   Best boots ever, they fit great and they are super comfortable. I had other brand of boots during the police academy and they were uncomfortable and heavy and gave me blisters. At the academy we had to run in boots and ran a lot and ran everywhere, I discovered these boots almost at the end of the academy when I saw them in a classmate. He loved them and so do I.The boots I had before had a side zipper and I though that was helpful during quick changes but these boots are even better! The speed laces make them so easy to lace up and get going.Incredibly comfortable, is like running with sneakers.Pros:LightweightTrue fit.Almost no break in period (2 or 3 10 hour days did it)Speed laces make them easy to put on and take off.The soles are comfortableGood support everywhere.Great craftsmanship.CheapCons:To give them a shine took about 5 hours, the came in flat black, to shine them up to academy standars took about 16 coats and then some. A lot a lot of work.But after the shine was completed they hold shine very well.Not made in the US, Vietnam made.I have not run into any issues that other people has mentioned. They first pair I had went through a lot of abuse at the academy, a lot of running and push ups and tactics trainig including jumping over 6 foot walls and chainlink fences and the most important……. hours of marching! With all that abuse the sole help up very well and so did the boots. I was using them well after the academy. They would’ve lasted me longer but I made the rookie mistake of trying to put out a road flare by stomping on it and that did not work out well, it almost burn a hole through the sole but as I learned, a road flare will burn a hole through any sole.I highly recommend these boots and actually all danner products

   These boots are worth it for the lightweight and waterproof alone.These boots are comfortable to wear daily and I work up to 16 hour days. The quality feels good, boots are lightweight, and I haven’t had issues with the waterproof. The only issue I had was that my old boots (same Danners) bottom tread rubbed away in about 2 years. The bottom of my old boots look bald and smooth. I’ll probably keep buying these for work, they are currently my favorite work boots.

   I work for a large urban PD. I’ve been wearing these boots on patrol for the past three month. I’ll give you the good and bad of the time I’ve worn them.The bad:Break-in… A lot of reviewers say they have no breakin period but mine took about a week to really feel “right on my feet”. That said they’re awesome once they’re broken inPolish… first polish flaked right off. I stripped with alcohol and polished with parade gloss. Now they’re good to go. I’d recommend stripping whatever danner puts on with alcohol before you polishBreathablity… not an issue for me but if you’re prone to athletes foot you may want the non-gortex version. These do breath better than Danner Patrols or AcaciasThe good:Weight… these boots are light as feathersFit… I have a wide foot and got the regular width. After a week of wear they fit like gloves. No hot spots, no discomfort. I’ve stood for long periods and ran in these and they’re greatDurability… I was always skeptical of this type of boot based on their flimsy build. Not the case with these. While they’re flexible and light the soles are still sturdy enough to deal with the rigors of patrol work and the upper is made of tough material.Waterproof…. I’ve trudged through puddles and rain during the monsoons here and my feet stayed dryBottom line: I’d recommend these to anyone looking for a lightweight yet tough patrol boot that’ll fit and feel more like a sneaker
