These boots were terrible. I didn't wear them an entire day before both soles were seperating from the boot. The toe was marred and they don't breath very well. The heel and ankle support was good but from a brand new pair of boots I expected it to be great. I'm assigned in Afghanistan and the conditions here are hard on any pair of boots. I did expect them to last more than one day. The cost of return shipping was high, Thats my lesson to never give serious consideration to a pair of Rothco boots again.
