What boots would/k/ recommend in the sub-$100 range? Have a 3

>>30654510
If you spend any less than about $130 for boots your feet are gonna get JUST'ed

Save up and get yourself some Danners. They last way longer than anything in my experience. Worth the price. I am army with 10 years in and an avid hunter. Not uncommon to cover 30km in a day

Not OP, but I've been meaning to get into the modern boot game too. Just recently taken up firearms as a serious hobby (beyond just collecting surplus) so I'm still new to all this geardo shit.

What are some actually good boots? Reasonably priced, at that. I'm on a budget but I'm not beyond saving up for a few weeks for a quality product. I've heard names like Merrel and Solomon but no idea where to really start looking.

These are decent and on sale

They last longer than dinosaur fossils.

$80-90 bucks a pop. Combat proven over and over again. I'm not a rube either. These were the best for jumping since they provided excellent ankle support.

Grade 2 (essentially just broken in for you, Grade 3 is actually worn a bit so don't cheap out) surplus Desert boots. $37.50 for a pair plus shipping; deals don't get much better for $150-new boots.

You can get the Bates RAT boots for about a hundred on ebay. Same concept as the Danners, but had a problem with their glued soles coming undone. Supposedly fixed now, but not sure. I can't speak for the Rats, but I know my 922's are spectacular.

>922's are spectacular.
I second this. Muh SEAL Tropicals all day everyday.

>buying used boots
>not understanding that the leather breaks in to the way your foot is shaped and the way you walk
>Willingly owning a piece of footwear that has been permanently altered to support a foot and gait different to your own

Why do you enjoy hot spots and blisters, anon?

I've started looking at the 922's. They look pretty great for the price. What's the contrast between the more 'classic' military-style high-ankle boots VS the borderline running-shoe looking ass ones a lot of HSLD dudes use?

>implying desert boots are leather
>implying OP didn't state use would only be backyard operating and occasional range and innawoods
>implying $38 for quality boots worn by (most likely) some POG in a Post Office with no actual wear is a poor choice
>implying implications

Second for Danner

They have a sale once a year, got my current pair for $30

>>30654831
>$30
I would fuck a rabbit in public for $30 Danners.

>>30654510
I dunno about rothco, but I can personally attest to eBay selling belleville for under $50 new if you can get an auction won, I found wellco boots that were like blemished or something, best boots I ever had. Got one pair for $50, another pair for $35. They list on Amazon for like 130 and up I believe. I wear them everyday, first pair lasted over a year before the heel of the sole started detaching. I'm gonna have it fixed because there is nothing else wrong with them.

>>30654719
Not that anon, but I personally will never ever pay for or wear used footwear ever again. There's no reason. Especially since sites like botach have name brand boots under $100 like every other day

Merrel moabs are 10/10

Bates.

Anyone else use moabs? I find hiking style boots to be the most comfortable. It's no wonder operators use them.

>>30654510
Get danner tannicus, you can find sales where they are less than 100$

Not sub-£100 but I fucking love these boots.

OP here

I hadn't looked at 5.11s, and their Recon Desert boots are marked down to $99 right now... seems like a pretty good deal.

got these boots, real comfy and are quality

>>30657068
Honestly, they can't be beaten on quality as far as I'm concerned. A while ago, I had a pair of 5.11 boots that I never really took care of and really put them through their paces. They held up great and lasted me a very long time.

>>30654568
What particular model do you have?

>>30657128
kek that pic the comparison is so unreal. One is a hobbying law abiding American and the other probably blew up along time ago
