5.11 Men's HRT Urban 8" Boot

I bought this boots 3 months ago. They are light weighted and easy to wear them for many hours, but few days ago i wore them in an exercise with the unit where i had to cover a distance of 40 miles of rocky trail carrying full combat equipment, the threads at the middle at the left side of the right side opened wide at the end of the exercise... The good thing is the inner membrane is intact.

I have had and wore these boots for about 9 months. I thought the 5.11 would hold up a bit better. The sole on the right boot is starting to peel apart and some of the stitching is coming lose. The rubber toe cover is extremely hard to keep clean and professional. I do admit they do hold up the tests of torrential rain and snow. I haven't had the chance to test them out in the rain sense the soul is separating. I don't expect them to keep my feet dry now.

I loved these boots but there was one thing that disapointed me. there are no eyelets for the laces. I have had my boots for about 8 months and although i do still wear them, a few months ago the lace holes wore out and the leather came apart so now there are a few places where the lace has nowhere to go through. other than that I love the boots, they are light and comfortable.

These are not daily work boots but with extra kick when you need them the most. Whether you are in rain, snow or on desert these are the ones you really need. It can take the beating so its called Tactical!! There are many others that does the same thing but might be too pricy or cheaper but I like these and haven't had any problem lately. Chek it out you will not be disapointed

The only problem 5.11 has with these boots is that they are incredibly durable and have prevented me from buying another pair for two years. I work in law enforcement and I am very tough on boots. I have worn these boots every day for two years and there is not a single place on the boot where any defects can be seen or felt. The bottom still has plenty of tread whereas other boots I have worn for 6 months have lost all tread on the outside. They are quiet, comfortable, easy to run in, light, have kept my feet dry in downpours, and most of all--durable. I will continue to wear nothing but HRTs for as long as they are manufactured. Period.
