I received a pair of these boots as a gift this past Christmas and can honestly say that in my combined 22 years of experience in both Law Enforcement and the US Army these are the best and most comfortable pair of boots Ive ever worn. Ive owned and worn boots from Altama, Corcoran, Rocky and Danner in the past and there is truly no comparison. Although these boots don't begin to hold the spit shined look that a trusty pair of Corcoran II jump boots or Altama jungles do they cant begin to match the comfort and insane light weight of the Danner Tachyon's. In recent years my department began issuing Danner Acadia boots which I absolutely hated due to their heavy weight, lack of arch support and useless soles that wore out roughly every six months. These Tachyons are literally more comfortable than most athletic shoes Ive worn over the years. Will they hold up for ten plus years like my old Corcoran II's, probably not, but the price being under $150.00 is far cheaper and than most of my other boots which were twice as heavy and not waterproof. If you're in a line of work that requires a duty boot I cannot recommend these enough.
