While these may not have been my favourite footwear at the time, they were comfortable, hard wearing and have certainly been places.

My standard issue (Army) boots were,once broken in. A fantastic price of kit that kept my feet warm, dry, and protected. They’ve been with me everywhere and taken me to places I’d never have dreamed of as a kid.

While the boots weren’t as magical as I’m making them appear, they were a big part of my younger years and the memories I have of my comrades, and the time we spent together are amazing.
