>>2823210I really like my Alfa M77, they really did a proper good job with that boot.
Easy to adjust the fit, tall enough to do some light wading, fairly light, alright sole, easy to get resoled, easy to care for, between 50%-30% the price of modern leather shell boots...
Not a big fan of the rings and speed hooks, but I can live with it for the price. Exceptionally good at being good enough.
I understand the new Norwegian military boot is set to be introduced in late 2026, but apart from being brown in colour and having a better outsole it looks like they're still sticking with a leather boot, rather than a membrane boot. I'm eager to see how it compares.
If I didn't already have a pair of M77, I might have considered the Swedish Marschkänga 24, which ticks a lot of boxes for me.
