Anybody out there know anything about old Swedish Army kit?
Day-dreaming about going to the Arctic again with the Sub-Zero Crew, I'm thinking about getting my own boots and was interested by the (very good) article on Paul Kirtley's blog - http://paulkirtley.co.uk/2012/how-to-dress-for-the-far-north-on-a-budget/
-that recommends the old Swedish army ski march boots. So I was up for a buy when I saw these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260987653115?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 - on the bay. They look the same, but these are described as work boots that have a steel toecap, which I would have thought was a bad idea for the serious cold.
Anyway, can anybody help me out here, please?
BTW, I have one of the British Army balaclava's mentioned in the blog, that anyone can have for an SAE - PM me if interested.
Cheers, Ted W
