Hey, I can't drive right now and the military surplus store near me closed. Anyone know a good place online to buy combat boots in small sizes for say a chick who wears a ladies 6? I'm looking for real supportive intended-for-battle combat boots, not Docs, stylish though they are.

They have really nice Harley Davidson boots that zip up front. I almost got some for myself. Just go to the women's section, page 2 had some nice ones.
Failing all else, you can't (generally) go wrong with eBay. I got my boots there a couple years back and they've served me well.
If you're looking for REAL combat boots, then I recomendQuote:

they're the best online store for actual military goods (I know my little sister got replacement boots for her BDUs there) and they shipped them fast. (and cost less than a pair of crappy sneakers from Foot Locker)

what's wrong with doctor martins boots? they are very good. well that is if you got them back when they were made by hand in england, before they got bought by nike and are now made in a cheap chinese sweat shop. you can sometimes find the old ones at a thrift store, never looked online. but yeah, the ones they have now are shit.
I have an old pair of english made 20 holes. The ones they make now are shit.Quote:

Now that I think about it, I wonder what her parents do. I remember her father was supposed to be in some sort of Middle Eastern import/export biz, but now that I'm an adult, I wonder . . .

If I ever do make it to New York again, sounds like I need to shoot at your place!Quote:

So it would be cool to shoot you with that lighting, if that is possible... Or sometimes you use that red filter, anyway, you know more about lighting and photography than I do, but yes anytime you want to shoot, come on over!
