A Brief History of Waxi Boots 

Patrolling the Mojave makes me wish for a nuclear winter.

I watched this video when it came out, now I've started to get an ad for it. Every time I let it play because I love the intro music lol AWESOME VIDEO!

I love my pair of waxis. They come oversized though however for me that's fine because I can wear them with thick wool socks and get a very comfortable fit.

i bought a pair on a whim. the break-in was kinda painful, but i expected that. thick socks and bandaids helped a lot. after a couple weeks, they were nicely broken in. wore them for spring turkey season, which was a few weekends of walking on fairly level ground though soggy fields and woods. while i was not surprised in the least at how quickly my feet got wet in the soggy woods and fields of new hampshire in may, i was amazed at how quickly my feet dried while wearing the waxi boots. towards the end of the season i developed a new issue, the insole had worn to the point where it was paper thin on the heel and ball of my foot. i replaced the insoles with a relatively inexpensive pair, and wore them with the new insoles off and on for another few weeks. in august i decided to give them a proper test, a 12 mile hike in the white mountains, which was as much a challenge of my general level of fitness as it was the ability of the boots. at the end of that day i was completely worn out, and while my feet were in fact tired and sore, i have zero reason to believe the boots were to blame. for those of you on the fence about buying a pair, just fuckin do it. replace the insoles when you get them, wear them for a couple hours a day with thick or double socks on errand runs, and you;ll have a solid pair of boots that'll keep you going,

I still have a pair, one of my most prized possessions. That and my Aapjas (basically our version of a trench coat) and considering we live in Africa, it was a damn amazing piece of kit. Mine came with a raincoat sewn into the coat.

I own 3 pairs, gonna get another in dark brown to match some RBS I've got. Hey KommandoStore - make a Pattern 84 Battle Jacket! MC, MC Tropic, and *especially* MC Alpine. Cheers!

how do these cmpare to jim greene boots? you mentioned that waxis are hand-made made by a family-owned business, it would be interesting to know if it's jim greene who also are family owned. btw, jim greene makes boots for wildlife rangers in south africa.

Just wish I didnt have to pawn off a kidney to buy one.

This is not actually a goodyear welted boot. Its called "stitch down" construction.

As a South African that lives near a Surplus store...that whole kit would cost me under 120 US dollars...execpt the gun

Been trying to look for the wanderlust song on youtube, is it not on yt. If so where can I find it?

When will the waxis be back in stock?

If only they were available in my size (US:12 4E width)

😎😎

Was this filmed in the Badlands?

my husband owns 3 pairs of these boots i understand what he brought them

I took my standard issue combat boots, had the std sole removed and flat soles fitted....
