Got myself a pair of Magnum Amazon 3 boots from an army surplus stall at an event a couple of weeks back.
They were 2nd hand (the name of the squaddy who had them before was written inside
) but almost brand new.....no damage to sole or outers, brand new laces etc.
I'm wearing them on the bike even though they have no hard protection......They won't be waterproof, but in this hot weather, I have to say I love them
Designed apparently for Military use in the desert, they are light and by a LONG way the most comfy boots I've had......they lace up really fast one pull and they tighten right up from top to bottom the way I have them laced) and they are very secure on my feet, as they come up well above the ankle.
I'm primarily using them as ride-to-work then work-in boots, and they meet the safety standards (so the bumph says)
Very happy with them, and in dry conditions when touring two up, I'll be using these from now on both on and off the bike
The best bit?
They only cost me a tenner
(Oh, and I can drive the car in them as well......I've got a couple of pairs of work boots that are too wide to do that safely in, with my big feet (size13) but these ones are slimmer and slightly narrower toed)
(first pic I could find, sorry)
