Fond memories!

When I was a lad my old man and myself wore the Clarks ankle length brit army desert boots. Many years ago we lost our supply.
My dad buys similar looking pairs wherever he finds them, but I'm on the look out for some proper surplus stock.
Has anyone come across them? Unfortunately I'm a size 13, but can maybe get away with a 12.5. Which doesn't make getting a pair any easier!

Have a look at the DW's sold by HM supplies, I use mine a lot in work and out and find them great, they're very similar to the design of the old Clarks ones but they're a bit higher in the leg and at £18 you could do a lot worse.

HM supplies are a company that specialises in selling kit to the Military, I use their shop in Brecon, but I understand that their mail order service is very good.

I get the ones with the Gillie tie and I absolutely can't fault them, hard wearing, quiet soles, supportive due to the higher leg in normal use. Very Good bit of kit. Good Luck
