my singapore Gore tex review:
pro:
panama sole really good multi purpose soles.
die die will grip like siao in mud,wet grass and off road.
Self cleaning, mud very hard to gunk up the whole sole.
6mm bb pellets WONT get stuck in sole.
gore tex ... great breathability, great for rainy days.
Great for the wet winter in Taiwan.
Great show off item when i Airsoft.
looks real formal .
cushion rox compared to taiwan boots.
Super comfy compared to taiwan boots.
great for hiking/mountaineering in Taiwan.
con:
Sibei slippery on shiny polished tile floor.
not 100% waterproof, not for river crossings.
ex. 100SGD can buy merrel gore tex.
no desert(brown ,tan) color avaliable
mine start to have signs of leather and glue cracks after 1 yr.
(normal?)
artificial leather scratches very easily.
trust me, if you get bridgedale merino wool/coolmax socks to go
with the GT boots, you will DUMP the army issued socks, they suck
major balls.Weakest link in the foot system.
