If you want a fast lightweight striker boot and have no concerns for foot protection, then this is the product for you. I find that in a recon or scout role, this boot serves admirably, however in a breaching situation or combat role, I would gladly accept the heavier boots. This boot is great for SRT (Sudden Response Teams) where speed is everything and every ounce you can shed is a matter of life and death. I found that when trudging through a ditch and fast roping down a building, I was glad I had these boots. Yet when it came time to jump two stories, I felt every bit of gravity in my feet and ankles. SRT and Air Assault squads should at least try these boots, but any Airborne should avoid these like the plague.
Pros: Super Lightweight mesh, no waterlogging
Cons: shoelaces don't hold, shoe doesn't hold tight
