Outstanding boots. Light and configurable right out of the box. Busted my side zipper on my 5.11 ATAC boots for the second and last time. Decided to go full boot sans side zipper. The way these are designed makes them easy to put on and pull off unlike other 8in duty boots. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing tactical boots. It's almost like a high top. You can feel good about this purchase. I'm in security and I'm on my feet all day.
