First 511 product. Right out of the box feel nice. Probably the best boots I've ever owned. Did order 1/2 size down as others suggested and fit is perrrfect! Impressed with the initial quality. Seeems to shine up real well with kiwi black polish. Will next try usmc lincoln shoe polish as well. Strong velcro and think laces makes these secure. Ok on and off but not perfect. Still a little tight getting off and please note open laces at top of boot do not stay tied after removing from feet. but police and fire rely on these for a reason. They are that good. Would I pay this much for quality boots again? So far I will say FOR SURE.
