Fit well and are comfortable
They are heavy, but that's a good thing. Fairly sure these will last quite a long time. ...And since it is hard to find size 15 anything, that fit really well, that is amazing. The arch support isgood, bit I already know I need more, but that's a me problem.
First impressions are of a good boot that's a bit snug because of the lining inside (when ordered true to size). The lace seems to be a bit short because of this, but it does feel sturdy and close enough to my old paratrooper boots to feel nostalgic. It does feel like real leather and takes to a shine quickly. The zipper is useless for taking it off quick just helps a bit when you don't want to unlace it too much. Foot size feels true to size but the top of the boot (ankle and up) feels tight. Would recommend but will have to break them in to stretch them out and maybe get longer laces. Update: They aced -25 °F weather keeping my feet warm while i chiseled ice from my driveway. Got 84" laces and works well with zipper for quick on and off without undoing laces. Loving these boots, would recomend.
I’ve had the boots for about a month now. I work in public safety and I’m on my feet a lot. First impressions were that the boot were built well and had plenty of support. However the break in process was more than I expected. They were incredibly stiff an hard to get on and off to start with. I also noticed that the laces were too short to be tied if they were laced all the way up. I ended up buying some longer laces for them. They were also extremely stiff and gave me blisters initially but after I wore them for a couple of weeks and brushed them down with neats foot oil every day, they finally got easier to manipulate after much walking and no longer gave me blisters
This is the 3rd pair I've purchased over the last 10 years. I love these boots. The 1st pair held up until the soles wore flat. The 2nd pair's zipper cover snap flap unstiched rather quick but the boots still functioned well. Decided to replace them and the new ones came in the mail. The same day, I laced and zipped them up. The very first pull of the zipper and the zipper seam seperated (see picture). I read this complaint in some negative reviews and ignored it considering the previous pairs I've owned never had this issue. The zipper quality is clearly different (and cheaper) from the previous pairs. They're being returned and I'm opting for a refund instead of replacement.
Great looking and fitting boot that holds a great shine
I got these boots in September 2016 and I have worn them every day from then till now.They have helded up great for 14 months of use and abuse.I work a 10 hour shift then walk home 5 miles.My feet still feel great in them but the soles are worn down on both boost.They took 2 weeks of pain to break in . I almost sent them back but after the break in they are the most comfortable boots I have ever had.The side zip is useless. They have to be laced up & up on no short cuts. With Mink oil on them they are fully warter proof.Kiwi parade gloss shines these up like no other quickly.I will replace these boots in 6 more monthsthat's 2 years of hard use for 150$ .Thats not bad .I wasn't given anything to write this review & it's my first review that I have ever wrote.I have taken the time to write this because I love these boots. By the way in the winter they keep you warm with good socks.Know that you've made a good choice enjoy.
Right out of the box these seem like good quality boots.I zip the boot on and get the laces where they need to be and then I unzip the boot and go to take my foot out, but my foot can't get through the ankle hole even when it's unzipped.I do not have wide feet or ankles. So I should be able to pull my foot out but I couldn't do it without unlacing the boot. Also the boots I bought were 11.5 Wide.The whole point of having the zipper on the side is to make it easy to get in and out of the boot.If I can't get my feet out of these boots that means nobody can get their feet out of these boots.Unfortunately I'll have to send these back. I'm really disappointed because the boots do look really good and they're comfortable.
