Sup /k/ what's your opinion on 5.11 tactical? I plan on

Dunno about their boots. A friend has a pair of their shoes and loves them. I'm a fan of the taclite pros and Apex pants

how waterproof are these kinds of boots? Be they 5.11 or Nike SFBs?

This is the kind of mud i have where i hike

>>34644822
all of their stuff is top tier, I think you cant go wrong with them

>>34644822
They make lower end stuff so might be okay for some accessories but you don't want to cheap out on boots.

The 6" side zips are pretty great. I walk 3-5 miles a day on concrete floors. The soles wear faster than work boots.

I"ve had a pair of 5.11 ATACs for about 5 years. They were factory seconds I got from Sportsman's Guide for $50. They've held up pretty well.

I just ordered these from a popular, south-American-jungle themed online conglomerate. Bready good reviews there and elsewhere. I'll guess I'll let you know how they perform after breaking in.

The boots are shit and have more than a few design flaws.

Enjoy the stitches holding the zipper to the boot popping.

Side zips for active wear is a horrendously stupid decision; the flexion your ankle puts on it when walking destroys its integrity.

Also there's no pull tab and the foot opening is horrendously designed; even at open zip you'll have a hard time getting your foot inside.

I don't care for their boots. Uncomfortable and the leather tore at the creases in about a year.
Everything else they make is pretty good.

Lol side zip.

5.11 boots got tore up in a fire academy from just being taken off hastily and thrown to the side when jumping into bunker gear. They were some low composite shits.

those tac-lite 6" boots are easily the best boots I've ever worn
