Original German Army BW Desert Boots - Issued

These are genuine issued German Army BW Desert Boots. They are built for rugged, warm-weather field use.

Key Features

• Genuine Military Issue: Genuine sand-coloured Kampfstiefel leicht issued to the German Bundeswehr.
• Waterproof Protection: Breathable three-layer GORE-TEX laminate lining protects feet from external moisture.
• Hybrid Suede Upper: Tough polyamide fabric paired with hydrophobic suede leather measuring 2.0mm thick.
• Slip-Resistant Outsole: Oil and petrol-resistant rubber sole featuring an integrated shock-absorbing PU cushioning wedge.

Originally developed for German Bundeswehr personnel deployed in arid environments, these combat boots are designed to handle demanding warm-weather missions. Often referred to as the Kampfstiefel leicht (light combat boot), this footwear was introduced in the early 2000's to provide soldiers with a lighter, highly breathable alternative to heavy leather boots.

The upper combines tough polyamide textile panels with sand-coloured suede leather that is 2.0mm to 2.2mm thick. For weather protection, the interior features a lightweight three-layer GORE-TEX laminate lining. This setup provides a reliable waterproof barrier while allowing heat and sweat to escape during high-activity tasks.

Designed with a 17cm shaft, these boots offer excellent ankle support over rough terrain. The slip-resistant, antistatic rubber outsole is oil and petrol resistant, featuring deep treads for off-road grip. An integrated PU cushioning wedge in the sole absorbs shock, making them highly comfortable for hiking, Airsoft, and outdoor pursuits.

Add these genuine issued Bundeswehr desert boots to your tactical kit for reliable, all-terrain performance.

Care Instructions

To maintain the breathability of the GORE-TEX lining and preserve the suede, brush away dry dirt and mud after use. Avoid applying heavy grease or wax-based polishes, as these can block the pores of the leather and textile panels, reducing ventilation in hot climates.
