5.11 Tactical Men's A.T.A.C. 2.0 8-Inch Storm Boots, Ortholite Footbed, Slip-Resistant Outsole, Style 12392

4/28/23Great first impression with these boots, very comfortable! grips the Achilles perfectly. True to size as well, I wear a 10 and the 10's fit perfectly snug with just enough room in the toe and a set of insoles for extra comfort.I added some extra protection on the outside of the toe with some brown Flex Seal spray so thats why they look a little different than the stock boots. Ive also done a couple coats of some Camp Dry spray to hopefully help repell any water since I work in an animal shelter and frequently use a hose to clean kennels.I will update this review as time goes on since I know you cannot judge a pair of boots off a day or two of use.5/23/23Still love these boots! BUT they are just a fraction too small I think. The left boot is making my big toe numb from just barely pushing against it. So I have ordered another pair half a size up. Other than that they are still holding up very well and comfortable in every other aspect.4/3/24See picture. I put these boots through the ringer for 11 months. Near daily use. getting wet almost everyday. dirt, mud, gravel, poop (I work at an animal shelter) you name it. They did start to come apart in a few places about 8 months in, and a hole developed at the toe crease on the right boot around that same time. But they never fully came apart or became uncomfortable. I probably could have push them to a year but I decided it was time for another pair. Great boots for the money, im fine with getting a year out of them.

I love these boots so much that this is my 3rd pair of these excat boots. I bought 2 in black and these khaki ones. They last forever! The zipper makes these boots. High quality thick zipper. The zipper will not break or snap or malfunction. I will not work without high boots like these, especially without a zipper. I am on my feet 10-16hrs and high boots that are tight and sturdy but comfortable are extremely important. I need boots that are long lived, easy to put on and off, high qulaity and comfortable. These boots check all those off the list. They have super traction on the bottom when they are brand new its awesome. I have worn dozens of boots of the last 15yrs and these are the best. They will not disappoint. For high boots I don't feel like they are very heavy, compared to the under Armour line of course they weigh more but ask anyone that wears the under Armour boots they pay more money for boots that don't last as long. I am going on 4yrs for one pair. Your lucky to get 6 months out of most other brands. Is the inside sole soft, not really but you should be wearing inserts in all shoes especially boots. Shoe companies don't waste their money on the inner soles because they know people are going to use inserts. They are water resistant not water proof. I would not stand in a deep puddles for long time. If they do get wet, you just unzipp them and let them dry out. The boots inside have paddling around ankles which keeps them comfortable. Do they get hot, yea depending on the weather but they are 8inch boots. After breaking them in which is not long they will conform to your legs and feet. I really have nothing negative to say about these boots. If you have been a shoes wearer all your life then these might take time to adjust to walking in them and 2 seconds longer it takes to lace them up. If your a boot wearer then you'll love these right away.

I've worn boots for most of my life (76 yr old) and these are hands down the most comfortable boots out of the box I've ever worn. They fit my size 10-1/2 wide feet perfectly with heavy socks. The insoles were more comfortable than my Brooks Beasts shoes. They are light in weight. The laces were long enough as they came. Good support and comfortable to walk in right away. I'm 5'6", 190 lb and they fit my ankles and legs perfectly.I can't wait to see how they break in and hold up. They should only get better as they break in. Time will tell.Edit: I've been wearing these boots pretty much daily for 2 months now and if anything they are more comfortable now. The added support that these boots give my feet and ankles has really improved my stability. I have a damaged left Achilles tendon and the way these boot are are constructed has protected that area very well and relieved the tenderness and occasional numbing in that area.The slip-resistant soles are truly a big improvement over all the athletic shoes I've worn over the past years.I'll be ordering a second pair to keep in reserve.
