I had some not so long ago the boots were great waterproof insulated only problem was the sole disintegrated after a week, mine may have come from a bad batch but they were brand new in box when they came and were current issue so watch out. hope this helps
are they a generous fit? or about as you would expect? i wear a M fitting standard assualt boot with thick socks or 2 pairs of thinner socks, looking at a pair of L on the bay, are they gonna be mahoosive?I have been wearing mine a lot over the winter, no problems so far.
Very toasty even in the snow.
PREPER........
Just got a pair, waiting to get them on and see how they fair, to be honest heard a few bad things about the sole.
i have heard bad press about the soles, but thought that was the pro-boot that this current one has replaced? is it not the case? the pro-boot was basically an assualt boot with goretex lining, and the soles crumbled? no? this current one is the copy of the lowa combat boot and has vibram soles, do vibrams crumble? i thought they were mutts nuts?

The boots are not issued instead of combat assault boots just for cold weather and tours, a few of the guys reckon they are good one or two had crumbly or splitting soles, to be honest they will be made on a budget if the MOD has anything to do with it and issue boots have historically been poor in comparison to other available boots. I am looking forward to getting mine on next week to test them so I will give you an update in a few weeks.
Would these boots be ok for winter in Norway? I had the old initial issue Pro Boots years ago for Norway and they were fine. But I haven't got any experience with this boot.

is this for me?Did you end up getting a pair of the gore tex pro boots? Been looking at them myself and just wondered if they are worth the cost.
