Tao bao number 1 Is it cheaper then our emart?Consperm! 315/4.7 = $67 Emart about $110 Edited January 25, 2014 by Mustank 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrocarbon Turbocharged January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 OT abit. is it an offence to wear SAF boots with civilian clothing? I intend to wear SAF boots to survive the winter snow in S. Korean next week. I think officially, we can't wear any part of the uniform, but almost nobody cares for the black no 3 pants (navy), or the boots. Wore before, no issue at customs. Just if they make you do strip at USA remove shoes then headache.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustank Hypersonic January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 i worn it to Korea before during winter about 10yrs ago. as usual, SAF boot. anywhere also can step. not scare of sky and ground. beware, quite slippery if you step onto the snow...... Wear this consperm Kena 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wore before, no issue at customs. Just if they make you do strip at USA remove shoes then headache.. nothing to do with Customs. Rather, these are properties of SAF. They belong to SAF and SAF has a code/regulation for their uniforms, equipment and how they should be used. If scared, can rub off the words from the boots, but then again, if they can prove that it's SAF property, then it's also a chargeable offence.

Only the SAF will charge but they are not at the custom so officers there belong to a totally different department. Won't really be bother to mind such a small issue. Unless SAF starts a unit to man the custom then that's a different matter [sweatdrop] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcf777 Turbocharged January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 (edited) SAF where got time to standby a guy at Airport to charge passengers wearing SAF boot.
