Re: jump boots
They are sm wholesale boots, I got a pair Cheap from sof as I think they wanted rid of them, I put hobs on them and they aren't too bad, I've a pair of all the second patterns doing the rounds and I wanted a pair to thrash and they fit the bill. They survived a week in beltring rain,mud and everything else so not to bad, I agree the rubber over shoe binding a bit large but I can live with it, they are very comfortable.

Re: jump boots
I got the cheaper pair that one can normally get for about £115 or so (such as the one from Epic Militaria) and I found that they are great, I used them for private use as well and they have held against pretty much everything. Sometimes price is not what determines what is good. But to add a lot more wear to them, I had a shoe maker apply a thin layer of rubber on the sole and it has made them that much better. Some may groan if I kneel down and one can see the sole, but I swear by it that it's 100 times better to walk with as there's no more slipping around.

Re: jump boots
No a bad idea, I went on arse in my hobnails, tore a ligament in my knee and still hobbling around.
