Aggressive thread, comfortable boot, no break in
Aggressive thread makes it a great offroading boot, not my first choice through for concrete but definitely the best boot I've used for dirt and sand. Doesn't need to be broken in it's comfortable from the second you put it on.

Great boots, just not for my feet
Boots were fantastic quality, good stitching, rivets, and sole, even the tongue had extra padding. the boot seems to made to a much higher quality that the military requires.they ran only slightly larger in length than company suggest. the width of shoe was spot on, and the support was fantastic.the problem for me was the extra support band on the ankle. only on the right foot though, the height of that strap and stitch line was directly on top bone on inside of ankle. and it felt like someone duct taped a pebble to inside of ankle, quite painful.had a friend try on boots, and they fit him perfect with no pain at all.company is doing full refund, and ill try to find another pair.Great boots, very impressed, just not made for my feet.

Good boot
This is (now) is a great boot. Solid and comfortable. I'll get to why not a 5th star in a moment.I've now had them a couple of weeks and worn them a dozen times. On pavement, dirt, gravel, river rocks, and up and down hills they been solid all the way. Took very little break in time. They have Vibram soles which are a dream for traction and stability, and the ankle support is superb. I'm anticipating many miles to come in these.The only con is regarding the laces. I like to tie a surgeon's knot down where my ankle breaks and create an ankle lock to keep my foot tight to the rear. To do that the laces need to be undone down to that point. Therefore I need speed hooks in the top four rows. These have thru laces all the way. I had to change those out. Local cobblers wanted between $5 and $8 a hook to do that, so 16 would have been a huge expense so I made swap myself. No big deal. Since this is my own personal fetish I wouldn't have knocked off a start for that.What did cost a star was the particular thru lace devices these come with. If they had been simple eyelets all the way up that would have been fine. I still would have swapped them for speed hooks, but at least they would have worked properly for normal lacing. But these came with weird vertical tube lace holders - and they are dreadful. Two problems: 1) when the laces are loosened but held in this vertical format the loops get all entangled with each other and 2) the laces fit so tightly in the tubes you frequently need to use both hands to pull them thru, one to hold the tube and one to pull the lace. It's a mess. Horrible design.In truth this is a really great boot. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want speed hooks on a tall boot, but to each his own. But please lose those damn tubes and put in regular eyelets.

Pretty comfortable boots!
Trying the boots on was a great experience; the leather was dry and stiff but still comfortable out of the box. That being said, the method I used to reduce he break in time has dramatically increased the level of comfort.The first thing one should do with a new pair of boots like this is to take a shower with them on your bare feet. Tie them on as tight as you can and get them good and soaked. This will soften the leather. Retighten the laces as needed but keep the leather soaked. Once your shower is complete, keep wearing the boots until they're mostly dry.These boots feel absolutely amazing now that they've (somewhat) molded to my feet. I have plenty of room to wiggle my toes in the toe box, the width is perfect for a good solid wrap around the forefoot and I have great ankle support. I do have a little play in the heel, going up and down, but I don't know (yet) if this will cause a problem that will cause blisters. I'll update after a couple rucks around the neighborhood. All of this is with wearing medium thickness Fox River socks (also fantastically comfy).There is a removeable insole in this boot and the bottom is not soft but quite solid, but has soft foam glued on top. I'm not wearing any arch support currently, but after a few hours of wearing the boots, my feet feel pretty good with little pain in the arch.Quite a good set of boots so far and only time and a few miles will tell how good they really are.

STURDY!
I love them! I'm in the Army with the Engineers. I spend a lot of time in the field and do a lot of walking and while they are not as light as some boots on the market (the Oakleys, new Nikes, etc.) They are very supportive and sturdy in design. The sole and insole are made with quality material and should last a lot longer than the others. If you don't like how they look in the picture they look better on feet.

Best ACU boots yet
Been enlisted since 2021 and oh my god, these boots are amazing! I had the super minimalist Tactical Research boots before this and really missed having some bounce and support.These boots solved that! From the mesh liner to the way the fit hugs my feet to what looks and feels like a “cast” sole, I highly recommend everyone try these.Thinking bout getting some civilian boots too

Buy NOW, stop thinking
First I gave only 4 star because at this quality and price they SHOULD have a pull loop/tab on back of shank to help pulling boots on...c'mon guys.....other than that 5 stars. Size is dead on...I'm 10.5 in all shoes and these run true to size. They are as comfortable if not more than my most cushy running shoes. The laces start closer to toe than my other boots and allow perfect "snugging up" from toe to calf. The quality is 1st class and lugged sole rubber extends up over toe allowing super toe grip on any surface. Cushioning is exceptional as well as support. These have proven ALL DAY comfort with rarely any need adjust lacing. If they would just add pull tab to back to aid pulling on I wouldn't have to unlace 75% of boot to get on....but only a minor issue, I would buy again and likely will when worn out in 5-10 years if not another color sooner regardless.

Comfortable and true to size
Purchased for work. They meet all standards required. The sizing is as advertised but I would say that I have a wide foot but didn't select wide by accident. I'm happy because they fit perfect!

Errore con la taglia ordinata 45 è arrivato 45,5 Ma la mia taglia si adatta
La confezione è arrivata in cattive condizioni a causa delle rughe strappate, ma le scarpe sono eccellenti
