FREE SOLDIER Men's Waterproof Tactical Work Boots Lightweight Comfortable Combat Hiking Boots

To start, this is not paid or anything. I'm just some dude that bought these for utility work 60 hours a week. I originally purchased these Oct 22, 2022 and have used them as my only boots day in and day out. They have been comfortable since day. I purasched my true to size and they fit well new, but broke in pretty quick allowing just enough wiggle room. I'm honestly extremely impressed with the quality and durability which is the only reason I'm writing this review. I walk an average of 5-8 miles a day in residential, rural, and all other kinds of terrain in all weather types. These photos are after 8 months. There is some slight wear on the inside, but nothing crazy. The soles actually have held up very well. There is some balding areas in the main strike areas and small tears on the heals from 1000s of miles of driving. No water has leaked through in those areas. The sides are definitely the weakest point, but definitely not weak. They have also held up very well. They do have some small tears and rips they eventually made their way over weeks, maybe a couple of months, all the way through. Which definitely does suck when it rains. But, the weatherproof really works. So after 8 months of legit raw everyday use, I was so impressed that I bought another pair in brown this time. I'm keep the old ones for back ups and to alternate some use with the new ones. For the price, I can't find anything to complain about. Hopefully this helps.

I really like these boots. I use them for work and also when I’m out doing chores, and they have been very comfortable. They feel good on my feet even when I’m wearing them for several hours, and they provide good support while walking around. I also really like the waterproof design, especially when I’m working outside or dealing with wet conditions. They feel sturdy and well made without being overly heavy or uncomfortable. Overall, these have been great boots for both work and everyday use. They’re comfortable, practical, and seem to be holding up well. I’m very happy with them and would definitely recommend them.

UPDATE: Got the 3rd pair of black boots in a 9.5 and they're still too big but I'm tired of sending them back so have added inserts and that makes them wearable. Again, I wear these in an office scenario...I wouldn't trust them to last in a construction application I'm modifying this review. Even though these are 2 entirely different boots, apparently the review will be combined. I purchased these in a tan and followed the size guide and ordered a 10 and it was too short so I returned them and got them in 10.5 and they fit okay so, being logical, I ordered a pair in black in a 10.5. Make sense? Not! They were too big so I returned them and ordered size 10 thinking they would work. Well they're still too big in both length and width...even with extra insoles which I took from my 10.5 boots and they were too small for these. Do I try for 9.5? Maybe, 3rd time's a charm, right? Now for the positive, they are comfortable and light-weight. I wouldn't say they're suited for hiking, unless you call strolling through a flat field hiking; compared to my actual hiking boots, there is really no ankle support and the laces tend to loosen up so that's kind of a pain. They're more like high-top sneakers with a tactical sole. If I wanted hiking or tactical boots, I'd get a pair of jungle boots but these are comfortable and light-weight and suit my intended needs. I wear them to work (not construction) and they'd probably be fine but with the plastic grommets, etc. I wouldn't trust them to a harsher environment but, again, that's not my intent. Now if I could only get a pair to fit.

UPDATE: MONTH AND A HALF LATER --Water proof yes, very warm for people with hot feet, people who say they are not probably mistaken their own sweat for outside moisture. So far durable. But I will need to stop wearing them since the weather is warmer So far 1st day on the job these are very comparable to the Dewalt Plasmas as far as how they feel on the feet right out of the box. I gave'em a good 4 hour break in just walking around the house doing chores. As far as sizing... I went with wides in my normal size and I cant say they fit "tight". Haven't tested the waterproof quality just yet but its gonna rain the next few days so here we go. And durability. If they last at least 6 months ill buy them again. But so far these are fantastic for the price!

I am changing my review here from one star to three stars and I'll tell you why... I got a pair of these and was extremely disappointed with them. First and foremost, they are NOT at all waterproof. Like not even a little bit. I mean to the point that you can't walk through damp grass from a morning dew and your socks not be completely soaked. You might as wear flip flops. However, in terms of durability, they are pretty decent. They have held up to a lot of wear as I use them for work. I generally wear my boots until they fall apart, which usually happens after about a year. I've been using these for a few months now and they're still intact. I will also say that my first review on this product was very negative. I was upset that they were listed as waterproof and they were nothing of the sort. The company reached out to me directly and sent me a brand new pair for the inconvenience and as a sort of apology. On top of that, Amazon refunded me. So I will say, while I was disappointed that the product was not exactly as advertised, the company made it right and I wasn't out anything. I will be using a waterproofing spray on the new pair they sent me before I wear them. They are still new in the box, and I want to see how long my first pair will hold up before I start the new pair. Just know, they are not waterproof at all. But I am pleased to see that the company has integrity, and maybe with a good quality waterproofing spray, these can be a good product.

Oh it fits (size 10" American), But far too tightly; very tight fit, which is great for the sides of your feet (stable secure, locked, hugging, amazing) but not the toe, not the heel not the arch suport. The issue isn't length (if I went up a half size it would not change the tight side toe squeezing much)... its a full super tight toe squeeze. I don't wear wide sizes and weigh about 200lbs at 5'10 The heel is hard... The heel sucks, like walking on a hard concrete floor barefoot for hours. Inside Ankle bone rubs hard on inside stitching just under the 2nd from bottom upper lace hooks ( common in many weakly considered shoes): Leaving lace loose and spaced did not help much. However Great looking shoe... If only looks were comfort these would be winning. As it is too late to return, I will invest in a boot stretcher and see how that works. I hate to waste them or turn them into a used clothing dumpster. Another brand: "S******r's", Worked (works) perfectly, I should have stuck with them. My biggest grievance is the toe box, I even switched out the insoles for a brand C**V that it turns out is surprisingly good.... but not helpful here. the toebox is painfully narrow here (no give) and arch support is middling. I shouldn't have to remove my shoe several times for relief. Terrible experience; I should have been more proactive on the return. MY advice to manufacturer: wider toe box ( about 1/2 inch) More cushion and pocket for ankle bone ( less ankle bruising/grazing) Softer more layered rubber pocket on heel bottom ( firm but soft layering on insole and heel out-sole material) keep the good looks as much as possible Keep the tight secure sides but only up to toe box (yikes) I shouldn't feel any hard stitching or reinforcement inside ( it should feel sneaker soft-like, smooth and soft) Other brands do this easily, but arguably not as attractive as this brand. I won't be investing in this brand again. This shoe would nearly be amazing if only for a few things. Hope they change. Good luck people. -------

Super comfortable. Feel pretty durable. Look real good.

Muy buen producto, solo que la fecha de envío no es muy precisa y eso puede dar algún problema

Bought these as combo motorcycling / hiking boots. Expected them to be just okay for both, but found they were great for both, as in protected my feet and kept them dry on the bike, as well as being very comfortable to hike. Would definitely recommend

Muito confortaveis
