Savage Island Combat Boots Black Leather Side Zip Army

These are awesome. I didn't know what to expect as frankly I've been wearing addidas and lowas for years. When my lowas were unexpectedly distroyed by a trip in the washing machine (don't ask) I bought these as financially I couldn't justify more lowas when frankly I batter shoes at work and they get covered in all kinds of disgusting Ming and ick. I am pretty much a sample size 7 1/2. I bought the 8s becuase these don't come in half sizes. I think next time I would get a 7 just becuase these are too big and are getting bigger where they are leather and they stretch. They are a little bit sweaty but frankly so is every boot I've ever tried. I think I'm just a sweaty person. I don't think I would recommend these for any kind of really intense, running, jumping, climbing, obstacle coursing but for daily wear so walking, driving, occasionally running and a whole lot of sitting. These are perfect. Easy to clean, water resistant (enough), fast drying and light. I would estimate they would last me maybe 6-8 months (but I am TOUGH on shoes) and my expensive £100 + ones we're lasting me maybe 12-14 months. So financially these make much more sense. (Not for the environment...) Edit to add picture and 6month update. I have had these for around 6 months. They are battered. Soles have worn through and are peeling away from the uppers so not waterproof anymore (they are also not sweaty anymore). Also the velcro has come off the zip cover and laces are a bit broken. Attached photo shows present condition. I am a slob and don't look after my shoes properly and when I do polish them it is will the black sqeezy stuff. They are COMFY but fit more like a Welly than say a trainer. They don't hug my foot and I can feel my feet and ankles wobbling about it them. Also if I do anything too strenuous my socks fall down and I have to pull them up again. BUT the zip up side is wonderful. I think I've always been a bit snobby about zip up boots (maybe becuase I do like a more snug fit) but the zip is sooooo convenient. I can just whip them off to; pull my socks off or when I get in or if someone asks me to inside their house. So I've been gifted lowas for my birthday and if money was no object, yeah I'd always get a big brand but if I had to pay out of pocket. I'd definitely buy these again

I've been wearing these for about a month and they seem good. They feel solid and are comfortable, keep the water out and look good. I generally wear them on 12 hour shifts and I enjoy wearing them, the quality is good, especially for the price I paid. I like the added side zip, it makes them easy to get in and out of.

I was expecting these to come with a steel toecap, as the picture of the boot clearly shows the boot to have an internal toecap. Never the less these are a nice fitting and comfortable pair of boots. I've been wearing them nearly everyday since I bought them in February 2019, so 4 months in and they're still going strong as they should, nothings fallen off, collapsed of broken - yet (nothing lasts forever). I have inserted a gel insole into both of these as the steel shank does nothing to help the fatigue in my feet. The only real problem, as others have mentioned, is the nylon stitching on the inside, at the top of the zip, it is very rough and continues to chaff on my legs, if I don't roll the tops of my socks over the rim of the boots - this also stops my socks diappearing down inside the boot and working themselves off of my feet as I wear them. For this reason and because the boots in the pic appear to have a steel toecap and these don't, I have dropped the boots 1 star. But I find they are still good value for my money. If you want to increase the waterproof qualities of this boot, spray them with Fabsil (the same stuff used for canvas/nylon tents), spray them all over, including tongue, zip, nylon panels and lacing area and let the liquid soak in and dry naturally. Boots can still be polished afterwards, if needed.

good quality and ok price

I get these for Work on a regular basis, they’re very comfortable and hard wearing and being a diabetic. I find it very hard to bend over to tie my laces. So these with the zips that are fantastic.

The comfort and practicality of these boots is superb... but... and it's a big but, both of my boots split across the boot at the ball of the big toe on the same weekend. I only wear them 5 weekends a year and they were only 4 years old. Awesome to wear and really waterproof until suddenly, they aren't. They don't last as well as they should. Such a pity

I was a bit concerned about buying these for my son for 2 reasons. A size 13 can be very different from trainers compared to boots, and whether they'd fit his calf. He wanted some goth/combat style but they can be so expensive. He loves them! Because the laces can be loosened they fit perfectly just using the zip. They are so comfortable and look great

I bought these boots for my work DEc 2024, not that I do a lot of walking, but they were a better looking boot than the ones provided and the side Zip was also a plus. 9 months later.... what a disappointment... walking out in the rain and discovered a chunk of sole missing and a split right across the sole... I have know idea why... then on inspection of the other sole... that was starting to split too!.. Whilst they are an inexpensive boot I expected more... NOT Impressed!!

Li ho presi per lavoro e si comportano bene, sono molto comodi, facili da mettere e sfilare grazie alla cerniera e velcro. Li sto usando tutti i giorni anche in situazioni di temperatura esterna elevata (35 38 grad) ed il piede non soffre e non suda eccessivamente. Anche se il plantare originale è comodo ho aggiunto un plantare spesso perché internamente alla punta sono molto spaziosi e le dita si muovono eccessivamente causando fastidi, col plantare aggiuntivo di uno spessore giusto il comfort è massimo. Materiali qualitativamente buoni, la scuola non è dura ma abbastanza alta e flessibile e ammortizzata, il tacco è alto per cui per me sono ideali.

Deze gekocht voor lopen tijdens herstel van een ingescheurde enkelband lopen heerlijk zijn stevig warm gaan goed dicht rits is zoepel En ik kan het aan met een brace aan mijn voet even wennen niet mijn stalen maar blij mee Enige min punten de zichtbare lijm laag rond de rand van de schoen als ik dit zie ik een winkel zou ik ze niet kopen

Comfortable, good looking, unfortunately after 6 months sole broke down completely. Therefore, when it rains you probably not going to wear it. Think twice before you spend 50 euros.

Billig und gut . Robust für das Geld geht's in Ordnung.
