These things wear like tennis shoes, but are field tough, water resistant, and come pre-broken in. You can put them on today and go on a ten mile hike with no blisters or problems. Wish I had discovered these years ago. Best boot ever owned.

Extremely comfortable with almost no break-in. The cushioning lasts for a long time. Blackhawk can be contacted for replacement insoles to revive the cushioning when it eventually wears out. These boots eat almost all types of terrain with minimal slipping. They can be a little warm in the desert heat. A little spray on waterproofing and they are the perfect boot. This was my second pair after putting on countless miles in AFG and here in the states for 2.5 years on my first pair.

Haven't put them through anything to tough yet. But took them on 5k ruck march right out of the box. Felt like putting on a new pair of running shoes. Wore them goose hunting once. Took on the mud no problem. Super comfortable and tread cleaned up easily despite being very aggressive. Have no complaints yet. I highly recommend the boots and opticsplanet.com. their customer service is top notch. Originally ordered the wrong color. Had to send them back to get the military approved tan. They re-did my order and had the right style out lickity split.

Get you some of these boots. If you need tactical boots or just needs some work boots with a tactical look, these are it. Boots right off the bat were SUPER comfy,felt like wearing a fresh pair of jordans. The codura material is second to none- tuff and rugged. Bar none- best boots for the money. Will definitly buy again.

Picked these up based on recommendation from other cadets in my battalion. Can't believe how much better these were than my issued boots. Real light, comfortable,and no break-in time. My foot doesn't fall apart from blisters after a ruck march anymore. At first I thought they would be way to hot but it seems so far that they still keep your feet cool, even with the extra padding. Plan on ordering a second pair.

GREAT Boots. Comfortable and light. I have been in the Army for 15 years and I never had better boots. Fit like sneakers but strong enough for the rocks of Afghanistan.

I have owned this specific boot since the day we Army switched to DCUs. Roughly 7 years. I have owned approximately 9 pairs of these, and LOVE THEM. I have been in the Army for 22 years, I have 4 years of deployed combat time, and these boots have held up great. They seem to last me about 3 to 4 years. They are light, great comfort, and semi water resistant, but lets your foot breathe. Out of 9 pairs I have owned, only one of them had stitching come loose in the tune of about an inch on the heal. They were within the one year warranty, so I sent them in, and within a week or so, I had new ones back. It should be noted for 11Brovo types, I am an Apache Pilot. So I dont spend the mileage you guys do, but I can say for a fact, working in and around helicopters, boots tend to get tears on the sides of them due to rivets and sheet metal. These boots hold up all day long. The only reason why I get rid of them and buy new ones is they are covered in aircraft grease and oil. I have only had one ...

These are well made and provide excellent traction. I use them often for cross country hunts in warm weather (40-110 degrees). I love the lightweight comfort and ankle support. So far, I have tried rucking with packs under 50 pounds. Note these are not insulated, waterproof, steel shank- but you can cover great distances comfortably.

This is the second pair I am buying. From the minute you put them on you want to go for a ruck march they are that comfortable. They have so much cusioning they almost bounce. And this is by far the best price you can get them!
