I have worn military boots for over years. These boots by far have outperformed any others. The fit like a glove, are lightweight and do not make your feet sweat. Given the extreme Afghan desert conditions, they stay cooler than standard issue boots. The heels do not deform with abnormal walking. I have a slight list to my right side. This wears the heel of my right boot only on my standard issues making the list worst. I have owned these boots for 11 months now and have not seen any abnormal wear on the heel yet. I have gone thru 3 pairs of laces. Because my foot is wide, there is alot of friction at the front of my ankle and I saw my way thru the laces. The tab at the back of the boot is ideal for pulling them up in a hurry and for hanging to air out. Great boot...I wish they were standard issue so I could get them for free ;-)...wishfull thinking.
