Yes it was the'' VIPERS'', On close inspection there were Tatty scuff / Rub marks on the Suede, the Glue was visual at the Sole to Fabric joint and to make thing's worse the Eyelets were all Plastic. But the Box was nice and looked ok from 5mtr's.
I actually like the look of the Mil-Tec ''SQUAD'' 5 Low boots in Brown, Any owner's / user's of these ?.
As They look like they'd be a alright everyday boot, But my only concern is the 3 Suede eyelets / loops.
Cheer's
A friend had a pair.
They had atrocious soles, especially if you use them as an everyday boot.
The problem is the material the sole is made from. When it's wet, if you step on something like a bit of metal (i.e. drain cover etc) you will slip on it.
Very dangerous.
OK, so not so likely to happen in the woods, but in case you do wear them in town...
Truth is, you shouldn't really scrimp on footwear.
The last thing you want is knackered feet.
I know it's attractive to find a cheap product that does the job well, but often things are cheap for a good reason - corners have been cut.
On some items that may be a compromise worth making.
But not when it comes to your feet (or, for example, a helmet if you're a motorcyclist).
I know that's easier said than done if money is not so available. But there are some decent boots in your price range.
I don't know what the best boot for you is, but I would advise to stop looking at the budget brands.
Think ankle boots mate.Please let me know about these boots if your in the know, as I've been reading the Spec's and they say that there 6'' High, does that mean from underside of the Sole or From the inside of the boot.
