reddawn 2,173 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Army surplus wouldn't use them for firewood...... What boots...... Well I've got altberg Warriors and lows mountain gtx....... Used the lowas in Afghan 2009 and both in the winter tour-sep 2010- april2011. Honest opinion: Altberg- I went to the altberg factory in Richmond to get them fitted. I have No complaints about them apart from I (and others) feel they get a bit cold on the toes. Pretty Durable and look the part. Lowa- The toughest boots I've used. Had them since 2008 and they're Still doing the job. Very tough soles, good ankle support and comfy As feck......bit heavier than the altberg. Most the lads I work with have a pair of Both. Altbergs are a top boot and We use them for day to day use and when we need to look smart. Lowas are the workhorses for us, we change to them when were gonna put the boots through some stick. Very, very tough boots and pretty Warm. Afghan in winter at night is a pretty harsh place and lowas have served me well. Both are a good choice. Similar price and do similar things. I'd be happy with either But for dog work/digging the lowa comes out on top....... For general mooching and walking It's altberg warriors are a decent boot, if you ever need to buy a new pair try them highmoor yins Quote Link to post
