I will say emphasis on "COMBAT" when I make this remark because these boots definitely get the job done. I've owned boots before and never really got into the "cool boot phase" so I stuck with the ones that I had to buy for my uniform (like the cheapest model lol) and then I bought some of the Marauders which SUCKED as an upgrade per the recommendation of my significant other and another guy who owned them. I won't go into detail but, in case I didn't mention it, the Marauders SUCKED and tore up my feet from walking in them and I was in desperate need of a new pair of boots. I initially went back to my old ones but, honestly, they looked a hot mess after three years and a chic I worked with made a great argument on how important it is to at least treat ourselves to nice boots.

I did some research and found that these were highly regarded beyond looking nice so I decided to buy them. I found myself having to or wanting to run in my boots a lot and while my old ones were broke in well enough for sprinting it was time for a well-deserved upgrade. I bought these and the weightlessness was VERY surprising compared to my heavy older ones (of a different brand that I can't quite recall, but very standard). When I put my foot in them it felt like there was SO much space that I initially thought they didn't fit. Good thing I didn't give up on them because once I started walking and running in these boots...my God! I fell in love Lol.

I would definitely recommend these from their little cushions in place to the soft and lightweight yet sturdy build of these boots, they're pretty AWE-some!
