I orderd them from a Army/Navy online dealer for less than $50 including delivery. The style is the Altama model 9225.

Not a bad lookin' boot a'tall, especially for less than $50. A little to edgy for me, but I've been looking for a chukka/boot very similar to this (in brown though). I prefer a more rounded toe, too. I'm looking for something I can get resoled (no joy with Doc Martens), so I don't mind paying ~$100-150 if they'll last ten years (assuming a resole costs ~$30).

My ideal is the Clarks Roar, but the bloddy shoes don't fit me! Tried 'em in two different sizes, too; always slip in the heel. Luckily that site I ordered 'em from offers free shipping AND returns! Whew.

At any rate, good find.

Cheers,
