RIELD Men's Military Tactical Work Boots Side Zipper Jungle Army Combat Bootie

I’ve worn side-zip boots, both dress and work boots, for 40 years as they’re easy to get on and off plus support your ankle better than regular shoes. Unfortunately, they seem to be getting harder and harder to find, especially with respect to dress boots. The last pair of work boots I bought, approximately two years ago and for over $100, are getting worn and, after 2-3 hours of yard work, including pushing the mower for an hour, were causing my feet to ache and swell so much that I would be hobbling around a day or two afterwards until my feet felt better. I found these on Amazon and thought I’d give them a try. I’m glad I did, especially given the price. I’ve worn them three times doing yard work, and they are so, so, so much more comfortable than the boots I had been wearing, and they seem to getting more comfortable with each use. Most importantly, my feet don’t ache nor have they swollen after wearing these boots for several hours. They also look nice (I bought the black ones) and I wouldn’t have a problem wearing them as casual dress shoes.A few other thoughts and opinions:The upper eyelets are actually little tubes that the lace runs through. In my opinion, they’re a little bit harder to pull the laces through than ordinary eyelets and over time would probably abrade the laces faster than regular eyelets, but since the zipper eliminates the need to regularly tie and untie the laces, this probably isn’t a big deal. On the plus side, eyelets are better than speed hooks as the laces would probably come off the hooks when the boots are unzipped.The sole appears to be a little softer than some work boots I’ve owned, and as a result will probably wear a bit faster when walking on surfaces like asphalt and concrete. Time will tell.I have yet to wear them on wet or icy surfaces or in the snow, so it will be interesting to see how they compare to the soles on other boots I’ve owned.Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase, especially given the price, and will probably order another pair.

Appear to be ok no issues noticed so far.

Se sienten de calidad y resisten bien el uso rudo

Great price, very well made and comfortable. Very warm and lets your feet dry. Nicely finished inside and out. No side friction on the ankle and heels. The perfect boot. Weight is quite reasonnable. Good zippers. Well designed.

I work at a jail and I needed a quick inexpensive boots when mine was damaged. I had never heard of this brand but for the price I took a gamble and all I can say is WOW! Honestly they fit perfect, my feet don’t hurt after a 12 hour shift. The zipper is smooth. My feet don’t sweat like before. The arch support is incredible and I have high arches. The boots quality for the price is awesome. I’ll keep buying these boots for work and even going to order some to replace my hunting boots!
