Really good boot. These do require some conditioning to wear, as in if you don't already wear barefoot shoes. These will be very uncomfortable to wear. But for me, they do the job without binding my toes.
I just wish they came with a more comfortable and durable tongue and the heel cup goes too high; it interferes with my ankles.

Customer Boot Reviews
These are awesome. Love the wide toe box for healthy feet. Love the zero drop. I can add my custom orthotics in. Great width for calves. Only thing that would make these a 10 out of 10, would be to have a zipper option for quicker get up and go!!!
Love these boots, have been wearing them for a couple years and they still have alot Of life left, I will likely opt to repair them when the time comes. I have used these for everything from garrison work, running, rucking, field time(infantry) you name it. Pros are fast drying, light weight, barefoot benefits, easy to clean (mine still look nearly brand new). Cons heel cup fell apart, no problem fixed in 45 minutes with a knife and some shoe goo, the sole is not stitched to the boot so I definitely think it could come unglued while out on patrol (keep that shoe goo and duck tape in your ruck).
I treated them with scotch guard when I got them, helps them stay clean.
Only other issue I had was with rucking on coarse gravel I got sore feeties, no issues at all rucking in the bush and rocky Canadian Shield up to 100 lbs.
Got rock guard plastic insoles plus thin little foam booster insoles for if it looks really gravelly out
10/10 would buy again and recommend
Please stitch the soles and ditch the heel cups for the next version!!!!
