Bought last week - once you set the laces right these are very comfortable. I wear a size 12 nike, and bought the same, and feel like they are just right. Very good quality, mostly nice thick leather throughout shoe, zipper is large and sturdy, Have worn these for about 20 hours total now, with 10 hours straight the first day and putting on my sneakers after having these on felt no different, besides the height of the boot. Shoe has enough rigidity to keep ankle from twisting on uneven surfaces, but is very comfortable and flexible to feel normal when walking or running. I kept a S&W 3" pocket knife in ankle pocket all day and I couldn't feel it was there. I am very happy with my purchase and I look forward to wearing them everyday in the upcoming Wisconsin hunting season and winter :)

I have flat feet, these did wonders for me compared to those I was issued in Basic Training. The zip is a genuine idea and works as expected, the leather is so far great, the shank helps the support of my arch, the tread is slightly off in terms of grip but still handles well, and the sizing was perfect, the military sized me at a 10, and all their boots are wide, I went with a 10EE and they fit literally perfect, far better than the Vibrams issued.

The downsides are, the toe is slightly tight width wise, even worse than my cowboy boots, this aggravates a slight ingrown toenail on my small toe. Also there is a lack of lacing towards the top, the boots I have been used to for years laced to the top with very little to spare, these have a good inch or so to spare, and thus bulge out at the top especially when worn over or below garments, which looks unprofessional.

Final conclusion, best boots I have, highly recommend, but if your in an icy area, I suggest purchasing a good pair of cleats to go with them.

Update (2011/10/24): Still going strong.

By far worth the money, I will never buy any other boots other than 5.11 again.

Simply put, these are the best boots I've ever owned. I currently own 2 pair and rotate them and will soon be buying another. Out of the box they feel more like sneakers than boots. The zipper on the side has held up on my pair for 3 years now and they are still as waterproof as the day I bought them.

I've been a State Patrolman now for 3 years and had the same pair since I went through skills and the academy. I've ran and marched for miles and somehow I never got blisters with these. I've tried bates and Danners, but I personally like these best. The waterproofing is great, you can literally just stand in water up to about 8-10 inches and be high and dry. The soles on my boots are warn, but for 3 years use, I'll call it a victory. I know alot of LE people love the Danners. They brag about how they can be resoled etc.. and it is true, you cannot resole these boots. But they will last long enough, and since no one is handing out awards for longest worn pair of boots, I'll just by another pair of these when they die.

Most importantly I should mention the leather on the toe and sides takes polish extremely well. Get a large tin of Kiwi Parade Gloss and hit it with some cotton balls for a mirror shine. I can get a inspection worth spit shine in no time at all and look better then anyone in bates or rockies. I've only seen Danner's shine as well as these. I will be retiring my oldest pair with a high polish as my dress pair.

For a negative, the pocket is useless and stupid. A handcuff key... Really? You'll also be dead long before you could get the 1 inch knife you could fit in there out. Also, there is velcro at the top to hold the zipper down that is really good at ripping out my hems. Either a snap or if they switched the hook and loop would be better, but I also had my hems rather sloppily done and after a professional redid it it hasn't been an issue.

Best boots I've ever owned.

I thought I would put my two cents in. I've been wearing these boots for a couple of weeks now and I can say that these boots are the absolute best boots I have ever worn. From the first time I put these boots on until now they feel great. At the end of the day I'm still in no hurry to take these boots off. If you want a great comfortable boot these are the ones and they are worth every penny you'll paid for them. I hope they don't ever quite making these boots because when I wear this pair out my next pair of boots will be the same kind.

These are the best boots I've ever had. They are light, comfortable and easy to get on and off. I put them on in the morning and don't think about them again until I take them off at night. My feet do not get tired or sweaty. The side zipper works great. I love them.

I LOVE THIS BOOT!!! For anyone who is on their feet all day you cannot go wrong with this boot. I went from a pair of BATES which are an okay boot, but the moment I put these ATAC's on I knew they were a great boot. They are noticably lighter than my BATES. They feel like a running shoe. I haven't been this happy with a pair of boots in a long time. I wear these boots anywhere from 10 to 18 hours a day. I will never own anything but 5.11 again!

Todas as botas da 5.11 são muito boas. Esta em particular pode ser usada na chuva e seus pés continuaram secos
