Very comfortable boot. Has a feel much like a good trail running shoe. Great for hot weather. I wore this boot most days of the week for a year in Iraq with no problems. I do not recommend this boot with full battle rattle and heavy packs on rocky terrain as the sole is a little too soft for that use and you’ll end up sore or bruised feet. An additional benefit is that these boots are 100% metal-free. You won’t beep going through detectors.

I bought these for an extended trip to Africa after trying other brands over the years. Though I would have preferred a steel shank for foot protection, these are thick enough to reduce the risk of punctures reaching the foot. I found these boots to be extremely comfortable for long times on my feet, durable, as well as reasonably priced. When new the laces sometimes stick sliding through the fourth eyelet, but with some wear that went away. Caked mud came off the treads without too much issue, but the tread pattern is complex enough that had I been in muddy conditions regularly, a Panama tread would have been preferable. The padded area over the ankle bones were very much appreciated, also.

 |  | Dear Zappos Customer Service, You are just great! Thank you for upgrading this order for priority shipping. I also wanted to send a much belated thank you for a service you did for me about a year ago. At the time, my son broke his leg very badly and we needed some "basketball breakaway pants" to put over it so he could go out of the house, as the cast was quite large. We couldn't find them anywhere, but my mother found them on your website. She called to order the pants and when she told you of our situation you sent them immediately on overnight delivery at no charge to us. While that may seem like a small thing to you, it was a HUGE thing to us and we were grateful beyond measure. Thank you for your kindness. I have been a devoted customer, will continue to be and will always recommend you when I can to friends and family. God bless you and I hope your business thrives. Kindly, Allyson T. |  | ~ Allyson T., October 26 2009
