These have been the most comfortable boot I have ever worn, the EW fit is the best. I got a pair back in 2012 and a second pair in 2015 both pairs served me well in the Navy and well into Law enforcement. They are very hard get in Australia, but they are well worth the effort. Please never discontinue this boot.

My life changed as far as footwear goes when I was issued these in 1998 in the Marine corps. Ive never had a better boot on my feet. Ever. And Ive tried. I still have my first pair and they are still in decent shape 24 years later. Need resoled but still the most comfortable durable boot out there. I swam across a small river in Okinawa and took all my gear off and my socks were the only thing dry. Amazing footwear.

My current pair has been serving me well for over a decade working in the Australian bush. These boots are waterproof yet don't overheat my feet like previous boots have. That is an awesome combo.
If I had taken better care of them they wouldn't have cracked at the base of the big toe. Now sand has got in between the liner and the outer and added more weight. These boots lasted longer than my Scarpa hiking boots despite being worn far more often.
It's a decade later and they are the same price! I'll be ordering a pair for myself as well as a pair for my friend's eldest.
