Key benefits that make all the difference

- Brown interior with full-grain leather lining: breathable, comfortable and naturally abrasion-resistant.

Softening and care tips by TM & Outdoor
To speed up the break-in of your BM65 leather rangers:
- Apply A.Godillot ox foot grease or oil generously to the leather, massage in and leave for 30 minutes.
- Wipe off any excess, then finish with a light coat of Imperial wax (black or colorless) to protect the shaft.
- 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.
