Best Boots for Combat Sim, Hiking and Military use?

Best boots for Combat sim, hiking, and general use?    A lot of people have a favorite brand of boot when it comes to military service, camping experience or outdoor activities. I am one of those people.  I have some recommendations, tips, as well as complaints. Here are a couple of options that range for […]

Alpaca Wool Socks, Summer Comfort From Hollow

I think I’ve said it before but, it’s STILL hot here in NW Florida and we’re just getting into August when your clothing gets tested the most, especially your socks.  If you’re on your feet all day and you don’t have good socks the problems will count up quickly and you don’t want to have […]

When the Tough Get Going, Their Feet Lead the Way

Boots get all the attention when it comes to protecting and pampering your feet but they shouldn’t. It’s a team effort when it comes to keeping you going in the field, you have to have a good supply line, good comms, leadership, teammates, and in order to keep yourself moving it’s good boots AND good […]

Surviving on Your Feet is Easy With Garmont T8 Falcon’s

You ever hear the line, “it ain’t easy being green”? Well it ain’t I’m 6’7″, flipper sized feet, piano fingers and a big hat size all crammed into one body walking around trying to make my way in the world, and some days I get the feeling the world just isn’t made for people my […]

A New Take On the Updated Salomon Xa Forces Mid Boot

Proud to present an article from Leland Keane, our gear review guru from the Nova Scotia. I read Steve Balestrieri’s review in Loadout Room from 2019 on the Salomon XA Forces Mid-Boot, with interest when planning to write this review. The boot in his review is similar but not waterproof. -(https://loadoutroom.com/117606/a-green-berets-take-on-the-salomon-xa-forces-mid-boot/) I purchased the XA […]

Blauer Clash 6" Waterproof Boot: A Step Ahead

Blauer Clash 6″ Waterproof Boot: A Step Ahead

The Blauer Clash 6″ Waterproof Boot is a step ahead of other duty boots with technology in a boot that works, is long lasting, durable, waterproof, breathable, lightweight, and comfortable. When I first received my Blauer Clash duty boots, I was on vacation from work for a few weeks.  I was impatient to start wearing […]

Darn Tough Tactical Light Cushion Sock

Darn Tough tactical boot socks vs. other brands

Socks, the topic nobody really focuses on until it’s too late. Rangers (and pretty much all other SOF or light Infantry types) spend a lot of time on their feet. The importance of a good quality set of socks cannot be understated. I’ve used socks from a variety of companies and have put them through […]

A Green Beret’s take on the Salomon XA Forces Mid-Boot

Okay, so anyone who knows me or has read any of my articles in the past knows that I am and have always been a huge Merrell fan. Owner of too many pairs to count, Merrells are my go-to boots for anything. But that may be subject to change. I like to scan and read […]
