    Beats the East German Cavalry Boots from a few years back!

    I like the "already broken in" line...their copywriters know how to spin positively!

    Sounds good and looks good but they are too small. I need at least 13W.

    Interesting - boots with military terraining.

    As Swiss Army boots are there a bunch of little gadgets hidden in the heel?

    A great find & a great price, to boot...

    When I was stationed in Germany, we saw some German soldiers with rabbit fur lined boots. I think those would be pretty nice if you could find them. The Swiss ones should do you very well. Enjoy!!

    My Bro-in-Law works for them. Those look great. I might have to give him a call, and that is a FANTASTIC price! Good find.

    "...Weigh 50 ozs. apiece..."
    Ouch! I think I can feel the calf cramps now. :crap:
    The heaviest boots I use are the Chippewa® 6" Cap Toe Boots at 28 oz. each.

    Not nearly such a bargain though.
