>>1361344I can't complain about the German Army '02 (got issued when I did conscription back in the day) and '05 models (bought on eBay for €100 when the former gave up after 10 years of moderate use), always comfy after a short break-in period, never got any sort of blisters.
They're about 27cm/10.5" high.
No finicky, intricate designs on them make them quite durable, though some have complained the sole coming off after a couple years (have had the '05s for 2.5 years now and no signs of that yet).
Another downside for some might be the weight (2.3kg/pair without insoles) but this never bothered me personally
