If your boots weigh more than my boots, I can run faster and walk further. Get these light weight boots. You will love them. Wide width means comfort and light weight makes you feel light yourself! Not meant to be waterproof, meant to stay cool. No side zipper, highest quality laces, no slip. Well made. Best boots I ever had. Would die with them on. |

I ordered these after reading alot of good reveiws, and they were right. These boots feel good out of the box and only get better with break in, they are the lightest boot I have ever put on my feet. I had read some reveiws that said they lacked ankle support and having a very bad ankle I have to diagree, I find them very supportive for my ankles if I lace them up tight. It feels like it will be hard to roll an ankle in these boots so I realy like them. The only thing I have to find out know is how they will hold up with hard use, if they hold up like all my NB shoes have for me I'll definitely be ordering more OTB boots. |

I paid only 20 dollars or so over the standard issue belleville boots. There are so much more lighter then what I am used to. The boot feels great. All I can say is if you are OK with standard issue boots... this will be a nice upgrade.
I did buy a pair of Rocky S2G's (I believe that was the model) and I did not like them... so I returned them and purchased these and I must say it was a great decision.
Light weight, cool almost shoe like boot. |

Bought these boots for rucking. Had small hot spot on first 4 mile ruck. Very light and comfortable. Much better than the two pairs issued: Rocky and Belleville, both high quality boots. Only other boots comparable were Timberland tactical boots. NB's are much lighter. Timberlands never gave hot spot. |

I have had positive experiences with OTB boots in the past before the New Balance era. Needed some light weight, durable, quick drying boots for work. Took these to two weeks of training right out of the box, for running, crawling and light hiking in the woods. Very breathable, dry quickly and held up very well so far. |

I love the boots. The boots feel good and I've run a couple of miles in the new pair straight from the box. |
