I really value Militaria.pl – it's truly one of the best, if not the best company on the market. All other products I had any issue with, I could easily return or complain about. Unfortunately, this was not possible with these boots. I definitely do not recommend this model – for this price they should last at least two years, but unfortunately, that was not the case. Of course, you can blame improper use, but can you really? I used them in various, sometimes difficult, mountain conditions. In my opinion, they do not perform well in such terrain, and it’s hard to say what they are really suitable for. They are very comfortable, but in terms of durability, I have nothing to compare them to. I regret I couldn't make a complaint about them. I definitely do not recommend these boots.

The breathable inner lining, featuring a Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane, provides effective moisture protection, keeping feet dry even in challenging weather. The membrane efficiently draws moisture away from the shoe, enhancing user comfort.

Gore-Tex Extended Comfort is a single-layer membrane without an additional thermal insulation layer used, for example, in desert boots and summer trekking and tactical boots. Optimal heat conduction together with a moisture management system and high breathability provide adequate thermal comfort, preventing overheating.
MFF+ (Multi-Fit Footbed) is a modular shoe insole system with a simple two-piece design connected by Velcro. It allows shoes to be carefully adjusted to accommodate varying degrees of foot tenacity or the use of socks of different thicknesses, thus providing adequate support during long-term use.
The 3F system is a way of connecting three points on the shoe: the instep, the sole and the heel. The system uses a special design based on a steel cable or strong strap that surrounds the ankle, but does not immobilize the ankle joint. This gives the shoes flexibility, lateral stability and a proper fit, which is important especially on uneven or difficult terrain.
Switchfit Adjustment is a system developed by Salewa that allows you to change the profile of a shoe from an approach shoe to a climbing shoe. Footwear equipped with this solution has an additional eyelet through which the laces are threaded to push the heel forward and compress the toes to the tip of the shoe. This procedure provides greater precision in the steps and stability during climbing.
Edging Plate is a type of edge plate used at the front of the insole in the toe area. It provides additional directional stiffness without affecting the flexibility of the rest of the shoe, allowing the foot to roll comfortably and naturally. This type of solution translates into greater precision in the steps taken while climbing.
The Pomoca Speed MTN Pro is an outsole made of durable butyl rubber (IIR). Thanks to the material used, it features very good grip on smooth, rocky surfaces in both dry and wet conditions and optimal traction.

I can wholeheartedly recommend these boots to anyone considering buying them. Although they are mainly intended for the trail, they also worked great for me during my service. I walked in them for over 40 minutes in ankle-deep water and the membrane handled it perfectly. Additionally, they are lightweight, and the flexible part of the boot effectively prevents sand and small stones from getting inside. The only downside is that these boots are strictly for the warmer seasons—summer, spring, or early fall. In winter, even with thick socks, they simply get cold.
