I am a big fan of 5.11. I buy the clothing very often. I was super excited to get the shoes as I had been looking at them online for quite some time. After receiving them, I did like them and felt that the style was very appealing, but I did not like the supportiveness of the shoe. I can wear this shoe casually walking round but I would never use this shoe as my training shoe. The shoe simply does not have enough support around my ankles and the rest of the foot.

I workout daily so I needed a pair of gym shoes that would support my feet as I do weights and cardio endurance workouts. When I got the shoes the problems began to show themselves while I was walking in them to break them and get used to them. The heel support felt flimsy and loose with each step I take with at times the shoe would slip out while I was walking. The way I managed to rectify the problem was to tightly tie the shoe laces to the point I constricting my feet. The ATLAS system was a hit and a miss af times with the miss making it difficult to move my toes while running and a hit when I am stationary doing weights. I also tried it outside and I would not recommend it as a hiking or trail shoe as it not water resistant and difficult to clean when pebbles ... MoreI workout daily so I needed a pair of gym shoes that would support my feet as I do weights and cardio endurance workouts.

Short review is that these shoes, for the price, were a disappointment with the durability, fit, and the value. I purchased my shoes full price from a brick and mortar store.When I first saw these shoes I really wanted to like them because they look good.The first issue that I encountered was his narrow the footbed made the shoe feel. I couldn't wear the shoe with the stick footbed so I swapped it out for another (flatter more neutral) orthotic. The second issue (the biggest deal breaker) was the overall durability of the rubber sole. I used these shoes as my regular daily shoes so nothing high speed nor high use (no outdoor use, range, or tactical). Due to the first two issues, I feel that the last issue is a result of the poor insole and the overly soft/low ... MoreShort review is that these shoes, for the price, were a disappointment with the durability, fit, and the value.

I really do like 5.11 products and this is only the first disappointment that I have had with any of their products.
