www.lockergnome.com If you’ve never been to a military surplus store, you may have a vague idea of it being a shady hangout for paranoid survivalists and fringe militia groups. While you may very well encounter this element there, you’re just as likely to run into creeps and weirdos at the 7-11 or Denny’s. (They’re everywhere, man! Everywhere!)

From garments to tools to footwear built to last, military surplus stores can cover many of a frugal geek’s needs.

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn (next to the Magnum Sidewinder HPi review to come). They are very lightweight (22 oz on my scale). and wear well so far. These are a quality set of boots that will set you back about 0 or so. Not a bad value considering what you get for the money! Clarification from Magnum: Magnum does have insoles for sale under accessories section on the website (www.magnumboots.com and with most of their retailer partners. Also, they have listened to the consumers and will be replacing the laces of the Spider Urbans from here on out.
