Men's Tactical Work Boots with Side Zipper – Lightweight Leather Military Style, Comfortable, Durable and Breathable for Outdoors

Good quality, nice boot but returned due to small fit

Se ven bien pero si traen detalles, pensé que las puntas venían cosidas y no es así, cuando me las probé me di cuenta que el corte del empeine del pie derecho venía chueco, no se veia simetrico y al momento de amarrarlas quedaban de lado por ese motivo fue que las regrese, aparte vienen un poco reducidas yo pedí 27 y me quedaban justas. La verdad esperaba más

I bought this same pair of boots 5 years ago and used them for camping, hiking, yard work, landscaping, garage work, metal work and moving. I used them only for my dirty and rough jobs to take the beating I didn’t want my nice shoes to take and they’ve held up all this time. They’re still usable, but I figured it’s probably time to retire the old ones so I bought the same pair again. They were water resistant, but if you’re kicking through a lot of dew-covered grass and they get soaked, the water will get through. So not waterproof. I only had a couple issues with them over the lifespan of my old ones. First, early on some stitching came out of the front rubber of the toe, but that never affected anything and the rubber never separated so not really an issue. Second, I had to replace the shoelaces a handful of times because they snapped a few times. Probably due to the nature of the work I did with them in dirt and mud and wet environments creating more friction and rust in the grommets over time. Not a big deal to me. Laces can be replaced and the shoes didn’t fall apart. Third, if I brought the zipper down to the bottom too hard, it used to get stuck there unless I pulled really hard. But they never broke even with the force I put into them so it worked for me. Finally, the velcro wore out after about 3.5 years but still sort of works currently. Upon buying the new pair, they feel very cushy and ergonomic in the soles and upper rim. The zipper works fine all the way to the bottom and the Velcro is new so it works fine of course. Overall I would recommend these shoes. They held up pretty well and are a fair price. I even got the black leather ones for other uses some years ago, but I don’t use those as often. They hold up just as well, they just get hot in the sun as black leather does.

I am a paramedic and use this boot for work. I was skeptical at first due to the low price. Boots usually last me around 6-8 months, I am very hard on them. I will update this as I use them more but I will list my first impressions below. Pros: Very lightweight boot, I don't feel weighed down but it still seems to have plenty of traction. I have used it so far in muddy conditions, as well as climbing up hills and going through puddles. My feet are staying dry and the boot seems to clean up pretty easily. The zipper works nice and does not seem to get jammed up. The value is outstanding, it fits the same as my bates boots and feels like a 511 in terms of comfort. It is blood borne resistant. Cons: The leather feels thinner than other boots I have owned, not sure how this will play out in the long run. Overall: it is a nice boot for the money 49.99 on amazon. It arrived very quickly took 3 days free shipping. I am satisfied with my purchase. I will update this review in about a month. 2 month update: I wear these at work I on average work 72-96 hours a week, these boots have been in rain, mud, oil spills, gas leaks, and house fires. They have held up very well, the only evidence of any damage is one scuff mark on the top of the boot. In wet conditions my feet have stayed dry and warm. They seem to grip the surface well. The best feature I have found so far is they are very lightweight, and after a day on my feet I don't feel like I am dragging them. I highly recommend this. 1 year 5 month update: I figured my boots were getting a little too scratched up, so I would order another pair. I cannot believe these boots have lasted over a year and 5 months. I still wear them everyday. The zipper and Velcro both are working fine. I have polished them a total of 5 times, they have been in rain, sleet, snow, mud, salt, oil, fuel spills, and any other disaster you can name. My feet stay dry in them, I have no complaints. These are a great boot, they are starting to show their age but just from being worn out, never thought I could say that about a boot. I will try to attach some pictures. I am buying new ones today, but will continue to use these around the farm. I will post another update when they finally break. I am also going to try to add some photos of the boots. The pictures of the boots are ones that are over a year and a half old (2nd pair purchased) I am still happy with them, they have lasted. I am not easy on my boots. I have not been compensated in any way shape or form.

It's a great pair of boots, but they won't last long under heavy-use. I work on concrete flooring 4 days out of the week and walk through grass and the like pretty much every day. Externally, the boots are in perfect condition. No complaints... internally though, is all the wear and tear you'd expect... some of it I'm not entirely sure how it's fallen apart or become worn. The front where your toes are, there's some kind of flexible plastic in that area that I assume is to keep the shoes in its form as well as help keep water out. Yeah, that stuff is brittle after 3-4 months and it's ungodly annoying to remove as it falls apart and stabs your toes until you shake it out or go in there and pull it all out with your hand. Removing it doesn't do anything bad to the shoe. There are no detrimental problems after I removed the brittle plastic stuff. The other wear and tear issue is the shoe has a side-zipper and I use it. Makes getting the boots on and off 1000 times easier, but somehow the inside where the back of your leg would sit up in the boot has started wearing off where normally this type of wear and tear is due to your heel rubbing up against it as it goes in the shoes and out of it. I'm not sure why it's showing this type of wear and tear but it is. Also, if you do buy these shoes, prepare to invest heavily into extra sole padding on the inside if you work in conditions like mine. I currently use the original padding. (I assume it's disintegrated by now, the original padding is never worth anything in any shoe), 1 heavy workload padding and 1 gel padding meant for work, and that just barely helps the inevitable foot pain after 2-3 days of work. And you'll likely have to replace all that padding after 2 months or so when you're weight and workload has murdered it into not being as effective as when you first bought it.
