BM65 Rangers: the combat heritage of the French Army

Their robust design, weighing 3 kg per pair, ensures stability and durability for every trekking outing, bivouac or professional mission.

Key benefits that make all the difference

1. French manufacturing: historical production (Argueyrolles, Marbot, Tortora, Boche) guaranteeing strict quality control.
2. Stitched Goodyear rubber sole: abrasion-resistant, resoleable for extended shoe life.
3. Brown interior with full-grain leather lining: breathable, comfortable and naturally abrasion-resistant.
4. Weather-treated leather: retains suppleness and waterproofing after honing.
5. Available in sizes 39 to 45: cover most adult morphologies.

Softening and care tips by TM & Outdoor

To speed up the break-in of your BM65 leather rangers:

1. Apply A.Godillot ox foot grease or oil generously to the leather, massage in and leave for 30 minutes.
2. Wipe off any excess, then finish with a light coat of Imperial wax (black or colorless) to protect the shaft.
3. Repeat the operation after each intense exposure to water or dust.

Surplus status: authenticity first and foremost

These BM65 French army rangers come from military stocks. Slight traces of storage (micro-scratches, rubbing) may be visible, but in no way affect the solidity of the Goodyear-stitched sole or the quality of the leather.

Size and availability guide

Sizes 39 – 46. Take your usual size; full-grain leather relaxes slightly after breaking in, especially if you follow our care instructions.
