Great boot for working outside. It is very comfortable, even when on your feet all day. Sole is flexible enough to give you feel for driving. Zipper makes on and off easy. Perfect for the desert, with the tan color and high-top design to protect from critters.

The GX-8 Desert composite toe boots. I am pleased with the fit appearance and traction in snow and ice of this pair of boots. The side zipper is great, but I would not recommend them for indoor use. They are a little warm. They are a great outdoor work boot.

Awesome - Wish I had known they made boots like this earlier. Very comfortable, almost like wearing sneakers. It is a boot that doesn’t even have to be broken in. Technically not army reg coz of the zipper but air force and other branches can. I wish they made this in sage green to match the air force once desert boot are no longer reg. I use thick socks and 1/2 size larger than normal is perfect for me.
