Whilst we were out camping, sat around the campfire whittling, Matt's new para boots started to warm up by the fire, well...

I'm told they are adjustable for a more moccasin approach.

I seem to recall that during the first gulf war the british troops had problems with the soles of their boots melting off in the desert heat - must have been from the same batch! Funny though but then it always is when it's someone else's kit!

To make things worse, this is the second pair of boots that Matt has lost in the same fashion. :D

What boots are they Matt..?
I had a pair do that to me once.. I was able to use some small screws and screw the soles back on when I got home..

They look like aload of "cobblers".

Jeez - not enough 'copters, not enough body armour, guns that don't like sand, and now melting boots! Some Rupert from the MOD needs carpetting eh?

Cable ties will fix that. Not elegant but my last one lasted for months.

Oh...well in that case I suppose that's quite reassuring, should our EC cousins attempt the hat trick.
