FREE SOLDIER Men's Tactical Boots 8 Inches Lightweight Combat Boots Durable Suede Leather Military Work Boot Desert Boot

I wanted to give this a longer term review, instead of straight from the box. I purchased a pair of these boots back in June of 2023. They were my everyday, everywhere footwear for almost 2 years. To work or play, rain, shine or snow. I have finally ordered my second pair in July of 2025. They have held up remarkably well, with in insoles having to be replaced roughly 9 months after initial purchase, and those being replaced almost a year later. The tread has finally worn smooth, and the right boot developed a tear (probably from all the use), near the toe joint. They are not water proof, but they do offer great support, a good fit and have survived for a little over two years, in just about every element nature can provide. I recommend these boots for anyone looking for a durable, and affordable set of boots to wear.

This is a really decent pair of lightweight boots. Well made and true to size or maybe a tiny bit on the large size. All day comfort right out of the box. I put mine on and wore them around the house for a couple of hours and then took a five mile walk with the dog and no sore or hot spots . Pretty light on the foot for an eight inch boot and roomy enough to wear with some thicker socks. My first walk in these was in 40 degree temps and my feet stayed warm in light socks. Sole provided decent traction and the boots came with decent quality shoelaces which seem to be the exception these days. I would recommend and buy again.

So... while I may have been looking for a Steel Toe or Hardened Plastic Toe, this pair of boots does pretty well on keeping me comfortable during hard work days. They STAY on my feet.They've a decent durability, and the leather keeps things OUT. And I put these boots through HELL and back in my workplaces, excepting that I NEVER let anything heavy LAND on my toes. Again, these are SOFT TOED BOOTS, not Steel Toed or otherwise.Heel support is middling, as a person with bad knees, I've had to stand for hours at a time, and these don't have "superb" heel support, but they do give a fair amount... although they also don't give very much in the way of arch support.As for Ease of Use... well, you'll have to be careful, because getting into and out of them is a mixed bag, as once you've tightened the strings and knotted them, they are NOT coming off. After a long day, or lengthy work between breaks, when you want them OFF, they are a PAIN to get off, for some reason this is always my left foot that gets stuck at the ankle trying to pull it off...If you're in a similar field of work like I am, working either construction or some such, these may not be the best, and they make your feet sweat like hell, no matter the sock type, and i've got several different sock types, of which you'll want LONG socks, at least 3/4ths up your shin length, before putting these boots on, to keep from chaffing your shins, heels, and all.When moving around, these boots do give you some decent support, and protect your feet nicely, and they don't feel bad after walking around for hours. Experience: Spent a few shifts walking around for five hours at a time, and didn't get any foot pain from them.If these last another two years or more, I'll be pleased with the money I spent on these boots.TIP: if you're in the South, or an area that gets a LOT of sunlight and heat? GET THE BEIGE OR LIGHTER COLORS. NEVER wear black on those hot summer days!

These boots have been comfortable from the first time I put them on. They're not loose around the leg like others claim and there's more room to make them tighter if I wanted. Had my first day of milsim use with then and I did not rush home to take them off, they're still on while writing this review. During play it didn't feel like I had a brand new pair of combat boots on at all. The leather is sturdy enough to withstand a direct fire shot at 1.8joules, not even a dent in the leather. I will be purchasing more of these boots in other colors too.Only complaint I have is there seems to be an excessive amount of extra material along the tongue, it can bunch up if you don't take a extra second to make sure it folds right after you put it on. No water on the field today to test the waterproofing.Edit: after a full season of airsoft, 2 months of work. These boots are holding up great! They barely show any signs of wear, still super comfortable. Everyday I've worn them I end up wearing them all day long until I take my shoes off for the night, they are that comfortable. Highly recommend these boots. On a side note, not resistant to gasoline. I stepped in some and could feel the tread become very slippery, I cleaned them off immediately and there was no longterm damage, but that could have been different if I didn't clean them off quickly.

First of all, these are LIGHTWEIGHT boots...not only light in actual weight, but also (probably) in durability. Good ankle support and good ventilation. The uppers are thin (not lined) with plenty of room to tuck your pants legs in if desired. Very similar uppers to Vietnam-era jungle boots.These are *NOT* work boots. No way would they last under hard use. I would consider these to be hi-top walking shoes. But then they excel at that.One star off because the top 4 pairs of eyelets are NOT speed lace hooks! Really?! 8" boots without them? Keep in mind, these are NOT the version with side zippers (way to stiff and bulky for me).However, I find them SUPER comfortable. See my other review on the waterproof version.

These shoes have the durability of military grade equipment while at the same time having the comfort of your best hiking shoes on the market, but with a price that is absolutely unbeatable

Light, breathable. Not uncomfortable. Easy to get on and off. They did start splitting alittle on the inner front side after 3 months. Im not rough on them either so if youre doing heavy training they probably wont hold up
