German Army Gore-Tex Desert Boots
Good used condition. Fully functional and field-ready, with light wear and typical service markings.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
These are genuine German Army Gore-Tex Desert Boots. They are original military surplus boots.
Bundeswehr Field Specification
These boots are the official Kampfstiefel, heiß/trocken issued to the German military for hot-weather deployments, such as modern peacekeeping missions. Constructed from thick 2.0–2.2mm sand-coloured suede and breathable nylon paneling, they are engineered to maintain structure under stress. In Grade 1 condition, they represent the high standard of issue gear.
Climate Regulation Engineering
Under the outer suede, a three-layer GORE-TEX membrane provides total waterproof protection while allowing sweat vapour to escape. An integrated climate ventilation system uses the natural pumping action of walking to push hot air out through collar vents. This makes them highly effective for demanding activities like hiking and bushcraft in wet or humid climates.
Heavy-Duty Tactical Sole
The non-marking rubber outsole is antistatic, and resistant to oil and petrol, delivering maximum grip on loose terrain. A low-weight polyurethane damping wedge in the sole absorbs impact to protect your joints during long marches. Note that this polyurethane wedge can degrade when exposed to wet cement, so these boots are not suited for construction site work.
Equip yourself with genuine Bundeswehr engineering for your next outdoor adventure.
This item was used by the German Army during the Modern (2000–Present) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.

- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.

“Very nice boots, better than grade 1, nearer super grade. nice fit, high arch support which I had to alter as it was to much for my feet, but easily done & now fit perfectly. Delivery was faultless as always..”
“Best boots for the money. Comfortable, waterproof, no sweaty feet and great service as usual.”
“Great boots. I have been looking for another pair for quite some time and was very pleased to find a pair on the Forces Uniform and Kit site at what I considered a good price. I am typically between a 10 and 11 UK sizing depending on brand, the 285 is a good fit with normal walking socks i.e. might be a bit snug with extra thick socks. The boots were indicated as the second to last pair in stock. On inspection they look to have been subject toin very good condition, light use only, with no significant marks or damage and significant life (tread) left in them representing what I consider good value for money. Accurately delivered as per the posted timescales. Would be happy to order products again from this company.”
“Excellent boots which will last as long as any. Good price too”
“Nice quality, sturdy but light boots. Fit is a little narrow for my foot but nothing a bit of breaking in won't cure. Condition was dusty and scuffed but sole was clean, I guess they sat on a shelf for a couple of years, or were issued and never used. All in all I feel like I got a bargain”
