Waterproof tan boots

    I'm looking at a complete Multicam loadout in the near future and to complete the head to toe loadout I need tan boots (black boots + Multicam = FAIL).

    There are many tan boots on the market, but I'm after waterproofed ones like Goretex. I've come across Belleville 590 boots (US Marine Corp use them) from many sites in the states, but are there others available locally like the Magnums?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Not if you stand in the water for a minute or two, but in getting a proper dip the water doesnt get in., their great boots and pretty cheap too, i think they can be had for about 60-80 quid., the only one thing i would say bad about them is, playing in muddy conditions in swede material boots, the muck sticks and the boots get really heavy., but they are supposed to be for the dessert so meh., :)

    Protac seem to have Spiders in stock at 99 euro. Might pop in next week on the way to Dublin.

    I can't find any other stockists on the net that are cheaper landed that actually have them in stock.

    Thanks Gatling, I'll look into that.

    Magnum Spiders are in No.1 Win position atm, but I won't get them until I assess all options as is my modus operandi.

    spray paint the boots tan with airsoft gun spray paint, probably not a favoured option =P but a team mate of mine has done that and it has worked aces, so if you have boots already, give that a shot so that extra money is not spent =)

    I have a pair of black Meindel Eagles and they're comfy wih very little break-in time if at all. Got mine int he great outdoors for about €150?

    I should imagine that the desert eagles are the tan version of same.
