Very comfortable boot. Has a feel much like a good trail running shoe. Great for hot weather. I wore this boot most days of the week for a year in Iraq with no problems. I do not recommend this boot with full battle rattle and heavy packs on rocky terrain as the sole is a little too soft for that use and you’ll end up sore or bruised feet. An additional benefit is that these boots are 100% metal-free. You won’t beep going through detectors.

I bought these for an extended trip to Africa after trying other brands over the years. Though I would have preferred a steel shank for foot protection, these are thick enough to reduce the risk of punctures reaching the foot. I found these boots to be extremely comfortable for long times on my feet, durable, as well as reasonably priced. When new the laces sometimes stick sliding through the fourth eyelet, but with some wear that went away. Caked mud came off the treads without too much issue, but the tread pattern is complex enough that had I been in muddy conditions regularly, a Panama tread would have been preferable. The padded area over the ankle bones were very much appreciated, also.
