    Looking for some cheap boots, enough to last a while.

    They should be between 25-30 euro and do not have to specifically designed for airsoft but would prefer is someone could vouch for them

    DON'T buy chaep boots. Save up buy a pair of magnums they are an entry level military boot and start from €60-70.

    You don't want to skimp on your boots. They keep your feet dry and they stop you from breaking something. If you could raise your budget to maybe €50 you might get a decent pair

    TK Max (Yes i know :rolleyes: ) sometimes have decent enough hiking or treking boots for sale. You could try there.

    What ever you do get a pair that fit you and something with good ankle support. :)

    I've actually seen Magnums in TK Maxx the odd time. It's rare though.
    Protac, in the Curragh, have Magnums at good prices. You can find them on their website, www.protac.ie, or in their store.

    These are pretty good and cheap, although still out of your stated budget (which is crazy unrealistic, to be honest).

    Airsoft is likely to be the area of your life where your feet and ankles will be most in need of quality assistance, not least. A lot of rough terrain and not paying much attention to where you're stepping.
