"I recently received these boots. So fat I find them very uncomfortable. Hoping in time they will loosen up and fit better. Quality seems decent, but comfort is lacking. Also, other boots like this I have owned I could just undue the zipper to put the boots on/off. With these I have to undue the zipper and the laces to get them on and off. Not ideal."

"A couple of years ago I bought a pair of 10. 5 extra wide at a local brick and mortar store and really liked them. When it came time to purchase a new pair I discovered the store no longer carried them, so I searched online. Ordered the first pair and upon opening the box, my first thought that I had been mistakenly sent women's boots as they were were very small. However the label stated Men's 10. 5 extra wide but I couldn't even begin to get my foot in the boot. Returned that pair and eventually ordered another pair and had the same result. The only thing I can imagine is that the first pair I bought at the store were mislabeled."

"Good quality boots. Highly recommended."

"The boots are comfortable. The price is very reasonable. The extra insole comes in handy if you need the extra height. I chose these because I have always worn 5. 11 A. T. A. C. boots and I wanted to try something different. I am not disappointed at all in choosing Propper."

"I had a bad experience with Magnum boots so I decided to go with Propper this time. First pair I got was a "lemon". 2nd pair I received from Propper customer service was good. The 2nd pair took me a minimum of 2 weeks (due to the side zipper) to break in, despite the fast lace system in place. With Kiwi brand boot polish, I was able to do a decent shine on the toe within 30 min - 1 hr. True to sizing, I ordered my usual 8. 5M. The 2nd pair lasted me on duty at least a year, retiring out-of-service around 1. 5 years (8-12 hrs in use a weekday, 40-60 hrs a week) . For those who like their boots tied tight like mine, I would recommend finding another boot that is full lace up as the side zipper will press uncomfortably against the side of the ankle. The velcro strap that covered the side zipper was annoying throughout my shifts: Velcro either kept "popping out" or wouldn't hold at all. Hopefully Propper will eventually release an all leather 8" or 6" duty boot that is full lace up without the hassle of a YKK side zipper or the flimsy Velcro around the calf of the boot."
