They are same price, but for the army, comfy for walking 8 hours a day on tarmac though?

Well they use Magnums or similar boots in the Police, but they certainly aren't suitable for everyone, they can be slightly heavy, and hard to break in. A standard pair of shoes may be better for a girl.
I have 2 pairs though anyway, and love them. My Classics pair I've had for about years.
Slight tangent, but did you or your girlfriend watch the confessions of a traffic warden programme this evening? So awful how they are treated!
