Comfortable, good support and protection, and wear like iron.

Boots.

I have a question if you don't mind...the fabric at the top is frayed, yet the boots are almost perfectly clean.

I just slop around in crappy cheap work boots and they are a flaming mess, even in town. They get worse when out in the paddock.

The below boots have (both pair) three months of use on them (alternate days), so six weeks of constant use each.

The big question I have...how the hell do you keep your boots so clean?

Those are surplus new, Belleville, they came that way out of the box from MidwayUSA on Clearance.


Those now have several hundred miles of field use on them, and look considerably different.

But they hose off nice and dry pretty quick.


Anything else on your mind?

Like, maybe, how they work in the field?

Generally US manufactured boots have a narrow last...and when you purchase the wide boot the heel is also wide which allows your heel to move about.

So no...you have nothing I wish to hear.


These light weight field boots fit my feet very well, and hold up very well, too.

Got them a half size smaller than my regular shoes, and fit allows for both single boot socks when it's hot, and the addition of a Kirkland wool outer sock when it's cold.

The treads are great for hard surface, hard pack, rock, sand, and mud.

Not the best in steep, loose rock conditions.

Probably why they were surplus to the heavier Vibram waffle sole for Afghanistan.
