These are genuine German Army Gore-Tex Desert Boots. They are original military surplus boots. Bundeswehr Field Specification These boots are the official Kampfstiefel, heiß/trocken issued to the German military for hot-weather deployments, such as modern peacekeeping missions. Constructed from thick 2.0–2.2mm sand-coloured suede and breathable nylon paneling, they are engineered to maintain structure under stress. In Grade 1 condition, they represent the high standard of issue gear. Climate Regulation Engineering Under the outer suede, a three-layer GORE-TEX membrane provides total waterproof protection while allowing sweat vapour to escape. An integrated climate ventilation system uses the natural pumping action of walking to push hot air out through collar vents. This makes them highly effective for demanding activities like hiking and bushcraft in wet or humid climates. Heavy-Duty Tactical Sole The non-marking rubber outsole is antistatic, and resistant to oil and petrol, delivering maximum grip on loose terrain. A low-weight polyurethane damping wedge in the sole absorbs impact to protect your joints during long marches. Note that this polyurethane wedge can degrade when exposed to wet cement, so these boots are not suited for construction site work. Equip yourself with genuine Bundeswehr engineering for your next outdoor adventure.
