Reviews

This is the 3rd pair

"This is the 3rd pair I have owned can't ask for a better pair of boots"

— James T. (5/5)

I followed the instructions perfectly

"I followed the instructions perfectly and still couldn't get the right fit. I needed to return these boots three times before I got a pair that fit. Then when I did, they were so uncomfortable that they rubbed my skin open and made me bleed. . . but at that point, you can't return them."

— Rook C. (2/5)

Best Boot I've Ever Had!

"I've been wearing these boots for over two years now, and they are by far my favorite footwear of all time! They provide excellent support and grip while hiking all sorts of terrain, and are even keep my feet dry from snow. They are also quite comfortable to wear for long hours on concrete. The only drawback is that I can't put them on with just the zipper, but that might be due to how thin my ankles are. I just don't bother with the zipper and lace them up every time like other boots, and it works fine."

— Brenden (5/5)

Boots

— Melissa F. (5/5)

Great product, very very few

"Great product, very very few customer complaints. Like, I can't remember the last issue we had."

— Kevin P. (5/5)

Might be a lemon, boots are NOT waterproof

"Not sure if i got a lemon or what, but these boots definitely are not waterproof. Submerged them (only enough water to cover the very top of my foot, so i should have plenty of space left before i take on water as they are 8” tall) only for them to IMMEDIATELY take on water through the mesh like tongue area. Feet were somewhat wet for the rest of the day. Otherwise, boots look nice, feel nice, and seem pretty grippy. I do like the added insoles to make the shoe a bit tighter. Overall, I wouldn’t buy this boot for the waterproofing, but after 2 days of wearing them im quite pleased otherwise."

— Trevor S. (3/5)

Good Boots for Rugged Places.

"I wear them from Alaska to Washington and California. They keep my feet dry and on track. My only qualm is the eyelet wearing through and cutting my laces on both boots after seven months. The rest of the boot is in great shape and polishes up for formal occasions."

— Matt (4/5)

Great Fit

"Great Fit"

— Levi C. (5/5)

I find the boots overall

"I find the boots overall fit good, one the reasons I chose these was they have the quick lace feature. the zippers tend to bind when attempting to pull them up. I would have liked them much better if they had the Full Height Speed Lace System like the Corcoran II and side zip like the Bates Paratrooper."

— William K. (3/5)

good for the price

"zipper could be longer and, they make a weird cracking noise while walking."

— Ted B. (3/5)

Q&A

Are these boots warm for winter use?
This boot is waterproof and designed for all weather performance, but it is not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For colder winter conditions, we recommend pairing them with warm socks for added comfort.
What is the length of the laces that come with the 6" boot and the 8" boot?
The 6" boot has 66" laces and the 8" boot has 78" laces.
can these boots pass through a metal detector. I work in a prison and have to go through a metal detector before entering the building.
The grommets and eyelets for the laces are made of metal, so their detection will depend on the sensitivity of the metal detector used.
I wear a 9.5 wide or d size in women. What size should I orden in men? Should i order a 7.5 Wide in men.
A women's 9.5W will be a 7.5W in men's for our boots.
Where ate boots manufactured?
These are made in China.
