Wanted to wear these a bit before review. Work 8 hours on my feet on hard surfaces. Previously wore upper end hiking shoes, but feet began to hurt after a few months. Ordered the 5.11 Tacticals and have to say they exceed my expectations. Comfortable from day one and still are after a month. Easy to slip on with tongue design and twisted laces keep them tied all day. Breathable uppers and durable soles. Very pleased!
