festivals, or any outdoor activity that requires more than shoes or runners. I cannot reccommend them enough

evilrobotshane · 25-06-2009 5:04pm

I got a set of these:

and am seriously happy with them. Dead cheap as boots go, yes they're used but that means they arrive broken in, and they're solid and stompy and grippy and waterproof. They'd be good value at twice the price.

if my boots have ankle support is that the most important ?

Its not the most important. The ability to wear them for a day (or longer), without noticing them is the most important. Too much ankle support is a very, very bad thing, as it in itself can lead to accidents due to not having the flexibility to step properly on rough terrain. Never forget that your feet can function just fine without any ankle support. You only need enough support to prevent sudden twist of ankle. If the boot is too rigid, you will fall over instead of twisting ankle, which can be as bad or worse. Good sole that grips in most conditions is more important, as is waterproofing.

Instead of getting new boots (you already have a usable pair) get a pair of GTX socks, as a day with wet feet can lead to all sorts of nasty, from blistering to infection. Also a high quality insole can work wonders on old boots comfort wise for little cost.

Yeah, with all the moving and running etc a twisted or broken ankle is a high probability if you haven't got good support.

I bought my boots in a building supply shop while I worked there last summer, were €50, great boots, good support, comfortable, waterproof (whole foot submerged in a ditch in hrta proved this). Look for boots that are comfortable and support you well, they don't have to cost a bomb.

check out magnum elite II WP (without steel toes cap) @ www.polimil.co.uk
Cracking boots, very comfy and excellent support. Vibram soles and breathable insides.
Top marks

No matter what boot you wear, you're gonna notice that you're wearing them. I can't think of a single boot that has too much ankle support and to say your feet can function just fine without ankle support is utter madness.

OP if you're gonna splash out on a boot, I'd recommend a pair of Lowa Combat GTX's.

Magnum Spider elites are what i use.
Have worn them at times for 48hours or more with no problems. The ones i have are actually a desert boot but they fare pretty well in water too. even front straight out of the box before softening up they were really comfortable. i think their in your budget too.:)
