Propper Series 100® 8" Waterproof Boot
Looking for a tough, durable, waterproof boot that is AR 670-1 compliant and highly rated by customers? The Series 100® 8" Waterproof boot offers a rugged outsole, comfortable ankle support, convenient NATO speed lace system and is constructed of 100% waterproof cattle hide and nylon. Premium memory foam insole adds a layer of all-day comfort for a day in the field or on the trail while triple row reinforced stitching contributes to the durability of this quality boot.
The waterproof cattle hide leather and 1000D Cordura® nylon of the AR 670-1 compliant Series 100® 8" Waterproof boot can be pulled snug with the quick and easy NATO speed lace system. A special gusset behind the laces helps keep water out while the triple density rubber foundation and an arch made from a durable compound will hold up to the rigors of fast-roping. Premium memory foam insole adds an extra all-day layer of comfort and true U.S. sizing provides a superior fit with excellent weight distribution for men and women (see conversion size chart).

I tested the newly released Propper Series 100 men's boots. This boot is the entry level option for the Propper line of Series 100, 200 and 300 boots. The Series 100 is available in three configurations: black 6" side zip, black 8" side zip and coyote 8". I tested the coyote boot, which is AR670-1 Army Compliant. For beginners, this boot fits extremely well. I have wide feet with a high arch and the inserts really provided excellent balance and arch support for my feet. I wore them at work as well as out hunting and found them to be very comfortable, even when being worn for extended periods of time. The water-resistant suede of the coyote boot wears well and the speed lacing system keeps the boot snug but not uncomfortable. The highlight of this boot is the sole. I found the three part sole to be ultra-durable, and provided excellent traction. It is described as "oil-and-slip-resistant" and I found that to be accurate. While running and jumping in the boot, I thought the foam inserts combined with the rubber outsole really provided good impact absorption. The center of the sole is designed to be "fast-rope compatible". While I did not have the chance to do any fast-roping, I have no doubt that these boots would hold up under those types of conditions. In summary, I found this footwear to be a first-rate entry level boot and recommend it based on comfort and durability.

The Propper Series 100 boot is an 8" military boot built with an anti-microbial, breathable lining and a padded upper. The boot is lightweight, durable and after breaking in, was quite comfortable. The boots arrived with padded insoles that made them very comfortable. The lacing system was quite adequate and allows for quick lacing. The sole is rugged and I found the boots to be quite stable and non-slip. The toe was a little more rounded than I like but I got used to it. These boots are built tough but only a long term test will allow for a complete review as to durability.
