Prabos Grizzly GTX Boots - Black

The shoes are comfortable, have a soft and stable sole, but unfortunately, they are not suitable for riding on rougher terrain and do not withstand even light off-road conditions. The leather of the shoe is very soft and started to tear near the sole on the very first day of use, and the insoles (with foil on the bottom) completely fell apart after two days. The leather on the tongue didn't withstand even the tension from the laces. I thought these would be good-quality shoes, but unfortunately, I need to look for others.

The shoes are warm, but claiming durability up to -50°C is an exaggeration—they don't provide that much warmth. A major downside is the insole—the bottom near the toes is covered with aluminum foil, which started cracking and crumbling after a few uses. Sharp fragments developed, and I'm worried they may damage the membrane.

I bought the shoes at the end of August—they worked well during the heatwave (+30°C), although foot sweating was normal under those conditions. In September, I used them intensively for two weeks on a training ground—minor abrasions appeared on the heel and the outer part of the big toe. Then they were worn in the unit in mid-October and during a week-long training in the rain. In November, used again on the training ground in mud and rain. Now, when the snow has fallen and temperatures are below zero, I don't feel the qualities of these shoes mentioned before. The shoes start letting in moisture after 4-6 hours of duty. At -14°C, I almost experienced first-degree frostbite. Their main advantage is the sole—it truly protects against injuries (slipping, spraining)—and the self-sealing upper (I fell into mud or water up to about 18 cm several times and they did not get wet). After walking about 800 km in them in 3 months, I think the price of over 1100 PLN is too high—I would personally pay a maximum of 600 PLN. If they weren't so heavily advertised and had an appropriate price, I would probably buy them. Unfortunately, due to numerous exaggerations and incorrect information in the description, I do not recommend these shoes, and a rating of 2 is, in my opinion, appropriate. Regards.

This footwear should cost no more than 700 PLN as of December 2023. After 6 hours of duty at -3°C, dampness began to appear, and after 13 hours at -14°C, my toes turned blue. After just 10 minutes of standing still, my entire foot was frozen—only continuous walking kept my feet warm (I was wearing two pairs of Merino socks). The strong point is the sole—it insulates well from the ground and prevents slipping, which has saved my joints several times. Additionally, the foot sits firmly in the shoe, but at this price, it should be standard. My maximum rating is 2 stars.

I bought these shoes and I'm satisfied with them – they're light and warm. The only problem I had was with the sizing, because with a foot length of 28.5 cm, size 43 turned out to be too small, so I exchanged them for 44. I think they're better than the ones I had in England.

The shoes are very comfortable and warm. After walking several kilometers, I can already say they are worth their price.

They perform excellently in the field. They don't let water in, and my feet stay dry. The only downside is the price, but you have to pay for high quality.
