Hanwag Alaska GTX boots,

I must say that these are a damned good pair of boots, and when worn with the right socks, are worth there weight in gold, there sold at Track 'n' Trail in Edmonton, heres a link -

The same maker also produces the Hanwag Special Force GTX in black, I dont know how good they are from personal experience but if there as good as the boots I got, i will definatly buy a pair, once im in the reserves

Why? I hate to be a kill-joy, but don't expect to be allowed to wear them...

arent they fine, if only worn on excercises, you guys talk about getting Danners and the like, which are aftermarket boots.

as for buying the boots as soon as i get in, it probably wont happen, realistically it will probably be sometime down the road (This sept. If all goes well, il be in the Reserves for a while, have done basic over the summer  and have moved out with a place of my own and be going to college). For the first few months anyway, I will have bigger priorities than better boots.

It's complicated.

But no, don't expect to be allowed to wear them, particularly not in any domestic reserve operations.

Not supposed to be worn, some RSMs let it go, other don't.  Best bet, if your not chitted for them, forget it.
