For those with broad feet and fussy in style, shape, color, comfort, hi tek are floppy slippery, awful, to me. Finally found the right boot for me, after literally trying about 20 at a huge cost, Danner, desert eagle, fantastic, not crunching toes side splits, great grip on a tin roof, even wet, off ladders, hiking, hot or cold wet or dry, desert or mud and everything else, the best.
These are my favorite military boots and I honestly hope Belleville keeps making them forever. I honestly have four pairs of these boots left over from my time in the Marine Corps. Every pair was comfortable right out of the box. I’ve worn all of them until the Vibram treads wore through, which usually took a year or more of constant wear. I haven’t had any resoled yet, but I’ve heard NuShoe will recondition the whole boot for $50 so long as the leather isn’t jacked up. The only time I’ve seen these boots have a problem was when people warmed their feet without taking them off. That dried out the leather and they would crack. Worst case, sometimes the glue holding on the Vibram out sole would melt and some guy would walk away from the fire and the treads would still be where he was standing. So, be warned: take your boots off before warming your feet. Your feet will get warmer faster, and with the speedlaces on these, you really don’t have an excuse. Taking them off and putting them back on takes seconds.
We should be back on track selling Danners in 6 months.
