£22 for a pair of army patrol boots? Wow, what a steal and almost unbelievable....

The best person one could befriend in the military is the supply sergeant.... Grin

Just leave 'em in a motel room like I did once, long ago. They'll get broken in allright, just not by you.

I'd rather no other bugger touched my boots. Last time someone did that they left a scorpion in it. Oddly enough Stan the Scorpion developed a serious addiction to fried Spam. He was lovely Grin

I have fond memories of zillions of shops, long ago, where you could purchase all manner of WW II ex-Army, etc, < 1945 equipment for very little money.
As well as clothes, boots, etc, I purchased all sorts of ex Military Radios/Transmitters and various electrical and test equipment.

A Garden shed full of it!

All first-class quality.

The odd thing is Fozz that I still use '44 pattern water bottles and pouches on my webbing as the plastic '58 ones aren't as good IMHO Wink

Ozzy, I know the term "bloody" is nigh a British trademark but, when told to leave tracks, the usual meaning is with imprints on the ground. Are you aching for another real long trek?

Did you not get a week or so at a processing unit to break in your boots before hitting basic training?

When I entered - quite some moons ago - we got our military attire at the end of the processing (scalping included); we marched in our rainbow accoutrements until then.

My favourite boots for my Motor-bike are my ex Dutch Army ankle boots, which I bought many years ago, and have had them re-soled since. They now fit me like a glove...

Like a glove? Did the original owner have very small feet or is that all that's left of the boots? Ouch... now you can give someone a kick in the face -- with your hand!

Fozzer wrote on Jan 8^th, 2012 at 11:57am:

When I bought them, they still had a Dutch Army Soldier's left leg in one of them...poor Chap!...!

Since you don't certify the leg was in the left boot, was this fellows demise due to not knowing if he was coming or going - did he meet his doom pretending he was running the other way?
