Texar Stinger Boots Khaki

After three months of use, I can say they are comfortable. The color and material get dirty, but my feet don’t sweat and the sole hasn’t come unglued yet.

Well-made and durable shoes. Performed flawlessly in various weather conditions. The color looks better live than in the pictures. I recommend, very fast delivery.

Purchased online, the delivery could have been faster. When ordering, I had four shoe models to choose from, each available in EU sizes 41 and 42 (my foot: 27.3 cm length, standard width). Here are my subjective impressions from worst to best: 1. Texar Desert Ghost - Khaki: these were my least favorite (unusual color), sizes did not match the size chart—both were too small. The shoes are solid, with a regular insole, average comfort on the foot, and a hard sole similar to Kupczak MON. 2. Texar Stinger - Khaki: look nicer than the previous and, in my opinion, the slimmest of the four. Sizes are accurate this time; size 41 is a bit small, but over time they should break in to a perfect fit with thin socks. Size 42 is too loose, even for thicker socks. Well-made, regular insole, average comfort, and a hard sole as above. 3. KOMBAT UK PRO 50/50 (bought elsewhere): in my opinion, the nicest among those compared. Sizes match: 41 is perfect for thin socks, and 42 offers a bit of room with thicker ones. Solid craftsmanship, more comfortable than the Texar models, and the sole is less stiff—a nice heel reinforcement solution. 4. Bates Tactical Sport 2 Desert: the winner, although they look the simplest. The sizing runs small—I had to take size 41, which fits with slight room for thin socks, and perfectly with thick socks. Very well-made, comfort at a completely higher level—they fit the foot perfectly, you barely feel them, the insole is comfortable, and the sole is very flexible. If you're hesitating about paying around 150 PLN more for the Bates Tactical Sport 2—in my opinion, it's worth it.

After three months of alternating use with another pair, they performed well. The sole wore out quickly. 50% on asphalt, 45% on dirt, 5% on sand and mud. The price and fast zipper are a plus.

I was disappointed by the shoes because a thin metal plate could easily pass through the sole at about a 30-35 degree angle. I'm talking about a sheet you can easily wrap around your finger...

Very fast shipping. The shoes look better than in the photo and have very good quality. They fit perfectly on the foot—they are really worth the price. The company and the shoes are honestly highly recommended. Keep it up!

The shoes are really nice and comfortable, they positively surprised me. The color is lighter than in the pictures, more sand-colored. I'll see how they perform in the field; for now, I rate the craftsmanship positively.

On the first day, the shoes were not very comfortable, but with each passing day they became better to wear. The only downside is the rather weak sole.

I used these shoes for three years, practically without taking them off. Pros: zipper, foot fit, comfort, and durable upper part. Cons: they get dirty quickly, the interior got ruined, and the sole was completely worn down—the rubber was thin, resulting in holes. Despite the flaws, I will buy this model again, nobody is perfect.

Very good value for the money, I recommend!

Good, solid shoes.

After about 16 hours, I received exactly what I expected! Very fast shipping, shoes as I expected. No complaints about comfort or durability, no one complains, of course you have to take proper care of the footwear.

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

At first, the shoes make a very good impression. After two weeks of daily use, flaws began to appear: the leather absorbs water despite impregnation, they get dirty quickly, and the foot profile is a bit odd, making comfort average. After a month, the top eyelets tore off. On the plus side, they are suitable for any season and are non-slip.

Tested in the mountains (30 km hike) and during airsoft running, they are comfortable for me. I ordered one size smaller than I usually wear, and they fit perfectly.
