A truly amazing find! - 5.11 ATAC Shield, 8in Boot, Black, 12026

These boots are not good.....they are F@#%ING FANTASTIC! I knew that they were great quality. They feel broken in as soon as you put them on. They slip on and off like buttered silk. And I had read plenty of reviews on other sites about how others had broken the zipper, or that some of the stitching had popped, but what they failed to realize was that the zipper is to aid in taking the boots on and off in conjunction with the laces. I'm on my feet in these for 4-8 hours a day, 6 days a week. There is maybe ten minutes of break-in time for these, and well, I just simply love them. My feet are still comfortable, and I don't slip (much) when wearing these. Get these now! The sales that OpticsPlanet runs often will save you money and you will not regret it!

Oh, and the knife pockets on both boots are awesome! They are a little short, so a regularly sized folder will stick out just a little, but they retain the knife well if your clip is long enough.
