Certainly! Here's a 3/5 star boot review based on your feedback:---**3/5 Stars - Good, but with a noticeable flaw**Overall, these boots are decent for the price, but they do have a significant issue that prevents me from giving them a higher rating. The design is stylish, and the materials feel durable enough for everyday wear. They’re comfortable for the most part, and I appreciate the traction on the sole, which works well on various surfaces.However, the fitment on the inner right boot is problematic due to some poor stitching. It feels uneven and slightly uncomfortable. This flaw is disappointing, as it affects the overall fit and comfort of an otherwise solid pair of boots.If the stitching issue were addressed, these boots would be a great value. As it stands, they’re okay but not perfect. I’d recommend trying them on in person if possible to ensure the fit works for you.

These are quite frankly the most comfortable thing I've ever put my big fat caveman feet in. I've bought alot of name brand shoes and boots over the years and these boots far surpass them all this is it! You've found your one stop shop for all around comfort, sometimes if i have a busy day the next day I'll just sleep in them can't say I've ever be able to do that with any other shoe or boot for one thing nothing sticks to these soles for 2 my feet never get wet, sweat, or get sore in these boots. When I went hunting this year I hiked for miles in them slept in them for 3 nights and kept on kicking, when we got all that snow i shoveled in 20° weather for 4 hours my feet never got cold it's like these boots are really magic made by a real wizard. I've probly walked thousands of miles over every terrain in these boots since there my #1 go to and the soles don't show one sign of wear the swade dose but nothing serous the sole is still firmly attached, the strings aren't frayed, none of the clamps are bent, there's no rips or tears he'll these things have out lived the orthopedics I put in there. I littlerly can't say enough good things about these boots there devine.

Purchased for work. They meet all standards required. The sizing is as advertised but I would say that I have a wide foot but didn't select wide by accident. I'm happy because they fit perfect!

Aggressive thread makes it a great offroading boot, not my first choice through for concrete but definitely the best boot I've used for dirt and sand. Doesn't need to be broken in it's comfortable from the second you put it on.

La confezione è arrivata in cattive condizioni a causa delle rughe strappate, ma le scarpe sono eccellenti

Trying the boots on was a great experience; the leather was dry and stiff but still comfortable out of the box. That being said, the method I used to reduce he break in time has dramatically increased the level of comfort.The first thing one should do with a new pair of boots like this is to take a shower with them on your bare feet. Tie them on as tight as you can and get them good and soaked. This will soften the leather. Retighten the laces as needed but keep the leather soaked. Once your shower is complete, keep wearing the boots until they're mostly dry.These boots feel absolutely amazing now that they've (somewhat) molded to my feet. I have plenty of room to wiggle my toes in the toe box, the width is perfect for a good solid wrap around the forefoot and I have great ankle support. I do have a little play in the heel, going up and down, but I don't know (yet) if this will cause a problem that will cause blisters. I'll update after a couple rucks around the neighborhood. All of this is with wearing medium thickness Fox River socks (also fantastically comfy).There is a removeable insole in this boot and the bottom is not soft but quite solid, but has soft foam glued on top. I'm not wearing any arch support currently, but after a few hours of wearing the boots, my feet feel pretty good with little pain in the arch.Quite a good set of boots so far and only time and a few miles will tell how good they really are.

I just received my boots this morning and immediately put them on. They were true to size 9 1/2 W and very comfortable with no break-in needed. I wore them for over 3 miles today with no issues. The only down side is that the speed laces are only on the upper, but I expected that based on other reviews. I will update this at a later time when I put more miles on them.3 months later... I have upgraded my previous review from 4 stars to 5 stars. These boots are extremely comfortable and holding up great! I have done quite a bit of hiking in these boots during the last few months with no issues. There is no wear on the Vibram soles and the construction of the uppers / lowers show no wear either. I do have weak ankles from an injury while I was i the Army and these boots have offered great support where I need it. My greatest regret is that I did not know about these boots during my 21 years and only relied on issued boots. I would highly recommend these boots for anyone wanting mil-spec boots that are comfortable and durable!

This is (now) is a great boot. Solid and comfortable. I'll get to why not a 5th star in a moment.I've now had them a couple of weeks and worn them a dozen times. On pavement, dirt, gravel, river rocks, and up and down hills they been solid all the way. Took very little break in time. They have Vibram soles which are a dream for traction and stability, and the ankle support is superb. I'm anticipating many miles to come in these.The only con is regarding the laces. I like to tie a surgeon's knot down where my ankle breaks and create an ankle lock to keep my foot tight to the rear. To do that the laces need to be undone down to that point. Therefore I need speed hooks in the top four rows. These have thru laces all the way. I had to change those out. Local cobblers wanted between $5 and $8 a hook to do that, so 16 would have been a huge expense so I made swap myself. No big deal. Since this is my own personal fetish I wouldn't have knocked off a start for that.What did cost a star was the particular thru lace devices these come with. If they had been simple eyelets all the way up that would have been fine. I still would have swapped them for speed hooks, but at least they would have worked properly for normal lacing. But these came with weird vertical tube lace holders - and they are dreadful. Two problems: 1) when the laces are loosened but held in this vertical format the loops get all entangled with each other and 2) the laces fit so tightly in the tubes you frequently need to use both hands to pull them thru, one to hold the tube and one to pull the lace. It's a mess. Horrible design.In truth this is a really great boot. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want speed hooks on a tall boot, but to each his own. But please lose those damn tubes and put in regular eyelets.
