Working in security and using this footwear in a wide range of weather conditions, I can recommend it with complete confidence. I’ve had this pair for a few months, and it would be really hard for me to find shoes that are equally comfortable and durable. For a price of around two hundred zlotys, it’s genuinely a fair deal.
Hunter M-04 Grom Boots - Black
Black tactical boots designed with uniformed services in mind. Made from full-grain leather and durable Oxford fabric. Inside, there is a soft collar that prevents pressure on the calf. The reinforced construction ensures increased durability and foot protection, enhancing comfort during long marches. The polyurethane sole guarantees good traction on forest and mountain trails. The quick lacing system allows for fast putting on and taking off of the boots.
The model complies with the EN ISO 20345:2022 standard and meets the requirements of EU regulation 2016/245.
durable Full-grain leather and Oxford fabric
The upper, made from a combination of full-grain leather and Oxford fabric, provides resistance to mechanical damage and adverse weather conditions. The whole is complemented by a lining made of breathable material, increasing comfort and supporting moisture wicking. The stiffened upper stabilises the ankle and protects against injuries.
anti-slip sole, Kevlar insole
Stability during movement in the field is guaranteed by the ANTI-SLIP sole, made of polyurethane. Its construction effectively absorbs the kinetic energy acting on the body in motion. The profiled edges of the sole ensure sure-footedness when climbing stairs or ladders.
Comfort and safety during prolonged use are ensured by the interchangeable Kevlar insole.
Lacing system
The boots are equipped with durable laces threaded through metal eyelets for quick lacing. The lacing system along with the high upper finished with a soft fabric collar guarantees excellent fit and wearing comfort. Loops at the back make it easier to put on and take off the boots.

Oxford is a type of fabric made of synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon) or a mixture of synthetic and natural fibers (cotton) with a dense weave. It is characterized by high mechanical strength and waterproof properties.
Kevlar is a synthetic aramid material that has high strength and tensile strength. It was developed by DuPont in the 1960s and is used in the manufacture of protective clothing and tactical equipment, helmets, car tires, and bulletproof clothing. It is used in products that require protection from mechanical damage, including cutting and shooting.
EN ISO 20345 is an international standard that specifies both basic and additional requirements for protective footwear used in various work environments. Footwear that meets the basic requirements must be made of a specified material and have a protective toecap that protects the foot against impact with an energy of 200 J and crushing with a force of 15 kN, and must feature SRA-class slip resistance (slip resistance on ceramic ground coated with a sodium lauryl sulfate solution). ISO certification confirms that the manufacturer meets certain standards for personal protective equipment.

This is already my second purchase of these shoes. At this price, it's hard to find better footwear. They are excellent for walks in the forest, fields, or mountains. They provide good heat management and are also suitable in winter, even in frosty conditions – you just need to wear warm socks. What I appreciate most is how lightweight they are – you can hardly feel you're wearing them.

After a month of use, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Gromy Hunter tactical boots. I wear them mainly for airsoft games and forest walks. They are extremely comfortable, provide good airflow, and even after long periods of wearing, my feet do not overheat. They perform very well while driving, so they are also suitable for everyday use. Initially, I felt a slight discomfort, which is to be expected with leather boots. However, after wearing them a few times, they fitted perfectly to my feet. It's worth checking the insole length carefully when choosing, because although I usually choose size 44, with this model, size 45 was perfect. In summary, I am very satisfied with the purchase and without hesitation recommend Gromy boots from Hunter to anyone who needs comfortable footwear for airsoft and outings to the forest.

I probably got a faulty pair, because the shoes didn’t fit my feet at all, and I no longer had time to make a complaint. They’re still okay for short walks of up to about two kilometres, but on longer walks they cause chafing. I tried different sock options, thinner and thicker ones, but nothing helped. In my pair, the heel counter is set vertically, which makes my heel move up and down all the time and provides no stability at all. I didn’t use them for half a year from February, and when I recently put them on again, they turned out to be a total disappointment once more. They look great and are very lightweight, but unfortunately they aren’t suitable for long walks, even though that’s exactly what I bought them for.

I don’t remember whether I left a review straight after buying them, but even now I can say that the shoes are comfortable and don’t tire my feet. Contrary to some comments, they are easy to put on — you just need to understand how to use the top eyelets, which in my opinion is normal with traditional lacing. During a walk in the woods in fairly heavy rain, they didn’t let in any water at all, although I had previously treated them with a good beeswax polish. I recommend them.

Size: 42
The shoes look good, and size 42 matches the description — the insole is 28 cm long. I have a narrow foot, so they fit me well. It remains to be seen how they will perform in the first frosts and in the snow. The front part of the shoes is leather, although the leather itself could be of slightly better quality. However, at this price it is hard to expect more. After the first winter, they will be easier to assess.

The shoes are generally comfortable and soft to walk in, but I ended up with a faulty pair — in the left shoe, the tongue slips to the side and no amount of readjusting helps. After a few steps, it shifts again and starts rubbing on the exposed area. There is no problem at all with the right shoe.

The shoes are very comfortable and perform excellently on more challenging terrain. From the first wear, they fit the foot well, do not cause rubbing, and provide proper support while walking. They are well made, the stitching seems durable, and the sole provides good grip on various surfaces. I am satisfied with this purchase.

The shoes are very comfortable and quite lightweight, and they work well in autumn and spring. I was looking for a replacement for Grom Protector — the quality may not be identical, but it certainly matches the price :).

Size: 43
The shoes are very good, worth buying, and you probably won’t regret it, especially at this price. As for sizing, unfortunately it’s poor — you definitely need to check the insole length. I normally wear size 44, ordered 43, and they still turned out to be a little too big.

Size: 44
They’re easy to fit well and perform well when walking over rocks and roots. I’ve already used them on several hikes, and so far there haven’t been any problems. If the upper feels too stiff to someone, it can be softened with a leather treatment, though personally it doesn’t particularly bother me.

I don’t have any experience with durability yet; so far I’ve only walked around the room in them. The size is quite snug, I have size 42 feet and I bought this size as well. I still don’t know how tight and uncomfortable they will be during longer use. When I step with my right foot and the upper part bends, it presses on my toe / the top of my foot. I don’t know whether this will change with longer use.

Very good workmanship. I had some concerns after reading the reviews, but they turned out to be unfounded. The shoes are comfortable and easy to put on and take off, even though others claimed otherwise, and I also have high insteps. They are lightweight, so the foot does not get tired. It is still hard for me to comment on durability, because more time is needed.

Size: 43
The quality and workmanship are really of a high standard. At first, the shoes are a little stiff, which is normal with new footwear. The sizing comes up slightly small, so in my opinion it is worth choosing one size up. I normally wear a 42, ordered a 43, and they fit perfectly. Definitely worth recommending!

They are definitely lighter than our duty boots. Of course, your feet sweat a bit, but it is not a serious problem at all. Right now, during the summer sale, they cost PLN 149, and at this price you may come across Chinese models where even the sole is poorly glued on, so they are really worth buying without hesitation. Also, pay attention to the insole length.
