Ok, I'm giving these boots four stars because I love them but acknowledge that better boots exist.  There is a caveat here: they are four star boots for GARRISON use, for field use I'd give them two or three stars.  I've had them for over six months now, which I think is a reasonably fair amount of time to have them and do a review.<br /><br />I bought these boots specifically for my garrison desk job, and I was looking for a boot that would be light and airy but also 100% 670-1 approved for use.  These boots looked pretty good.  I'd never bought boots off the internet but the price difference was about 40$ cheaper than MCSS prices so I took a chance.  It worked out pretty well: these boots were everything I wanted for a garrison boot.  Comfortable for long periods of time, they don't get crazy sweaty and stinky when you're at a desk, they keep a nice neat appearance without a lot of fuss, and a good fit and feel overall.<br /><br />HOWEVER, I recently took the Air Assault 10 day class and wore these boots out in the field.  My opinion of these boots is completely different in a field setting.  First, these boots do not have a lot of arch support.  My feet are pretty flat, which is irrelevant when you're at a desk but extremely relevant when you're on your feet 12+ hours straight during a day.  The lack of support really killed my feet during the 10 day class.  Long ruck marches are the same story, that lightness and comfort that is desirable at a desk translates into a lack of support during a high speed, high sweat three hour/12 mile ruck march.  If you are going to be out in the field doing real soldier hooah stuff this probably isn't going to be the boot for you.  Having said that, these boots are still better in the field than the standard army boot, which is heavy and uncomfortable (at least to me) even when broken in.  I also took these boots up a nice hike up Guadalupe Mt in Texas.  Same story there, I wish I had a boot with a little more support for that hike.  All things considered though, the boot stood up to the hikes and rucks well and I've really inflicted a good hard fun summer on these boots.  They've stood the test pretty well.  Before these I had a pair of Bates that were the opposite, great field boots but uncomfortable when at a desk for long periods.<br /><br />As for durability, I have had no issues with these boots.  Even during hard ruck marches everything on the boot is solid and sturdy, not eyelets have fallen off and no leather seams and stitching has pulled out.  I try to take care of my boots.<br /><br />All in all a really good boot if you are in garrison and standing up in them less than two hours a day or so.  Don't think this is a bad review, I love these boots and would recommend them to a friend/buy them again.  Just not as a field boot, get something a little more field oriented.ke.
