Great boots!
August 15, 2017
Really good pair of boots at affordable price, good box and quality whether you look. i just love it. I'll buy some more.
Comfortable and reliable construction after two months or so
August 1, 2017
Comfortable and reliable construction after two months or so. Definitely not high quality but they are good for the price and work good for summer hiking boots. They don't seem to be waterproof if that's an issue for you.

My husband likes these boots because they are lightweight and don't hurt his back after wearing them for long hours. They do stain easier and don't seem to last more than a few months. But all his boots never last too long

They look great but are terribly uncomfortable, then again they are boots for less than $50.
Great boots for garrison
June 8, 2016
I've had these boots for two years now and it's still pretty good. The soles on the other hand, are of a cheap material. It's a great garrison boot no one bats an eye about it
Fit as expected
July 8, 2015
These boots felt comfortable albeit slightly large as they don't come in half sizes. I normally wear a size 10.5 and at first ordered a 10 but these were too small. I reordered a size 11 and these fit slightly large. I compensated by using two pair of socks and they fit just fine. A number of the reviews indicated that one should order a size smaller but this was not the case in my experience.

Nice boots. Very comfortable. I didn't pay attention to the reviews but they were true. If you are a 9 like me. You may order an 8 1/2. Overall very good product. Not meant for rain though.
Good value

Looks good, soft leather. I wear these while riding motorcycle. Nice soles and heals. Order one size small and they should fit great. A very good price for the quality.

Boots were very narrow. Had them stretched. They gave only a little. Never got to wear them. They were lost with my luggage on the way to Afrika.
These look great, but the treads are hollow
July 29, 2017
These look great, but the treads are hollow. I took these hiking at Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania to put these to the test after I broke them in walking around town on sidewalks. I took the hardest trails the park had to offer. These boots had moderate grip on wet rocks, and were fine on dry ground. At the end of the day, I gave the treads an inspection and was a bit dismayed at the fact that they hollow treads, I had 3 holes in the bottom of them.They look nice and are pretty comfortable, but they aren't exactly built for adventures.
look good, decent durability
November 22, 2016
Pros: look good, decent durability, much lighter than issue boots, 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of anything else.Cons: the boots stretch quite a bit, thought to get a good fitI like the tread and the speed lace, and the weight is much better than standard issue boots, but I can't find a pair that fits properly. Anything that's bearable to wear at the outset stretches and becomes sloppy within a few weeks. But for the price, they look good and seem to be reasonably durable. I've had 2 pairs now, in different sizes, but they held up well to garrison life for over 6 months with minimal wear, but again, too sloppy to be safe for rucking or outdoor field use. However, the older guys do all seem to like them and want to know where I got the Panama soles.
You get what you pay for
May 9, 2015
At first I rated the boots at 5 stars however after wearing them for several months I felt compelled to revisit my rating. I only using them for very light work and I'm disappointed in the quality of the boot. The metal part of the lower eyelets on both boots came apart on and the sole of the boots wore extremely fast. I understand at times thing are too good to be true however I was hoping they would have lasted a little longer.
Sizes run very small...
March 9, 2015
I've worn the same size 9R boot for every desert boot I've owned while in the service and out but these are far smaller than a 9R. The boot itself is a solid boot and no complaints but it's about two sizes too small. Is there a exchange program for these with the seller?

They look like they will fall apart in a matter of months, but if they hold the winter I will be happy
Comes a whole number bigger in size
May 19, 2016
I was a little disappointed about the boot sizes. Seems to come a whole number bigger in size. I'm a 9.5 and it was way too big. I returned the 9.5 and requested a 9. And I was still too big. I gave them away to my cousin.

wore these boots 3 to 5 times a week for a little over two months, the whole side let loose where it meets the sole, cant be fixed
Good if you dont plan on wearing them
November 6, 2015
Not very durable...second pair I got and the soles tear apart in chunks. Never had a pair of combat boots do this. (I had to return the first pair for same reason)... this was probably why they were so cheap. Same brand was selling for over $100 on a new issue military uniform and equipment sellers. Buyer beware.
and I can say without question that these are the worst I have ever had
September 17, 2015
I have gone through a lot of boots over the years, and I can say without question that these are the worst I have ever had. The only reason I gave them 2 stars and not 1 is because of how quickly they were delivered. When I got them, they were really tight and stiff. I expected this to be the case so I didn't worry. I showered in them then went for a walk till they dried. I got quite a few blisters, but once again, I expected this. After about 6 road marches they started feeling pretty nice and I was about to classify them as the best cheapest jungle boots ever, then they got a hole in the sole (I have never seen this before). The soles are complete and utter garbage and will fall apart as soon as you get em broken in. When all is said and done, I got maybe 50 miles out of these boots. That is roughly a dollar per mile. Just bite the bullet and get Nike boots. In the long run it is cheaper.

I advise against this boot.1. Sizing led to confusion.2. Wrinkles when tied.3. Weak sole-shoe bond (ripped off upon removal).4. Hella wide, my own fam called me Bigfoot everytime I wore them. Lol.5. Platform is somehow... cheap feeling.--Pro--Okay for hiking if you have good foot coordination.
Very light duty shoe.
October 17, 2016
Had to adjust my review over time. Initially I like these ok, but I found them a little uncomfortable and this was helped tremendously by using insoles. It's stated they were too big so I did order accordingly.I wore them almost daily for 2 months at work and in the yard, etc. I do not suggest this. More of a shoe for looks than anything else.As I was tugging them off one evening I separated the sole from the body of the shoe.I know they're inexpensive, but I expected a bit more life than that.
Not built for work.
August 19, 2015
These are not work boots. I am not certain what category they should be in but I bought them for work. Cheaply made to look good on a website. Returning these ASAP.

Just noticed how bad this pair was that I received from seller "BIGFLY" the suede is scuffed in several areas a weird red spot on one foot and one lace is close to ripping apart. I ordered my girlfriend a pair from another seller and a total difference where her boots look actually brand new flawless and mine look worn down with several defects. I guess you have to watch which seller you purchase from as far as durability I only wear them for casual purpose and dont see my pair getting holes on the bottom sole.
Buyers beware
September 8, 2016
If you read everyone's review on questions they say they run small. Not true. I know shoes are a hard thing to buy over the internet, one pair does fit like the other. I could understand if it was a 1/2 size bigger or smaller, but when it's 1 size bigger or smaller there's a problem. I ordered my size 10 needed an 11. The problem I have is I had to pay $9.50 to ship them back. I smell a scam.

Ordered these in a 9 because they say if youre 9 1/2 that these run big and well they dont make half sizes so i tried it out and they definetaly do not fit big they are very tight i will probably end up giving these away very disapointed also they advertise them as desert tan but the boots i received have a greenish tint almost like marine boots so being in the army i received lots of critisizm
Inferior quality, false advertised sizes.
August 3, 2014
Did not fit, had to wear them for two days without a choice since I was relying on these boots and I had no other. Ordered a size 12, they appear 11.
Save your money!
November 10, 2013
Poorly made boots, 4th - 5th time I wore them eyelets started pulling out of the leather when I tied my boots. First one I thought maybe it was a weak spot in the leather that got past quality control, two days later popped an eyelet out on the other boot. Hadn't been used hard, hadn't been wet, they weren't even dirty, and they were falling apart.While I wasn't expecting much for the price, I did expect to wear them more than 10 times before they fell apart.
