Looking for Bushcraft Boots

[TROOPER]

Hope one of you eagle eyed schrafters can help; does anybody know of anyone that makes a similar style of boot to the BISON BUSHCRAFT BOOTS but that come up the leg higher ie 8'' to 10'' as i cant stand low ankle boots and want a decent pair of leather summer boots.

Any Suggestions?

What sort of price range you looking at. I use "Le Chameau Moulfon plus"



But they are on the expensive side, although mine have lasted nearly 10 years so it kinda works out in the long run

Cheers man, but i was looking for something a bit less like a modern walking boot if you know what i mean, i'm being fussy i know but i want a light weight all leather high boot preferably brown without fancy trimmings if that makes sense. Something like this

therogue rbk tracker sounds like it would suit if you could find some

Whats the fundamental difference between say a pair of these and say a pair of issue army boots or some German para boots???

I find british army boots bloody uncomfortable, they don't come in brown and most importantly you have feel for the terrain etc for tracking, same goes for Jerry Para boots but they are more comfortable, basically i'm being fussy but i want some boots with feel, if you understand where i'm at.

No I don't understand the bit about tracking and feel..... Can you explain??

What are you tracking???

Meindl Desert Foxes are pretty good for the cash and they're not black

You can give Brit issue boot a lovely brown luster by polishing then with..........brown kiwi polish.

Build quality I'd say, these Rogue boots look a little 'fragile ' in comparison.....
Probably be fine in dry summer conditions though

Butterflies

Rogue boots are certainly not fragile.

'Bushcraft Boots?' sounds like the marketing folk at Bison have been watching too much telly.

You could do worse than look at Chippewa logger's boots, or telegraph engineer's boots. I hear that they're comfy and lifetime-serviceable: and they're tall boots. You'll probably have to order from the US or Canada, though.
