These boots are extremely comfortable. I’m on my feet almost my entire 8 hour shift and my feet are always comfortable. They fit like a glove once they’re broken in. Upon first getting them and trying to put a shine on them, it was TOUGH. But after many layers and much. Elbow grease later, they noticeably shine. I wish these came in a water proof composite toe version, then I’d never look for another pair of boots. So I just wear these in my spring/ summer months and switch out to a water proof pair for winter. I’ve had them almost a year and they still are in fantastic shape. 5’11 is a brand I know i can always go to when I need quality gear. These boots are no exception to any other great gear I have from them.

The good -Absolutely feather light! My asics are heavier.Zipper is not gusseted, so should be plenty of egress.The less good -Zipper sticks, catches on the protective flap (possibly a one-off issue with my pair)Almost too roomy at a regular width; heel cup is really deep, and there's a lot of room for movement in the forefoot as well.Lacing is fast and smooth ... so it slips back a little too easily when cinching the arch.All in all, I worried that the fit was just asking for blisters in my case. If you have bigger (not longer) feet and ankles, or always wear thicker socks, these may be the way to go.

had to return the boots the left size was much narrower than the right. same thing happen when they got returned to Bass Pro in Bollingbrook Mall.Same issue returned to Cabela's in Hoffman Estates .The same model at your 511 store in Downers Grove store the new boots had the same issue on 3 models.Looks like they just replaced the left size boot label to Wide when they are D regular size.I always had 511 boots but after 4 orders returned and 1 visited store I ran out of options , maybe it will get looked at .

I just bought a second pair of these boots, mainly because 5.11 sent me a decent coupon. My first pair were nice--super comfy and sized just right. My only complaint is how short a lifespan the soles had. Actually, the heels were/are my concern in how quickly they wore through. I walk between 12,000 and 15,000 steps/day which isn't too crazy, but less than six months in, I had holes starting to show in the heels. My heels usually wear faster on the outside edge because of my gait, but now thanks to these holes I can see how little substance there actually is past the initial tread. That tells me they would still wear through just as fast at any angle. Again, these boots are extremely comfortable and very lightweight, but I wouldn't ever pay full price again for ... MoreI just bought a second pair of these boots, mainly because 5.11 sent me a decent coupon.

Again, these boots are extremely comfortable and very lightweight, but I wouldn't ever pay full price again for them, especially since they can't be resoled. I'm sure they're just fine for folks who don't walk quite as much as I do. I just expected a little more from a company like 5.11.
I have bought 3 pairs in the last few years working in LE. I wouldn’t say it’s the best boot ever by any means but very good quality for the price. I’ve never had any issues with the boot other than the tread and leather on the toe of the boot seems to wear out pretty quickly. They still hold up well. I’m wearing a pair that has almost zero tread left and everything is intact. It is lightweight and a little warm in the summer months but not uncomfortably warm if that makes sense. Right out of the box they are comfy and don’t necessarily need breaking in. If you’re looking for a good quality boot for cheap than this is it.
I bought these boots over a year ago, after I read a reddit post praising the build quality. I have worn them in all sorts of weather conditions, and as anyone who lives in the midwest can tell you, there are a lot of them. They are not waterproof, however, having worn them through heavy rain and snow, I can say they are pretty good at keeping your feet dry. They are well insulated, and also keep your feet warm. When summer comes, they are breathable enough that your feet won't feel like you stuck them in a furnace. Having worked in industrial freezers, the slip resistance is top-notch, and has kept me from injuring myself on the job multiple times, not to mention they look fantastic while doing so. They are incredibly lightweight, and the best boot I will ever own. ... MoreI bought these boots over a year ago, after I read a reddit post praising the build quality.

Just returned from hiking in the Smokies. Day 1 I wore Hoka GTX. Excellent cushion, comfort and traction up the mountain, through various terrain. Day 2 I wore 511 ATAC. Excellent cushion and comfort. The problems with traction began on the descent. It was rocky. Descent was bad. 3 stars due to substandard traction on rocky trails.

The boots were great and by far one of my favorite style and company to own. Unfortunately about 3 weeks ago I was wearing them for the very first week at work. I currently work in a jail assigned to the Emergency Response Team. We had to conduct a cell extraction on a combative and armed inmate, which fortunately for all staff, was completed without incident. What we weren't aware of was that he had smeared and obscene amount of feces amongst his cell during which my new boots got covered in. After our incident was completed and my team left to decontaminate I set my boots to the side in bags with the intent of them being hosed down and severely deep cleaned. Apparently my maintenance staff did not get the memo and threw them away. But I will say this throughout ... MoreThe boots were great and by far one of my favorite style and company to own.

A great fit out of the box. I’ve only had them just over a week but I wear them all day every day both at the gym and in the office. Very comfortable.One thing to keep in mind - sizing is a bit dodgy.I had bought another pair of boots online and they were way too narrow (9.5W). Brought them to the store in Tampa to exchange. Saw the pair I ultimately bought, also in a 9.5W, preferred them and they fit perfectly. So I think that sizing is not consistent.With that said, they seem well constructed but time will tell.
