Smith & Wesson Men's Breach 2.0 Tactical Size Zip Boots

Comment

But they are. We will see how they hold up. I will say they are comfortable. added new years : I guess it depends on who is wearing these boots. when I say comfortable it isnt coming from some delicate flower. I have an older pair that are not exact as these and I adapted to them when the ortho shoes failed my quality test wearing out in record time. I live on a hill which can be dangerous terrain. it is slip factor on a hill that determines its danger. Anyway while these boots looked bound up with the slope in the front to the toe , they have not caused notable rubbing and I am on my feet alot. My originals were old factory seconds I think and bought for like 25 $ and so I thought these would be better quality being front door. Engineering wise they are minus webbing liner inside the zipper on the sides which was a minus at first in my view but now I think maybe it wasnt needed. The zipper teeth are smaller than my old pair which is the part that was damaged and stripped the zipper so maybe the newer smaller teeth will hold up better. I am tough on anything but in this case that was probably the factory second flaw from the beginning on the old pair and they are still functional five+ years in wear. this is an honest total comparison and assessment . I do like the boots . they fit like a glove in a 13R . I might even be ok in a wider pair . good support and nice tread to dig in on a slope.

These are the best boots Ive ever owned for $70. Fit was perfect - I measured my foot with a ruler and used a size chart that said I was almost exactly a size 10½. At any shoe store, including Sears where I bought the Timberland work boots these replaced, I usually have to try 9½, 10, and 10½ to get the fit right. These are 10½ and have just enough room in the toe and are snug and comfy on my ankle. They also weigh half as much as my Timberlands. Ive read some of the negative comments - this was my first ever online purchase of boots Ive never tried on - and they all seem to be from people who really should have tried them on before buying them. My feet are perfectly average according to measurements, and these boots fit exactly as described for the foot size used for making shoes. I also havent seen the peeling of the shiny cover on the toes that has been reported in some reviews. I have a desk job and just really love wearing boots, so I cant speak to their durability under heavier use, but I do wear them every day and regularly ride my bike to work with them on. Its been almost 2 months since I received them and there are scuffs on the toe, but no indication that the materials are faulty. Very comfortable, very light, fit perfectly, and look nice. The side zip is a feature I never again want to live without and the tiny velcro strap that goes over the zipper pull is super functional without being a fashion feature like with some other styles of boots with a side zipper. You can barely see it, but it does exactly what its supposed to. I reserve 5 star ratings for only the products that far exceed my expectations. 3 stars, for me, is "right price, what I expected". I am so happy with this purchase and did not expect them to be better than my Timberlands, but at $70 I was ok with them being something I keep in my closet but dont wear every day. 5 stars because I wear them non-stop for all the reasons above and they look great, even in business attire.

Junk boots. The finish wore away really quick, like less than 4 months. Started falling apart also. Do not recommend. On the plus side, if you want to risk it, Amazon is great with returns. Dont buy these if you need them to look professional as you use them. They must pay Amazon to promote these or something, im surprised theyre rated so high.

Exactly what I had ordered, came on time. The laces were already done up as if they were used, and the left boot creased as if someone had them on for a while. I HIGHLY recommend buying gel inserts. I’ve never gotten shin splits from wearing boots, but holy eff! I was dying and I barely have to walk around at work in these things. Im not on my feet all shift everyday. Only walking around every hour. My military boots either. Great boots, just need to fix the insoles. I bought some gel inserts, and they made the boots a bit more snug, so I suggest going a half size up if you do. For the price, they’re good quality boots. Three stars for the appearance of the boots when i got them, and for them not being comfortable at all.

Current review is that the boots arrived in great condition. They function very well at present. As months go on, I intend to update this review to note any problems. At only a couple weeks, the boots seem to be very comfortable and durable. I strongly recommend purchasing boot socks with them, since theyre very chafing in anything thinner/rougher. (Only rating 4 stars for now since boots feel and work great, but over time if they last, I will upgrade to 5 stars or lower them, depending on whether or not they last.) UPDATE - 1 month later: Boots are very durable, comfortable and tough. They have proven water resistant, but I dont think Id recommend straight up submerging the boots in water. The side zipper makes for ease of taking boots on and off after theyve been laced. Ive only had to tighten laces a few times since purchase and Ive worn them almost daily. One extreme quality of the boots is that Ive been able to run in them almost daily with no issues. Usually boots are difficult to run or sprint in, but once these are broken in, they work really well. In my work, I occasionally have to break into full sprinting, and as a test I jogged laps around a building to see how well they hold up. The only thing that would be better is a pair of strict running shoes. The only flaw Ive encountered. (And not really a flaw) Make sure you use a decent set of boot socks. Something both thick yet soft. These boots definitely were not made to be comfortable in any old sock. This goes especially for if you intend to run in them.
