German Army Gore-Tex Desert Boots
Excellent, near-new condition. May be unissued or show only the slightest signs of long-term storage.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
These original German Army desert boots are current-issue, high-performance footwear.
Bundeswehr Desert Performance
The Kampfstiefel Leicht is the standard light combat boot of the German Bundeswehr, engineered specifically for operations in arid, demanding climates like Afghanistan. These boots are in Supergrade condition, meaning they are unissued and unused military surplus. They combine rugged hydrophobic suede leather with heavy-duty polyamide panels to offer durable, lightweight wear.
Waterproof and Breathable Membrane
To keep your feet dry in unpredictable weather, these boots feature a built-in Gore-Tex membrane. This three-layer waterproof laminate allows sweat vapour to escape while stopping external water from getting in. This ensures optimal temperature regulation during intensive hiking, tactical operations, or everyday outdoor activities.
All-Terrain Sole and Support
The boot has a specialized rubber sole that is antistatic and resistant to oil, fuel, and heat. An integrated polyurethane wedge provides shock absorption to protect your joints on rocky ground. A secure speed lacing system gives excellent ankle support. Please note that these are not for building work, as cement chemicals can degrade the sole.
Equip yourself with these genuine German Army desert boots for your next challenging outdoor adventure or weekend hike.

Supergrade is our highest condition rating for genuine military surplus. Items in this category are in near-new, top-tier condition and have seen little to no field use.
- Origin: Typically unissued reserve stock, trial gear, or kit issued but never actively deployed.
- Fabric & Materials: Crisp, fully intact, and structurally perfect with original color vibrancy and no fading.
- Hardware & Fastenings: Zips, press studs, hook-and-loop closures, and buckles operate like new with no functional wear.
- Markings & Repairs: No holes, tears, repairs, or personalized user markings. Factory issue labels and faint depot storage stamps may be present.
- Storage & Scent: May show minor creasing or light dust from transit. Like most authentic military surplus held in long-term dry storage, items may carry a faint warehouse scent that clears easily with a quick first wash or air-out.
“I've had numerous pairs of these boots and they are, generally fantastic. However I would urge the new vendors to list the actual size stated on the label. 9.5 or 43 generally fit fine but these boots are sized as 285 I usually prefer 280 as that's a perfect fit and would've chosen this size if it was listed as an option I sincerely hope the new owners implement this as FU - kit did as standard it would be greatly appreciated”
“Excellent value, quality boots. Sizing guide was very accurate.”
“Although these boots are unbranded, I have no doubt that they are made by one of the top maifacturers, they are well made and very robust, and with average use and good care, they should last for years. And as a returning customer I can't fault Forces Uniniform and Kit in any way, they're a really good company to deal with”
“My third pair of these boots from forces uniform, as usual great boots from a great seller. I will be sad when a 310 size pair of these will be harder to find than rocking horse s**t.”
“1/ This is the first time I used the 3-digit Mondo size, just followed the instructions on the website to measure my feet they were bang on 300mm so ordered size 300, and when the boots arrived they fitted. 2/ The boots are heavy-duty and are still breaking in after 4 days, overall great quality. On the downside I can't use my normal insoles with this boot the boots arch support gets in the way ,there does not seem to be a way to remove the arch support. this is more of a niggle just worth being aware of.”
