hmm... would be nice, but i just wrecked whats left of that boot after a 5 day long hike though the ardennes. The back side of the soll apparendly wasn't as strong as the stiches and now there is a huge u shaped crack approsimate 1 cm from the side and back side of the boot. Large enough to stick you fingers through. I already wondered why mine feet got as wet as it did..... <img src="images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

i decided i would buy some reasonable cheap civilian hking boots, since im still growing and don't want to buy expensive shoe's and throw it away after light ware, because i have grown.... a lesson i learned on the hard way while buying BDU trouwsers, went from XS tight and S comfortable to M tight and L comfortable. had to throw 6 BDU trouwsers away in less than 18 month's because they were to small...
