I elected to get good boots again

Was nervous as I'm picky about my feet and how footwear fits, so I normally don't mail order it online order. Been working lots lately and no time to get to boot store. Been buying 3-4 pair a year from a big retail chain. I elected to get good boots again. They fit and my feet and legs are thanking me.

Finally took time to go over my reviews and I'm glad I did.  I almost forgot I had these. Bought them last winter and just got them out of my closet again.  I love these boots.  They are comfortable.  I remember the size is pretty accurate on these.

A great price for a boot that's holding up well... thank-you

I have worn out two pairs of GX-8's which is the model down from this one.  I think the upgrade was worth every cent.  With the GX-8 I found that I needed a good pair of insoles.  these 9-inch boots came with a good gell insole and great arch supports, so I that made up the price difference right there.  One seemingly little thing with these boots is the slot in the tongue.  On the GX-8 the slot was low, and I had trouble with the tongue sliding down inside the boot.  In fact, on the GX-8 I ended up cutting my own slots to keep the tongue in place.  It is much better positioned on these boots.

I have now had experience with snow, mud, and on wet tile floors.  I had good traction in all situations.  These boots have somewhat more rounded lugs on the Vibran soles.  I found that they give good traction but don't pick up nearly as much mud and snow in the treads.  I had read another review about lack of traction on a wet tile floor, but I found I had good traction on wet floors that were well waxed under the water.

I have one bad ankle because of a semi-botched surgery that I had decades ago.  I found the adjustable heel widget was useful.  Turing it around from the "F" to the "C" position.  If it weren't for my bad ankle I think I would have preferred the aggressive stance of the F position for walking.  But the C position seems to be more neutral and gives me a very stable footing.

I normally word a 12 D in the GX-8. In most shoes and boots I wear a 12 D or E.  I had to try a few different sizes, but I ended up with an 11.5 EE in these boots.  I probably would have gone with 11.5 EEE, but over the last few weeks these have stretched just a bit on the width.

Good looking boots, good fit (and I have hard to fit feet), many compliments and I've only worn them twice!

I bought these boots to replace some Timberlands I bought that hurt my feet to no end. I was a little hesitant paying that much for the boots, but it was well worth it. These are some good quality boots that fit my feet perfect. I was very happy with this purchase.

My daughter picked out another pair of combat boots which were out of stock, I replaced with these and she was thrilled.

My husband is a bricklayer and has been for 20 years, I finally broke down and splurged on these boots and glad I did, he says they feel amazing and he is sad he waited so long to buy them

I enjoyed my boots and wore them recently when it was down pouring rain here in New Jersey while I was on an errand.  My feet were dry and there was nothing but dry feet when I took them off.  I can wear them for a couple of hours and I am not tired on my fee.  The material is well made and sturdy.

I used this for the first time on 2 pairs of shoes last night and am pretty happy about the way they turned out.  The shoes look somehow more substantive, more durable, somehow, than they did before.  Yay!

I owned a similar pair of these boots from Magnum years ago and they lasted through daily wear and use for about four years before I finally wore them out by way of the sole separating from the rest of the boot. My last few pairs were the kind of 40 dollar boots you can get at walmart and would last me about 6 months at best before I had to replace them. I'm glad to have these on my feet again and look forward to seeing how long they last. Being flat footed I do have to purchase insoles for them so I can't say anything about the arch support, but as far as the fit and comfort are concerned, I absolutely love them. It's the kind of fit that makes the boot feel like an extension of myself.

These boots feel great, much better than the standard issue. Though due to the new uniform rollout next year I would recommend waiting unless you need new boots.

I was able to do a 5 mile hike without any break in time. They rubbed my calves the first time, but nothing too bad. Luckily I was wearing a good pair of socks!

They've been a great boot since, and I've had lots of compliments on them. The product pictures were accurate.
