French BM65 double buckle boots, black, surplus

Price 59.99 USD excluding sales tax

Just some years ago the French still made their boots as they had for the past fifty years - double buckled and damn tough! A classic design, as French as the Eiffel tower and smelly cheese. Mmm.

These are damn well made, the inside is fully lined with smooth leather for comfort. The soles are replaceable, which means that these are basically an eternal pair of boots - high-quality leather serves you well as long as you treat it with care, and when the sole wears out just tell a cobbler to replace it! Or just glue on more rubber. The soles are usually more worn on these than ones pictured, but still good for many many miles kilometers before they need attention.

A note about the leather: that's the kind of stuff that costs ridiculously much these days. Needless to say, it's also ridiculously high quality, worlds apart from the abortions usually sold in cheapo shoe stores. However it sometimes has a thin coating on top which may be peeled off a bit. In terms of usability, it's a non-issue.

Size info

The usual Euro system. Sizes are a very tight fit, we suggest picking a size larger than you normally use.

Condition

Used, signs of wear are to be expected. These are all still in perfectly serviceable condition.

Kengän lesti on melko kapea, lisäksi ajatus saada 43-kenkä mahtumaan 43-koon jalkaan vakiopohjallisilla ja yhdellä sukalla osoittautui toiveajatteluksi. Kenkät ovat myös todella kovat jopa käytettynä.

Ostin popot joskus herran vuonna 2013, ja kokemus pääpiirteittäin:



Aluksi pari sanaa aiheesta varastotalkki näissä kengissä: On käytetty. Ei lähtenyt edes harjaamalla ulkopinnoilta, pakko oli reippaalla vedellä ja saippualla (!!!AAAAAAA!!!) osa hangata pois. Lisäksi joku varasto-caporale oli saanut päähänsä että varoiksi on hyvä kipata kenkä täyteen ko. talkkia kun ulkopinnoilla kuitenkiin oltiin vielä suht fiksusti menty "pienillä" määrillä. Pari kertaa kävin parittomaksi jääneellä jämäsukalla sisukset läpi ja sain suurimmat pois, lopuksi märällä rätillä keräsin kaulasta pois kaiken minkä sain. Itse kengät olivat vissiin eri pareista kotoisin, kuitenkin pohjien kuluma niin samalla tasolla että tuntumasta ei huomaa - ulkonäöstä kylläkin. Toinen lienee ollut jonkun graafikkoaliupseerin paraatijalkineena, mutta käytönjälkeä ei näy kun lievä linttaan muotoutuminen, mutta sitten se toinen: Varjele, se oli kyllä jonkun indokiinan suojalkapalloturnauksen ja ydinsodan läpi käynyt, ja puolikuiva kokonaisuus oli viimeistelty hentoisella survonnalla jonkun vatsataudista kärsineen algeerin takapuoleen.. Vastaavasti myös pinta oli kärsineempi, tosin varastotalkin kanssa ei hommaa oltu yhtä överiksi lyöty kun tuon toisen.

Vedin parin pvn kuivattelun jälkeen uuden lankin pintaan, ja kyllä noista hemmetin nätit popot ulkoisesti tuli. Kokosysteemin puolesta ranskalainen saisi alkaa laihduttaa, otin vähän reilumman koon kun lesti on varsin kapea, mutta voi hyvä helvetti kun ei meinaa riittää kiristys varressa tämän jälkeen. Jos vain mahdollista, käykää livenä sovittamassa ja tutkiskelkaa omaa anatomiaanne rauhassa, jokaisesta ei ilmeisesti ole francophonieksi. Tiivistän: Jos toimii, niin toimii hyvin, jo ei toimi, niin hus legioonaan kasvattamaan pohkeita. Tai ei vaan toimi. Mutta on se legioona silti siistiä.

Been wearing these on and off since 1999. Going through my second pair now, manufactured in 1994.

The old ones made in France (Bally, Argeyrolles and such) are very tough leather and excellent quality of assembly. You'll need a few weeks to break them in if they'd never been worn, oiling the inside will help, and if they sat for long in storage then you may need to have the sole reglued once after the first few days. After that, they are very durable, and get pretty comfortable if you wear them often. I have no problem walking 40 km in a day with mine. Just know that there is no cushioning whatsoever. Nothing modern or fancy, but a very good and solid choice for daily use in a region where muddy woods prevail. The gaiter part is nice to have when you wade across brambles.

However beware, in the 2000's the same model has been produced in Tunisia. Those have thin and flimsy leather, poor sole material, and the shoe comes apart after a while.

Oikean pohjallis- ja sukkakombinaation kun löysi niin sopii jalkaan täydellisesti, todella mukavat jalassa. Ei päästä vettä läpi kosteikoissa eikä lätäköissä. Solkisysteemillä saa hyvin kiristettyä ylös asti napakoiksi. Helvetin komeet. Ei moitittavaa.
Tl;dr: Parhaat maiharit mitä olen jalkoihini vetänyt

Siistimisen jälkeen oikein kivat popot ainakin näin city-käyttöön. Saa sitten nähdä, miten vaikkapa pohja kestää käyttöä. Selvästi käytetyt (tai varastossa ruttaantuneet), mutta haitanneeko tuo, kun ovat tyylikkäät silti...

Love them. Took my usual size and can use woolen socks without any problem. Surprised how good they feel walking 10+ km because I bought them mostly for the looks. I'm quite Old and heavy so an inlay sole is a must for me.
