A very quality comfortable boot. I found it comfortable right out of the box. Almost perfect boots. I do question one thing about the boot. Its the 4th lace eyelet up the zip side of the boot. All that holds that on is just a little stitching. That could be ripped off pretty easily, I think it should be attatched directly to the boot. But I've not had a problem with the boot it is just a concern. Other than that Perfect boots easy off boots.

Update:: After owning these boots for a few months I can say these are a pair of the best boots out there. The treads are phenomenal usually I wear boots flat fast and these barely show any wear and I walk quite a few miles per day everyday. The uppers hold a great shine and my feet feel comfy even after a long workday. The zipper is total quality. 5.11 should change a thing these boots are perfection. Also since these boots keep a good shine they work as dress shoes too. I change my 4 star rating now to a perfect 5 star rating after wearing these boots near constantly for a few months.
