Cold Wet Weather (CWW) about $90 most features as the MkIV's but these have a goretex liner making them waterproof and breathable.

Boulet CF desert about $50 this is a little lighter that the MkIV's same general design great for summer airsoft. These CF issue boots are all made in Canada and last 3-5 years of regular use
Sorry, had to edit a part of your post, as it was slightly incorrect, no hard feelings I hope.

I recommend that unless you can get an exact fit for these boots, avoid at all costs. All three are known to damage people feet, from blisters to other assorted issues both permanent and not. Normally the cause of all the problems with above mentioned boots is improper sizing. Your best bet is to find a pair that will fit you, if you must buy a pair. The other thing to be aware of is the CWW’s are crap on ice, and slippery surfaces. I personally recommend, MkIII's or Swats. I personally have used both for a long while now. Started with MKIII's, only started using the Swats after a bad experience with Clothing Stores and the GP Boots, as they don't make 8 1/2 sizes at all, so I was sort of screwed with an incorrect size that ended up damaging my feet. Then they gave me Swats…

Here's a massive thread on the GP Boots on Army.ca
GP Boots Warning, this thread is over 53 pages...

Here'sa decient place to find reviews/suggestions on a ton of kit. Here's a thread about non-issued boots that contains a bunch of suggestions.

I guess that wearing the proper size of a boot would be important anyways for the health of your feet.

Mk III Interm Replacement Boots AKA GP Boots,
and how long is the Interm ?

Yep Quartermaster Stores are alway full of stuff you want but aren't "entitled" too or stuff thats just not your size. If I ran my business like the Army Runs Stores I'd be on Skid Row. Guys come in for boots they get a good fit. The flip side is that in Airsoft most players never do a 10K at dawn.

These army boots are all under $100 and thats great for most Airsofters. If you are an Infanteer Spend every dollar in your pay to get the best kit for your JOB. Same as a Carpenter, Electrician or Mechanic. But most guys in AS don't need $300 boots for shooting BB's on Weekends.
No offense taken, Elaborating details are great, I had posted huge details in my first two Vanished posts, haha.

A really nice boot. Excellent ankle support and fairly light.

Get 5.11 boots. They are the most comfortable boot you'll ever wear. But if you're only doing backwoods stuff and just need durable and can sacrifice comfort go with original army boots. I know guys that have never worn theirs out and they are now "vets"

Isn't the GP Boot on its own? I was under the impression that there was the MkI-III, an interim boot (I remember seeing two types of "new boots" when I did BMQ), and then the GP Boot...with the eventual MkVI being the CADPAT boots.
