Duralight Tactical Boots follow up review

"Well after 2 weeks of wear I must say, I have to change my review. The boots have failed in the pull loop seam area on both boots. I went to take them off this evening and found white stuffing falling out of them. This is not the quality I expected from propper on their boots. I should have looked at the reviews as this seems to happen to others as well."

Duralight Tatical Boot Uncomfortable

"I recently switched careers and moved into private security, I wanted to get all the best comfortable gear I could. I bought these boots because I liked the look. That is where is ended, the look is rugged enough and the air pocket was a nice touch but honestly probably the most uncomfortable boot I have ever owned. I work 12 to 16 hour shifts so needless to say comfort is a huge factor. I understand that all boots need to be broken in so I gave these the benefit of the doubt, I have never had such sore feet after my 2nd shift, I ended up sidelining these and choose to go with Rocky Boots, the 1st pair I bought were similar in looks other than the price they matched up pretty well. Took just a few shifts and they felt like I have worn them for years. I then went with some Doc Martins ( By far my favorite in looks and in comfort ) they are wonderful, I wear them the most often. The 2nd and 3rd pair of Rocky have been working out very well. The only reason I write this is 1st to see what your stance is going to be and 2ndly to let others know they should spend the extra to get a more comfortable boot. It is well worth it. The 2 stars are only for the looks."

Lousy Customer Service

"These boots suck, they are too stiff, impossible to break in. Don't buy them, if you do and want to return them here is what you can expect. "In haste I posted a review and thought I should at least run it by you, long story short I bought the Duralight Tactical Boots and by far the most uncomfortable boots I have ever purchased. I have them boxed up ready for return. My contact info is as follows. Redacted. Response as follows: Matthew, Thank you for contacting Propper International. I appreciate you taking the time to provide us with the honest feedback. I’m not showing where you purchased the product through Propper. Can you please provide a receipt to show proof of purchase?

Q&A

How much do these boots weigh?
The pair of boots will weigh approximately 4 pounds. It can vary slightly on size.
Are these waterproof?
Thank ou for reaching out. These particular boot is not waterproof. If you are needing a waterproof boot I would suggest our Series 100® 6" Waterproof Side Zip Boot: https://www.propper.com/propper-series-100r-6-waterproof-side-zip-boot.html
Are these boots male or female? Just need to know for sizing as size differs for gender
Hi Rebecca, Thanks for reaching out! Our boots are male sizes so you'll want to go down two sizes from the size that you are. So if you're a 9 female you'll want to order a 7 male. If you'd like to take a look at our conversion chart we provide one on all our boot product pages. Just click on Size Chart. Hope this helps!
