Pánské nepromokavé kalhoty Boulder Summit Waterproof

As a long time wide toe box running shoe wearer I had been searching for a similar combat boot as I have struggled with my toes after long periods in boots. These have been amazing. Easy break in, great shape, the color and minimal branding is perfect for military applications.

Alright folks, I am 18 1/2 years into my time in the Army. This is the first, and I very much mean, the FIRST pair of boots that fit my feet correctly. They have require no break in time, are wide enough in the toe box, but, (and this is a good but!) they actually fit my heels without turning them to hamburger. No sticky heel cup inserts needed! I have one criticism and one tip.

Criticism: why the tab at the top of the tongue? Is it to pull the tongue up if it gets mashed down when inserting one’s foot? It’s a bit unnecessary and looks slightly odd. However, once I blouse my pants over it, it isn’t that big of a deal.

Tip: size up! A decent amount. I read the reviews about the boots running small. Now, I wear a 7.5 if I want my primals to fit perfectly to my size foot meaning no extra room in the toe length. I wear an 8 if I want that wiggle room. So, based on reviews, I ordered an 8.5. They were very snug. Therefore, I exchanged for a 9 and all is well and good! I spent the past couple weeks walking over rough terrain, rucked some decent inclines and traversed large rocks (the chunky ones the like to put in the TAA training zones) and the boots have not rubbed. The materials have held up well and I am seriously considering buying another pair already to have a better backup pair. My current minimalist Belvilles require the sticky heel cup cups to fit properly.

Hope this helps!

Pros:

Wide mid foot, wide toe box, excellent ankle support

Cons:

heel has pressure points rubbing, I have to use padding to prevent injury.

Minor issue:

lacing has enclosed loops, it would be better with the lace loops open for easy lace up and boot removal
