Most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned
Awesome fit, comfortable, lightweight, and great all-around traction. Spray regularly with 3M waterproofer to help your feet stay drier, they handle the rain well enough but in puddles you will get your feet wet.

Love them.
Been wearing these pretty often and in my humble opinion, they are comfortable and they fit well.

Great boots
The boots fit perfectly and are very comfortable . These are my favorite boots, I hope I can find them in black. They are definitely worth the money.

Not quite the right color for USAF OCP.
Really nice comfy boots but a little too light of color for 36-2903 uniform wear. Have to return…

Great, but maybe not great for wide feet. UPDATE - not very durable.
Very solid, great grip, once you have the laces adjusted the zip side is all you need. I have slightly wide feet. Normally don't have many issues with it, but these are different. The toebox is narrow. I'm hoping that as they break in things will loosen up. Toes hurt on the outside edge after hiking for a while. Seem to be solidly built though, and great ankle support. UPDATE 2/2/26 I have worn these boots less than 20 times and they are already starting to fall apart.

These were alright comfort and functionality wise. The colour is definitely a lot lighter than coyote brown, more tan than anything. I ended up returning.
