>>501188Aren't those the new German army boots and lighter than the ones before? I still got mine (previous model) from when I was conscripted in 2006, and they weigh 2.35kg (5.2 murripounds) combined. Never had an issue with that though or felt I was carrying a heavy load, so I don't get all the fuss about light weight obsession and "x kg on your feet equals 10x kg on your back!!!"
