I guess I got a rogue pair
I bought these last October and I was largely influenced by the 5 star reviews left by other customers.
The boots are comfortable and a decent fit but after only a few wear the sole of the heel became detached. I attempted a repair using 'Shoo Goo' on the recomendation of 'Mean & Green' without success. The upper part of the sole has begun to perish and I think that is preventing a decent bond forming. Now the other boot has the same problem with the complete sole coming away.
Based on my pair I couldn't recommend these. I could pay to get them repaired professionally but that would probably cost more than I paid for them and with the upper half of the sole becoming perished I doubt that they'd last very long anyway.
Pros: The upper boot is comfortable
Cons: Upper sole perished, Heel fell off, Unusable after a few wears, Soles becoming detached
Would recommend: No

As I remember
My boots arrived today, straight out of the bag and on my feet! Like putting on a pair of slippers! Just as I remember from practically living in my old ones some 18 yrs ago. Fantastic.
Pros: What more can be said , They're German Para Boots.
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels about right

Great boots great service
I got these boots almost a year ago. Boots are great. Very comfortable and tough, just make sure you get good insoles. I've got flat feet and they have no support. On a side note, the customer service was great. I live in the U.S. and these boots came really quick and Mean and Green was always quick to respond to email. Great Job guys.
Pros: Cheap, Unique in the States, Comfortable, tough
Cons: Replace the insoles
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent Boot, Excellent Bargin
I'm really pleased with these boots, which seem to be increasingly difficult to find, especially for a reasonable price. I've found that other boots can pinch my toes after a bit. These German Paras instead are roomy at the toe, allowing me to clomp around comfortably in all weathers.
The pair I received have some wear on the heel, which is only to be expected for used equipment. The uppers and the rest of the sole, however, were in a good, clean condition.
A good price for a very good boot.
Pros: none
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Classic Boot!
You just can't get these in the U.S.! I had a pair I used to rock hanging outside the now-long gone Mike Lloyd's in Wolves... I wish I'd kept them! These boots will be a lifesaver in the harsh Chicago winter!
Pros: Classic look, Sturdy, Warm
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels about right

Germans really do it better
Bought these boots 2 days ago, They arrived today and I have to say that I am nothing short of amazed with them. Being in the military I have tried different styles boots (Magnum and Haix) and I found them to be wanting( not durable enough, too heavy etc.) These para boots are incredibly well made, extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear also too my surprise, they had a steel toe cap. If anything I will be putting them to the test, but already I know they will not fail me. I will have to invest in another pair quite soon just so I don't miss the chance to have another before they are gone.
Pros: Steel Toe Cap, Comfortable, Lightweight, Durable
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Quality!
I bought a pair of these for my wife in a size 5.5. She has been looking for a pair in this size, on and off for twenty years! They rarely become available in the smaller sizes. She says they were worth the wait! Very comfortable and looking at them myself, very well made. They are, without doubt, very high quality boots. Regarding the condition - They had traces of mud on the soles, so I know they have been worn; but the insides looked new. I would guess they've only had a weeks use in their life!
Pros: Excellent quality
Cons: None
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Unbeatable
Right ..... Firstly I really like the look of these boots they have great proportions ie sole thickness, toe cap height and the lace up width gives them a very secure feel.
They have good grip And a nice flex section in the heel which allows better ankle articulation, mine came looking new, smelling new and feel like trainers from first wear , apart from not being as cusionable. This was expected and to be honest I would not have wanted over cushioned boots I think they give less stability.
If you are looking for an all leather boot, class comfort with a generous wide fitting
Then this is the boot . Can't wait till they have had some wear and they get really really comfy , I would pay double for a pair of these ..... At least . I paid over £110 for my lowa boots they are now wearing out from the inside . Cant see that happening with these.
Top rate service from the site too would recommend product and retailer
Pros: Very stable, Good support , Comfy, Bombproof
Cons: Maybe a bit heavy but not too
Would recommend: Yes

Would recommend to other cadets.
