Was all set to finally buy a pair of some dutch brown boots from warren for my airborne loadout when he realised he only had size 9 in stock. Been trawling around ebay and the web etc with no luck at all. SOF i see do the repro jump boots for £65 but was hoping to spend a chunk less than that. anyone know a surplus store etc that may have some?

failing that will have to get some from SOF or ATF

NOT SOF!!!!!!! How many times!!!!

ATF boots are good. Worth spending the extra money on IMHO. Probably the most important piece of clothing you'll buy really.

yea problem with ATF is by the time you factor in postage(at least £20 for the boots) and then the likely customs charges things get pretty expensive.

Yes, they are US sized in the boot which is one above UK sizes.

Ah explains a lot, they really hurt my feet when i 1st wore them, but after the 3rd time they were fine, and I would say theyre the most comfortable boot ive ever worn!
