Texar Stinger Boots Khaki

After three months of use I can say they’re comfortable. The colour and material get dirty, but your feet don’t sweat, and so far the sole hasn’t come apart.

The shoes are well-made and durable. They performed flawlessly in various weather conditions. The colour looks better in person than in the photos. I recommend, very fast delivery.

Bought online, the delivery could have been quicker. When ordering, I had a choice of four shoe models, each in sizes 41 and 42 EU (my foot: 27.3 cm in length, standard width). Here are my subjective impressions from worst to best: 1. Texar Desert Ghost - Khaki: these suited me the least (unusual colour), sizes not accurate to the chart – both were too small. Solidly made shoes, standard insole, average comfort on the foot, stiff sole reminiscent of Kupczak MON. 2. Texar Stinger - Khaki: prettier than the previous pair and, in my opinion, the slimmest of the four. This time sizes match, size 41 is slightly too small but should stretch with time to fit perfectly with thin socks. Size 42 is too loose, even with thicker socks. Well-made, standard insole, average comfort, stiff sole as above. 3. KOMBAT UK PRO 50/50 (bought elsewhere): the most attractive in my opinion among those compared. Sizes are as stated: 41 perfect for thin socks, 42 leaves a bit of room with thicker ones. Well made, more comfortable than the Texar, less rigid sole – nice heel reinforcement. 4. Bates Tactical Sport 2 Desert: the winner of the ranking, although visually the most modest. The sizing runs small – I had to take 41, which fits with a little room for thin socks and is perfect with thicker ones. Very well made, comfort on a completely higher level – fits the foot perfectly, you hardly feel them on, comfortable insole, very flexible sole. If anyone is unsure whether it’s worth paying about 150 PLN extra for the Bates Tactical Sport 2 – in my opinion, it is.

After three months of alternating use with another pair they have performed quite well. The sole wore out quickly. 50% tarmac, 45% earth, 5% sand and mud. The plus side is the price and quick zip.

The shoes disappointed me because a thin metal plate easily went through the sole at an angle of about 30-35 degrees. I'm talking about a sheet that you can easily wrap around your finger...

Very fast shipping. The shoes look better than in the picture and are very good quality. They fit the foot perfectly – they’re really worth their price. The company and shoes are honestly well worth recommending. Keep it up!

Very nice and comfortable shoes, they positively surprised me. The colour is lighter than in the pictures, more sandy. We'll see how they perform in the field, but for now, workmanship is a plus.

On the first day the shoes weren't very comfortable, but with each passing day they were more comfortable. The only downside is the rather weak sole.

I used these shoes for three years, practically without taking them off. Pros: zipper, fit to the foot, comfort, and a durable upper part of the shoe. Cons: they get dirty quickly, inside wore out, and the sole wore out completely — the rubber was thin, so holes appeared. Despite the flaws, I will buy this model again, nobody's perfect.

Very good value for money, recommend!

Good, solid shoes.

After about 16 hours, I received exactly what I expected! Delivery was very quick, shoes met my expectations. As far as comfort and durability are concerned, I have no complaints, no one is complaining, and of course, the shoes need proper care.

The shoes are very comfortable and solid. I recommend them.

At first the shoes make a very good impression. After two weeks of daily use, their flaws started to show: leather absorbs water despite impregnation, they get dirty quickly, and the foot shape is a bit odd, so the comfort is average. After a month, the loops on the upper tore off. On the plus side, they're suitable for any season and are not slippery.

Tested them in the mountains (30 km march) and during ASG running, comfortable for me. I ordered a size smaller than usual and they fit perfectly.
