In the past couple of days, I have been looking more into getting a new pair of boots. I've been swearing by the Mk IIIs with SOLE insoles for the past year and change, however, in Gagetown this past summer, I got involved with a lot more people with non-issued footwear. And for Phase III, I would like a pair of boots that will take the strain and keep going, while not chomping my feet to bits. The SOLE are great, but the Mk IIIs are still not my favourites, so I figured I'd go and try out some new boots. Figured being the operative word. It seems like no-one north of the 49th parallel sells military / uniform boots, at least more than a couple of different pairs. I went to Bass Pro in Vaughn Mills, and while their site offers a HOST of different military style footwear, their actual in store selection was dwarfed by hunting paraphenalia. Looked at Danner Acadia's and...Stryker's, I think, but they seemed a little tight in width. Whats this no half-size nonsense? Anyways, I'd love to know if anyone around the GTA knows a place that sells these boots retail? Magnums, Danners, Matterhorns...whatever. And a decent selection would be nice. Heck, I'm willing to drive as fall as Buffalo or even Detroit if there's somewhere someone can recommend. Ordering isn't an issue, but I'm fussy...I don't want to order before I know how a boot feels.
Ideas? Thoughts? Brainfarts?
PS. I searched. And searched. I found no places in ONTARIO that sells retail. In store. I can order no problem, but retail is another matter.
