First, this is a decently comfortable boot. Decently. It is not perfect.

PRO's:
*Brand Name
*Quality Leather (will last if maintained, but fall apart if not. Like ANY leather)
*Quality Stitching and fabrics
*Comfortable sole (it feels too hard with the hand, but is perfect on the foot)
*Side zip does not dig into your ankle!
*Polishes easily with KIWI
*Comfort lining really keeps your feet DRY! (I sweat profusely, and my feet are so dry now i need lotion!)
*Zipper side has a comfort fold in it, not open, that is also a leather

CONs:
*Expensive for the materials used, but on par with other boot costs
*Laces are "ribbed" and cheap
*Velcro fluffs up too rapidly (but they provide additional patches if you know how to sew)
*Sole is soft, increases comfort at cost of durability. Fast wear.
*VERY small fit! (I wear 6.5 Wide, I ordered 7,5 wide and should have ordered an 8 wide or 7.5 double wide to make this fit perfectly, this 1/2 size difference is causing bruising on my left foot due to the pressure from the sides)
*The leather under the zipper is too small, it does not stretch. making putting the boot on or taking it off almost painful...way too tight. But perfect when worn, only the donning and removal is difficult.

To be fair, I have different sized feet. I really need an 8 on my left foot only, which is the one getting bruised. But if I move up then my right foot slides around the boot....I would love it if 5.11 offered the ability to buy different sizes, like others do.
