These boots are absolutely amazing. They look great as well, which is very important to me. They are light, and after 10 hours on duty, my feet don't feel like they've been hauling excessive weight around. For the first time in years of boot buying, I can't find one thing wrong to say. As long as these are made, they will be my forever boots. To First Tactical, this model isn't broke, so don't try to fix it next year with some new and improved malarkey!!!! Great job!!!! You guys knocked it completely of the park with these.
