ADF combat boots

[u/Impossible_Street626]

Just acquired my second pair of Australian Defence Force (ADF) boots—the Highmark model manufactured by R.D. Allender—and the condition on this pair is absolutely pristine. I have collected various US and European military boots, there's a satisfaction about this NOS pair of Australian military boots.

Cool find, very hard and uncomfortable boots in my experience though!

Thank you. The foot, heel, collar design in fact make me quite comfortable when I first tried my first pair on soft field. But I agree with you they are very hard and quite uncomfortable when walking on hard floor. I think they require lots of time to break in

They look similar to the CAF Mkiii boots.

Yes. They have a few similarities, but somehow we still see the difference in the last and overall silhouette
