5.11 Tactical Men's A.T.A.C. 2.0 8-Inch Storm Boots, Ortholite Footbed, Slip-Resistant Outsole, Style 12392

4/28/23 Great first impression with these boots, very comfortable! grips the Achilles perfectly. True to size as well, I wear a 10 and the 10's fit perfectly snug with just enough room in the toe and a set of insoles for extra comfort. I added some extra protection on the outside of the toe with some brown Flex Seal spray so thats why they look a little different than the stock boots. Ive also done a couple coats of some Camp Dry spray to hopefully help repell any water since I work in an animal shelter and frequently use a hose to clean kennels. I will update this review as time goes on since I know you cannot judge a pair of boots off a day or two of use. 5/23/23 Still love these boots! BUT they are just a fraction too small I think. The left boot is making my big toe numb from just barely pushing against it. So I have ordered another pair half a size up. Other than that they are still holding up very well and comfortable in every other aspect. 4/3/24 See picture. I put these boots through the ringer for 11 months. Near daily use. getting wet almost everyday. dirt, mud, gravel, poop (I work at an animal shelter) you name it. They did start to come apart in a few places about 8 months in, and a hole developed at the toe crease on the right boot around that same time. But they never fully came apart or became uncomfortable. I probably could have push them to a year but I decided it was time for another pair. Great boots for the money, im fine with getting a year out of them.

I love these boots so much that this is my 3rd pair of these excat boots. I bought 2 in black and these khaki ones. They last forever! The zipper makes these boots. High quality thick zipper. The zipper will not break or snap or malfunction. I will not work without high boots like these, especially without a zipper. I am on my feet 10-16hrs and high boots that are tight and sturdy but comfortable are extremely important. I need boots that are long lived, easy to put on and off, high qulaity and comfortable. These boots check all those off the list. They have super traction on the bottom when they are brand new its awesome. I have worn dozens of boots of the last 15yrs and these are the best. They will not disappoint. For high boots I don't feel like they are very heavy, compared to the under Armour line of course they weigh more but ask anyone that wears the under Armour boots they pay more money for boots that don't last as long. I am going on 4yrs for one pair. Your lucky to get 6 months out of most other brands. Is the inside sole soft, not really but you should be wearing inserts in all shoes especially boots. Shoe companies don't waste their money on the inner soles because they know people are going to use inserts. They are water resistant not water proof. I would not stand in a deep puddles for long time. If they do get wet, you just unzipp them and let them dry out. The boots inside have paddling around ankles which keeps them comfortable. Do they get hot, yea depending on the weather but they are 8inch boots. After breaking them in which is not long they will conform to your legs and feet. I really have nothing negative to say about these boots. If you have been a shoes wearer all your life then these might take time to adjust to walking in them and 2 seconds longer it takes to lace them up. If your a boot wearer then you'll love these right away.

These boots rock! Been using them for about 2-3 weeks now and I have to say, they are leaps and bounds better than what I was issued out of the academy. Very comfortable. I have a wide toe/ball of my foot and all I needed to do to adjust was loosen the laces a bit and they fit great. They are extremely lightweight considering they are so water resistant which is great for me being a CO who has to both walk a lot and do a lot of my walking through wet corridors in a seg unit. Only gave 4 stars because I haven’t been able to fully test the durability of them as I have not had them long enough to consider that yet. That being said, they have held up well already and I notice no separation or wear as of yet. Side note, for those of you that want to shine these: they will polish to a high shine with a bit of work. I had the best luck after scrubbing and sort of exfoliating the surface of the boot a bit and then applying my own boot polish. Would definitely recommend at this point. Will update when I have worn them more to comment on durability more accurately. Edit*** have worn these for a few months and they’re still as comfortable as the day I got them. They have seen all kinds of abuse at work and there is no damage to the boot and they are holding up beautifully. Water resistance has held up in corridors with flooded toilets and my feet remain dry as a bone. They breathe well at the same time which is not generally the case with a water resistant boot such as this. Awesome purchase and will buy again next time they’re needed.

From Son: Been wearing for two months: Pros: Solid milspec zipper Pull loop Ankle support Cushion Construction Cons: [minor] Opening of boot “blossoms” out do to unnecessary length/padding above top lacing eyelet No longer in a field job and wanted to ultimate in primarily office boot function (ie. Zipper). I used to wear Oakleys, Rockys, and Garmonts in size 9, read a review saying to order these a half size up and they fit great. I already had my OCP pants sewn with elastic for blousing, and a pair of zippered boots would be the last step in ease of office work dressing. I researched the available boots and quickly found that not all had the mil-spec zipper with the stronger/larger teeth with protective flap behind (to avoid zipping socks etc). So these with the correct color, the solid zipper and the reputation of 5.11 made them an easy choice (especially for under $100). Boy did I make the right call, these boots are awesome! Super comfy, great ankle support and solid construction. I feel confident they’d be fine actually used in the field as well where the zipper would just be a speed of donning bonus. I’ve never worn a zippered boot before and it’s nice to see that the tongue is sewn with enough length on sides to “channel” laces down. So far the only minor issue I have is that the opening of the boot has unnecessary length above the 1st eyelet and it is also padded so it can bow out slightly over the lacing. I think it was somehow seen as a comfort feature but I think it’s just unnecessary fabric/padding. In the end, it is exactly what I was looking for and an excellent deal. I hope these are available for the rest of my career.

It arrived on time. I've had these only for a day (but its hurricane season in Louisiana and I anticipated they may be handy for preparedness). The upper is taller than I expected but that may work out well in the long run. They feel comfortable although I really have to be deep sitting in order to don them. They're really snug so this tight-fitting contour may require some hard pulling before you can finally get them on. You definitely need to use the zipper too. It's not only convenient but very practical. I feel like they'll last a long time as its clear that they're well built and not cheaply made. I trully appreciate the rugged grooves on the tread as this is typically the first thing to wear and essentially renders the boot worthless when worn down. They look cool from a stylish standpoint and they're made to last. My first impression is that these boots are durable (I will update this review in the coming months if necessary). Update: I no longer wear these as of mid 2022 the to portion ripped open on one of the boots and the tread is worn. For a $100 that’s really substantial durability since I worked and hiked in these boots and used them as rain boots as well. I am very pleased with this purchase so I upgraded the four to five stars. 2 1/2 years with these guys. Hurricane seasons, storms, mud and rain.

I have an Excavation business and never had boots more than a year. I’m rough on boots climbing on and off heavy equipment and working on them, plus I’ll ride my dirt bike wearing them if I don’t plan on riding hard, I’ve got the right boots for that. I’m buying my 3rd pair of these now in Dec 2025 I couldn’t believe the last time I bought them was Oct 2021. They are pretty beat up but still wearable, I’m only getting new ones because one of the zippers just broke. The the first pair I bought was in 2018 for $59, in 2021 $110 now they’re $135. Still worth it.

I've worn boots for most of my life (76 yr old) and these are hands down the most comfortable boots out of the box I've ever worn. They fit my size 10-1/2 wide feet perfectly with heavy socks. The insoles were more comfortable than my Brooks Beasts shoes. They are light in weight. The laces were long enough as they came. Good support and comfortable to walk in right away. I'm 5'6", 190 lb and they fit my ankles and legs perfectly. I can't wait to see how they break in and hold up. They should only get better as they break in. Time will tell. Edit: I've been wearing these boots pretty much daily for 2 months now and if anything they are more comfortable now. The added support that these boots give my feet and ankles has really improved my stability. I have a damaged left Achilles tendon and the way these boot are are constructed has protected that area very well and relieved the tenderness and occasional numbing in that area. The slip-resistant soles are truly a big improvement over all the athletic shoes I've worn over the past years. I'll be ordering a second pair to keep in reserve.

I've been wearing these boots for about a month now and they fit well and wear well so far. I previously had a different brand of similar boots that lasted for roughly a year and a half, but were getting dirty and the tread was a little worn. These 5.11 Tactical 8" boots are exactly what I want in a boot. For starters, the side zipper makes them easy to get on and off, especially with my big feet. Since my last pair of boots were only 6", I was a little concerned, but no issue. I can get the boots off my feet as well, so that's also a bonus. Second, the laces seem to be high quality. I tend to be a bit hard on laces for some reason. Maybe my feet are strange or maybe I tie them too tight, but either way my shoelaces tend to break fairly easily. I won't need to buy a second pair of laces like I did for my other boots, I hope. Well, at least not for a while. Third, the little "pocket" on the side of each boot is fantastic! I like being able to add a small knife in one of the pockets in case I see a stick that needs whittling or a block of cheese that needs cutting. It would also be a good way to hide a small amount of cash for emergencies, I would wager, though I haven't tried it out. Overall, a good boot at a reasonable price.

The boots fit perfectly and they’re good quality I’ve been looking for something like this in stores for a while glad that I found these online!
