Country: Belarus
Rating (2022): 4.2
The manufacturer of tactical equipment comes from Belarus. The firm's ankle boots have been tested in various weather conditions, including extreme ones. The company's assortment includes berets for any weather - winter, summer, demi-season, with membrane and fur, and so on. The color can be either black or camouflage, for increased stealth in the bushes and forests, fields and deserts. The cost of Garsing berets is quite low, but this does not affect the quality. Leather models are quite strong, made of thick material. The soles are thick and reliable, able to withstand temperature extremes from -40 to +40 degrees, which is ideal for Russian cold winters.
Naturally, many models are equipped with a strong plastic or metal cup that can protect the foot from damage. The range of models is quite diverse, but closer to the military version than to the informal one. However, they are still quite stylish and comfortable, so you can wear them in everyday life.The nice thing is that some models of berets can be up to size 50, which is very convenient for people with large feet. The minimum size is 36, but some models are made from 39-40, so the brand's products are suitable for both girls and teenagers. Reviews of Garsing products are mostly positive, although customers complain about poor-quality laces and uncomfortable regular insoles (which are easy to replace with more comfortable ones).
9 Dave Marshall
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.3
Truly army domestic high-top boots. No imitations, no nods to the needs of ordinary citizens who decide to wear military boots. Only tough boots for people who know why such models were invented. Boots can be called almost the cheapest among all available in Russia - you can find Dave Marshall berets for 2900 rubles and cheaper. There are summer, demi-season and winter models made of fabric and leather, including lightweight ones. The shoes are quite large. Therefore, such berets are perfect for owners of a wide foot that does not fit into the blocks of other models. But the size grid is far from the best - for most models, options are available from 40 to 46 sizes, which cuts off many potential customers with larger or smaller feet.
However, there are berets with a size grid from 35 to 47 sizes. You should not expect that the quality of frankly cheap boots will be on top. Some models may lose their appearance after several seasons of active wear, or even become unusable.However, such shoes do not require a ten-year wear period: most buyers buy such cheap berets to go hiking, go to training camps, or just check how comfortable such shoes are. Reviews are contradictory: many users wear the brand's shoes for several seasons and are satisfied, but for some, it became unusable in a few months.
