I own these. Twice. Just saw them here for cheaper than you see them in the store. I'm a cop in Bronx, NYC. My assignments over the past 6 yrs have me beating thru the empty rubble strewn alleys and trucking thru concrete buildings and metal bridges 4 hrs a day minimum. The other half I'm not in the rpc much either. They hold up well. But for a little more money I've had allot better. If you're expecting above standard performance out if them, you'll get close to it. Traction is decent. Appearance is high Tek. Not a sneaker boot in my opinion. If you just want to sport some tactical looking boots without paying the 250$+, these will do. If you don't need to barrel thru abandon buildings full of glass and loose wet concrete, your ok too. If your expecting super warm quality leather... No. Under Armour are more or less man made, and not insulated. You'll need socks too keep you warm. Size seems to run .5 small. You decide from this.... Me? I'm still partial to ACG.
