stevie4568

Osmosis Jones

no there is no postage

stevie4568

i would not recommend cheaping out on boots especially if you intend to use them for activities other than airsoft

Lemming

+1 to what Thermo said. Look after your feet and they will look after you. There are only two items of kit for airsoft you really shouldn't skimp on; eye protection and footwear

i sell hiking boots and one thing you should never do is spend to little on boots walking and hiking especially.
spend enough to have comfortable, quality boots and they will repay you.

hmm thanks for all your input guys could you give me some good brands that are good for the feet and ankles? don't know all that much about them:P

Osmosis Jones

I've just heard that magnum are a great brand and i hear under armour are after doing a combat range of gear including some good boots

stevie4568

nice ill do some research on magnums, and could you link to that under armour page please?:)

Osmosis Jones

theres also meindl but mostly over priced or too expensive.. nice boots though

stevie4568

ok ill be a bit more specific, affordable, not cheap but not 100 pounds for a pair, thats a bit out of my reach:D thanks for all your replies by the way guys:)

I use a pair of Meindhl Eagles; gortex beasties and expensive yes, but commmmmmmmmFY, and worth every penny for it. Mind you, for an average Saturday/Sunday skirmish such boots are overkill. If you're off for a weekend (or longer) event, or you are planning to do so in the short to medium term future, I would seriously recommend you revisit your wish to not spend money on boots since it may well become a matter of short-term false-economy for misery down the line. Your feet will thank you for it afterwards.

Don't forget about water resistance, especially if you'll be playing in the Winter. The lower end Magnums don't seem to bet very water resistant

dont get me wrong id by a high end pair of i had the spare funds, but thats exactly the problem:P

I've got a pair of Meindl Army Pro's and they are awesome.

thermo

meindhls are without a doubt one of the best boots around, ive had a pair for approx 7 years and still going strong.
