When I find a pair of shoes or boots I like, I tend to stick with them. I've owned several pairs of these over the last few years and absolutely love them. I tend to be very picky on my boots and purchase different ones for different purposes. These are great for all around use and I tend to wear them even over sneakers on a daily basis. The lugs in the soles tend to pick up brass at the range but they're very grippy when hiking.

My husband have a this style boot with out the zipper. He works as a mechanic in construction. Walk millions miles a day. The last 2 style have lasted a very long time "for him" 8-12 months. So he was in the hunt for new boots since he busted through the sides of his last pair. He use to wear slip on but likes the feel off tie ups. They keep his foot more Secure in the boot. So he decided to trys these. He still get his tie up and the zipper for easy on and off. After wearing them for a week or so he said they are his favorite boots so far. So we will take it as a win. We will see how long these last. He's very very hard on his boots.

Atfer a near fatal incident I was left with numerous broken and shatter bones and joints on all limbs and r hip, had a couple holes in my rt flank and rt shoulder, it was not pleasant to say the least. However, when re learning to walk after many surgiers I realized how lucky I was that I had on good boots. I had a couple from the series but the desserts allowed me to walk again by using the pocket as a spint hold those boots learned with me how to walk again. They also offer the support an ankle needs but are flexible enough to allow for some swelling. That was 10 years ago. I'm not saying they are magical healing boots and I think they used to hold up a little better, however I personally use them as a tool everyday and have for years. Plus they never had to be ... MoreAtfer a near fatal incident I was left with numerous broken and shatter bones and joints on all limbs and r hip, had a couple holes in my rt flank and rt shoulder, it was not pleasant to say the least.

Hopefully this new pair I'm about to receive will be as reliable as my former.

I wear these boots 95% of the time. Office, outside work, working out, shooting, hunting, etc... The only time I don't wear the boots is if I am doing an extended run or it is extremely wet following a big rain and I go hunting. Absolutely phenomenal for doing rope climbs if you are a Crossfit'r, great grip on the rope and no rope burns on the shins.There was a recent change in these boots that made them even better for me personally. Previous boots would dig into my ankle bones and had an extended break in period in this area. I would have to take a rubber mallet to ankle area of the boot to help speed up the break in process. Changes to the boots now seem to have eliminated that. With that change came how they fit me size wise too, I now have to get a 1/2 size ... MoreI wear these boots 95% of the time.

Changes to the boots now seem to have eliminated that. With that change came how they fit me size wise too, I now have to get a 1/2 size bigger, but no big deal at all. The ball of the foot area seems to be a hair wider too, this also is to my advantage. I don't have to get the wide sizes any longer. Previous D sizes were just a hair to narrow and I would get hot foot from time to time, the wide ones were just a hair to wide causing me to double up on socks, but current models seem to be just right.IMHO, they wear like boots but feel like workout shoes, very comfortable. Soles do wear out quicker than I'd like, but any change in that might result in a loss of comfort I'm seeking, so I'll role with it.Now any of the boots/shoes with the A/T soles in them, they are a strong no for me. Personally, I can't stand them, but again, that's just me personally. I'm sure there are those that like the A/T soles as much as I like the A.T.A.C. soles.If I was still ride'n horses, I would throw my spurs on them and wear them in the saddle too.Now, if 5.11 would just put a breathable back on the RUSH backpacks. Anyone who has actually used this pack outside knows it's like putting a heating blanket on your back, no matter what the outside temperature is.$.02
These are great boots if you're willing to replace them every year. I love the comfort of them, the thick soles, the ankle support, the zippered sides, etc. They're great looking, too.The big problem, however, is that mine started falling apart within one year. I wear them every day. I work in an office and am not hard on my boots. No long hikes, no outdoor adventures, etc. Just the occasional motorcycle ride. One of the boots has almost completely separated from the sole and the other boot is starting to show signs of the same thing. They are basically at the point on not being wearable after one year of what I would call light use.
I love these boots. I wear them every day. They're comfortable, supportive, and I like their look.The problem is that they never seem to last me more than a year. And the thing is, I work in an office all day and I'm not an "outdoor type" so I'm not hard on my boots. I'm on my second pair now. My first pair lasted 12 months before one of the soles started separating from the upper part of the boot. 5.11 was gracious enough to send me a free replacement pair 8 months ago when the first pair failed and now the toe area is starting to fall apart on the second pair, with three visible holes that you can now see my socks through. I don't remember doing anything that would have put holes in the boots.I'm honestly not sure what I could do to keep these boots from ... MoreI love these boots. I wear them every day.

I’ve been using this type of boot for the last 5 years & have had pretty good luck with them. They are very comfortable, but the last 2 pairs have been complete trash. You might get 6 months out of them. The seams come unglued & the soles have chunks & pieces missing from the sides like somebody took a knife to them. That’s just from normal everyday wear. The earlier boots a few years back never did this & it’s a shame cause they were great. Poor quality at higher prices now. If I could post pics on here I would.
This is the most comfortable boot that I have ever owned, and it offer great traction!To start, I usually wear a standard width men's size 8 footwear or leather workbook.In this style, I do wear a 8.5 wide. Use the size chart with proper foot measurements to determine if your foot remains your usual size!As stated, this is the most comfortable & lightest boot I have worn! The side zipper is quality! It took a few lace adjustments to get the right fit and get the zipper to easily slide up & down and to offer the proper ankle and foot-arch support.This review is after 9 months of use.That said, I have found that the sole does get chewed up using these boots on more rugged terrain such rock surfaces from hiking.Also, I have found these boots to feel "hot" ... MoreThis is the most comfortable boot that I have ever owned, and it offer great traction!To start, I usually wear a standard width men's size 8 footwear or leather workbook.In this style, I do wear a 8.5 wide.

When I say hot, I am wearing these is Texas summer heat.A coworker has this same style boot, and he experienced the same heat. We both admit, though, our footwear never developed boot stink after long hours and daily wear!Because of the the boots wearing hot, we bought style 12438 based on their description. We agree that this style wears much cooler. However, we found this boot to feel less comfortable around the top of the ankle because it has no/little padding compared to ATAC 12393. We also feel the foot bed is mildly less comfortable on the 12438.As a result, we both repurchased this ATAC style12393 again during the black Friday sale.
These are very comfortable boots. This is my 3rd pair, in fact. They are lightweight, sturdy footwear. I have my original pair that I bought in 2009 or 2010 and I'm still wearing them even though they are pretty much torn up. THEY ARE STILL COMFORTABLE. I wear them for yard work or when I'm really going to get dirty. My second pair is the light tan color and they will darken but can be cleaned with sneaker cleaner. This 3rd pair is the dark coyote color, which I really like. It looks like it would be a bit more forgiving of dirt than the light tan ones. As I said, I've pretty much worn the first pair out, and truthfully, the second pair and now the third pair are just as comfortable. These boots won't need much "breaking in", because they already ARE.
I recently wrote a review about how I love these boots and have owned two pairs now but that neither have lasted more than a year. In my most recent review, I mentioned one of the boots in my current pair failing. Now the second boot is failing in the same manner. Should I purchase another pair or wait to hear back from 5.11? Please advise because either way I need a new pair of boots. This pair is no longer wearable.
