Reasonably lightweight, full leather mountain boots, among friends simply known as Alpschuch. High-quality shoemanship, not usually seen with such a low price tag. Used military surplus from the Alpine country.

Features

These black army boots look quite a bit like the Austrian KAZ 03 boots, but they are somewhat lighter. One boot weights c. 920 grams / 2 lbs (43). The larger ones naturally more and the smaller ones less. These are full leather boots without a lining or a membrane, so they breathe very well. Originally designed to be used in the mountains but they also work on flat Earth, too. The soles aren't any stiffer than in our other regular army boots. The Welt-construction enables resoling, which is usually available with a lot more money involved. Speed lacing familiar from hiking boots.

Condition

Used Austrian military surplus. Some have seen less use, some considerably more. However, they are all intact and the soles aren’t worn out either. With proper polishing, you can make them look quite nice. Of course, if you want pristine shoes, buy brand spanking new ones.

Note that army surplus boots don’t usually come with insoles and even if they do, they are usually crappy. Get a pair of good insoles, e.g. from us and you will be happier.
