I've worn Corcoran, GI Issue Combats/Jungles, UK Issue Combats, Matterhorns etc, etc. After 24 years in the US Army and USAF Security Forces I've worn out a lot of pairs of boots.

Retired in '91, and recently took up as an Army Cadet Instructor in the UK. Bought a pair of Lowas on a whim after hearing they were a good boot (and being retired I've got money to burn I didn't have on active duty).

Simply put, they are the "dog's bollocks" of boots. After dropping in a pair of Sorbethane foorbeds, I wore them for a long weekend on Dartmoor. Not sure how many miles I covered with 75 litres of kit on my back, but these were somewhere between wearing a really comfortable pair of slippers, with a pair of running shoes with the finest ankle support I've ever come across.

Man those fellas at Lowa can make a pair of boots.

Anyone looking for the best in soldiering footwear need look no further ... Lowa has cracked it!!
