Baltes is a great company, they make all sorts of boots for the military and firefighters.

@MikeB128 5 лет назад

Yeah I was extremely happy with the quality. It's what you expect from a German company. Glad I managed to get a pair!

@Andyb2379 2 года назад

I’ve just got a pair of these in the UK. They are super grade surplus. Having worn a repro pair for Vietnam rennactment, which totally destroyed my feet in an hour. These are phenomenal absolutely second to none. It just screams Quality. They are fairly heavy for jungle boots but the build is just incredible. You’ll have to do some serious hiking to wear these out.

@Rokaize 5 лет назад

Improved US jungle boot? That is extremely high praise Mike. US Jungle boots are fantastic, maybe I might try these out.

@MikeB128 5 лет назад

Yeah, they're quite nice. And you know I love me some US jungle boots, but these are fantastic.

@lukaszimmermann2215 Год назад

The best military boots i know are 80s/90s german army boots. They were made in east Germany 100% by hand and are of extreme good quality.

@ragnarrthorsen2792 8 дней назад

I'm in the UK. I have had a pair of these for years. Great boot. Very comfortable once worn in, and great in the field. I'm ex infantry and swear by these.

@Dashi18n 5 лет назад

I have a tremendous number of boots and these are one of my favorite pairs. I still need to break them in, but once that’s all set in done they’ll shine

@Jazzman-bj9fq 2 года назад

I just got myself a pair of these today, been wearin' 'em for about 4 hours around the house, love 'em! They fit like legit Army issue which I'm used to from 20 years ago and I'm lookin' forward to ruckin' in them and breaking them in. Good stuff, not like the Rothco or Altama crap.

@johnevans1613 Год назад

Get a pack of compeed patches, just in case, until they're wearing like trainers. 9/10 at least.

@justalurker3489 Год назад

Huh, I thought the modern Altama boots were supposed to be good?

@johnevans1613 Год назад

Just got a pair about a month ago. A bit of breaking in, but now they're a perfect fit.

@RavenLakeStudios1 Год назад

Just moved to Florida and need to find some. Im going back and forth between this and the US one

@redharlaw2782 5 лет назад

Got mine from pre-order. Fit great and will only get better once they’re broken in across the top (where the laces ‘begin’), speed laces are 5*, all day comfort for my days off under jeans and quality product.

@MikeB128 5 лет назад

Agreed, that's where I'm at too. Slightly tight around the beginning of the laces, but not bad. They should break in amazingly.

@DanSnipe-j3c 7 месяцев назад

Awesome review.

@wisenber Год назад

The problem I see with those are the drain holes. Jungle boots have drains, not vents to allow water to exit after being submerged in a jungle environment. The Baltes boots have vents instead, and their height allows water to remain in the boot rather than being squished out with each step. Jungle boots aren't supposed to be waterproof. They're supposed to allow water to exit and dry faster than other boots. A waterproof boot holds water n as well as it keeps water out, which is not what you want when your crossing streams above the top of your boots.

@imonly8354 2 месяца назад

That's just theory, I've worn us jungle boots and these baltes ones and they puch water out the holes the exact same as each other

@jamesonsomers8680 5 лет назад

German engineering is a class unto its own, might pick up a pair for myself.

@math1ass10 3 года назад

Lookin for boots for use in heavly forested areas. Even for just regular walking, since in regular rubber boots the top is open and there is no way to close it, so snails and stuff falls in and its horrible. Looking forwards to buying this.

@WildMustang51 2 года назад

How did they do?

@johnevans1613 Год назад

Oh yeah. I paid £30 abot a month ago, and after a small blister on my right heel breaking them in , they're great. Again.

@danielheldmann5240 3 года назад

Look at the Bundeswehr Baltes S3 concept! Safty great!

@theoxmountaingang2585 4 года назад

Wish I could get a pair but don't have a 100 bucks to spend at the moment

@Zukefly 4 года назад

Just barely got some, good thing I have a pretty unique shoe size

@s_vb2220 3 года назад

the Belgian army is going to change there boots to a new model in april 2021, you might be able to snatch some of the old one up.

@jacobburkard8612 5 лет назад

I bought a pair already, it's good shit, if you offer them again I'll buy another pair mike.

@trollmcclure1884 2 года назад

"antistatische" I like being grounded. The ones I had issued in the Czech military were giving me blisters. Probably Prabos brand. If you say this Baltes model is comfortable I'll buy them online. Otherwise I'd need to count an extra centimeter to my foot for a thick winter sock. Not ideal for a summer boot but maybe I'll do it anyway. It's always better than being miserable from having small boots

@ohnenamen2843 5 лет назад

The best of it’s kind

@MikeB128 5 лет назад

I don't know if I can argue with that. So far, so very good.

@hupaolochang7285 4 года назад

i have a pair of US jungle boots,wich i appreciate more than "modern" belleville hot weather boots issued to the USMC i like them because they are lightweight,quick drying (faster than aforementioned boots),and surprisingly comfortable,wich makes them my favourite boots for summer outdoor activities unfortunately,they are getting worn,so i'm looking for a substitute question is,how are these germans,compared to the US?

@mak7str 2 года назад

ery painful boots. After 3 kilometers the heel hurts. The back rubs the wound. I hope after breaking boots, legs will be feel fine.

@MikeB128 2 года назад

Yeah, boots are supposed to be broken in. Don't be such a giant pussy.

@ilikehelmets4079 5 лет назад

These are some of the best boots I own but I have nothing that matches them so I look funny while wearing them :D

@MikeB128 5 лет назад

If I'm wearing them out and about I just tuck the pants legs over the top so they just look like every other boot.

@lifeasadreamrecords4479 2 года назад

are they waterproof below the drainage holes? like are they ok for small streams/puddles etc

@rachavya Год назад

The design philosophy of the "Vietnam" jungle boot is expect water to get inside; focus instead on how quickly the "vents" serve as DRAIN holes. Also, the US final settled on so-called "Panama" soles, which had very deep but widely-spaced lugs, such that mud would not collect but instead be shed easily.
