Quality Price Value Solid enough combat boots
Good cadet boots for my son - he was happy with them. Polished up well for first parade in uniform. I also got free next day delivery. Definitely recommend to other parents... -
Quality Price Value These are NOT genuine issue British Assault Boots
These boots are not the original British Army Assault Boots. I spoke to the company and they are reproductions. I sent these back and got quickly refunded. Just wanted to let other customers know that the real British Assault High Leg Boot are not made anymore. British soldiers now wear Alt-Berg Defenders, Haix, Bates or Magnum boots. -
Quality Price Value Good Lightweight Boot
I've had theses lightweight assault boots for more than 12 months now so I feel its time to write my review. After I first got them they took some wearing in (I walked to school in them for a bit which helped). The high leg design does provide good support and has stopped me twisting my ankles a number of times. I've used the boots on exercise and for expedition training and walked loads of miles with no problems. They always polish up well after a good clean and I would recommend to others. -
Quality Price Value Poor quality copy
Just what is this boot meant to be? At this price I was expecting a new official MOD item. What arrived was a non-reinforced sole boot with no real toe protection. The stitching down the back of the boot was loose in parts and allowed the leather to flex/move far too much. These boot should be on sale for £20 or so. They box they arrived in had been re-boxed for return. Don't waste your time on these. -
Quality Price Value Comfortable and easy to break in...
These boots were comfortable and easy to break in. There was a problem with a split in the sole after 4 months of use but Cadet Direct offered a replacement and I've had no problems since. -
Quality Price Value Sizing a bit too small for me
I received the boots, they are really very light which is perfect but unfortunately the size is coming up a bit too small. I bought same model as before in UK size 10 which normally goes well, but this time they were fitting smaller. Should write in the description to order one size bigger. -
Quality Price Value Best Boots
My brother first got these boots for cadets in 2010 and used them for about a year. Then I got them after him as I joined cadets and I've loved them; they're really comfy and have lasted a long time and I only need to buy a new pair now. My feet stay dry and they are easy to clean and polish. -
Value Quality Price Best online assault boots
I had been looking for black assault boots online as we have to wear black boots at cadets and these were definitely the best I could find. We had to send some back to another supplier before finding these ones. Sizing is good on these and they look like proper assault boots to me. -
Value Quality Price We bought these from the Cadet Direct website
I've had these boots since September and they still look good and are comfortable. One thing they don't keep your feet dry forever in the field when raining as the leather does eventually get wet once the polish is washed off but I hope to get some waterproof ones for exercise use. -
Quality Price Value Do the job
These are OK boots for parade and fieldcraft as we are only allowed black boots in our detachment at the moment.
-
Price Value Quality Indestructible
I must have owned at least 4 pairs of these boots since I started sea cadets and they are virtually invincible. The only reason I actually had to get new ones is because my feet are to big and nothing else and if that happens then you can easily sell them to another cadet for at least £25 as all you have to do is polish them a bit and they will look like they did on day one. -
Value Quality Price Good
After 3 months these are still good cadet boots -
Quality Price Value Buy these boots!
Bought these boots for my son in Air cadets and they seem a good fit and the Squadron approve the style. -
Price Value Quality The ideal boot for a cadet.
I've owned a pair of these boots for an extremely long time (around a few years) and I can honestly say they were worth every penny. The boot is extremely durable and can easily withstand field-craft exercises, long expeditions and long hours of drill practice. In addition they look superb when you give them some love with polish and will make you look extremely smart in parades. They're relatively comfy to wear providing you have the correct socks to prevent blisters etc. .Overall it's a brilliant boot, a bit on the expensive side but if you wear boots often then I'd highly suggest getting yourself a pair of these. -
Quality Price Value Combat boots- outstanding
Incredibly easy to get on with, and very easy to break in! This year I am carrying out the 2016 Nijmegen March with Plymouth and cornwall wing, air cadets and these have prevented many blisters! I would and have recommended this product to all of my friends at my local unit. -
Price Value Quality Hardcore originals
These boots could survive nearly anything. The rubber on the soles is really tough, and takes a long time to wear through.
The leather is prone to cracking but will last a long time if you polish them regularly like a good cadet, and let them dry slowly at room temperature instead of on a radiator in in an airing cupboard.
They are pretty hit and miss with how they treat you feet. I've had blisters from these (particularly at the back, above the heel), but also days where they've seen me through without a scratch. They WILL punish you if you take them on a long trek without breaking in first.
Great all-rounders. There's a reason they were issued to troops for so long. -
Quality Price Value Very sturdy
For the price paid I found these were a very good buy, have had them for about 2 years now with little wear. Would recommend -
Quality Price Value Arrived next day
I bought these boots and have used them for one camp and I must say I thought they are more than adequate. -
Price Value Quality Great Boots
These Boots have lasted me over a year and they still look fine, they're super comfortable and great for marching. And from own experience they are waterproof. Very satisfied. :) -
Price Value Quality Positive
These boots have lasted me a long time, good for marches, excersises and also, once polished , surprisingly waterproof. -
Price Value Quality Would recommend them
I would recommend these boots to more junior cadets who attend an average amount of camps/ events. I have had my pair for just under 4 months and they are preforming reasonably well. Once I've grown out of them I'm looking forward to getting some Altbergs though. -
Price Value Quality Three years before soles wore out...
Had these for three years now, have been excellent. But now the soles on both boots have begun to crack, allowing the sole to bend the wrong way, no longer waterproof and a bit unstable to walk on. However I may buy another pair as they are excellent whilst they last! -
Quality Price Value Very Good
I bought myself a pair of these about 5 months ago, and they are still in basically ship shape condition. A great pair of boots for cadets starting their cadet career. -
Quality Price Value Perfect for Cadets
These are good boots, fit for purpose but not exactly great for longer durations. Polished up well and were comfortable. -
Price Value Quality Simple and effective
These boots although an older style and not nessesarily as comfortable as some more modern options have proved themselves to me. My previous grafters boots died after a year but my combat highs have lasted 3 years of pretty consistent use and are still going strong. They also look much better than the more modern boots. If your contingent is still in black boots these are the way to go, especially if you can get them from stores
