Garmont T8 Extreme GTX Insulated Tactical Military Boot

(After a 16 mile, 1,000Ft+ elevation change, and 7+ hour hike my feet were still comfortable and would be able to wear the boot for the rest of the day) Bought these boots because they are waterproof and we’re hopefully thin enough to hike warm weather and cold weather conditions. They were a little roomy and didn’t really have an issue with the insole but still decided to swap it out with a better one which, I couldn’t be happier that I did. They fit perfect now and don’t give me any issues when hiking in 100 degree weather nor do they give me issues in freezing rain. I’ve walked through mid calf streams and my feet stayed dry. I have stood in boot high water for long periods of time and they still kept my feet dry. I love the flat laces and the design as well. With a good pit of boots like these and a good upkeep they should last me years and years! The two photos I have are fresh after a cleaning so the leather is wet making them look darker, they are a true coyote brown when dry. Serious props to Garmont for making a boot I will buy again and comfortably wear every day.

I was a little leery ordering boots online, but I took the risk, and now I'm glad I did! I'm an Army veteran, and I can tell you that quality boots make or break a troop that's on the ground. I normally have to buy half a size up for boots and shoes, as I wear a wide, but they offered my size and it fit perfectly. These boots will easily go into bunny boots if you work in the deep arctic like I do, although they're plenty warm for any climate you're likely to come across about +50 to -50 in latitude (Basically the southern border of Canada all the way to deep south Argentina.) If you're in Europe, these boots will do fine, as the Gore-tex lining helps keep your feet dry. If you're as far north as Norway, these boots may be sufficient, but you might want some bunny boots to go over them. They were a bit rigid out of the box, but that's to be expected. I soaked the inside with water and wore them around the house for a few hours. That broke them in immediately. I was on my feet for 10 hours yesterday, and didn't give my feet a second thought. Very comfortable and very highly recommended. I do recommend buying a suede boot cleaning kit to keep them looking nice, if you're concerned with such things.

I purchased these to replace an exact pair that I have been using for work. I purchased my first pair at a local retailer and they were about $80 more than through Amazon seller. They run a bit small I normally wear a size 9 1/2 and these I had to get in a size 10. The MOST comfortable boot I have worn. No break in period required, didn't need it and didn't get any sore points or blisters from wearing them out of the box. Once this pair wears out I will be purchasing another. First pair lasted a year and a half of daily wear. Highly recommend.

Only worn for a week so not broken in yet. So far, no major complaints. I will update the review if needed in the future. I'm giving 4 stars only because of the width sizing of the boot. I've been in the Army for 18 years and this is the first time I've ever needed a "wide" boot. Originally purchased the normal width and knew immediately I needed the wide. But even the wide version is "snug" around the ball of my foot. Length of the boot seems to run about normal. I've been wearing the Nike SFB before buying the Garmont for this winter. I've added some pictures of side by side comparison of the two boots. The Nike's are a regular size 9.5, the Garmonts are the 9.5 wide version. Unless you have an extremely narrow foot, buy the wide.

I did order a size up and wide and they fit very well. I soaked one boot for 12 minutes in a bucket of water and not a single drop penetrated. I went for a motorcycle ride in 20 degree weather plus windchill and my feet stayed totally warm(with wool socks on). I love these boots. I looked at all the different brands, and I choose these because they are goretex, lightweight, cool looking, flexible, stay warm even though they don’t look insulated(thanks to thinsulate). I also have taken several high snow hikes and feet stay warm and dry. When I got them I also went ahead and added a liquid water repellent to the leather for added waterproofing. I choose these over the s2v boots partially based on a YouTube video where a army guy discusses all the different tactical boots and why this one is the best overall.

I have had these boots going on two years now, 10,000 to 13,000 steps a day. They are worn daily from 6am to 6 pm in all the weather Maine can throw at them. They have seen heavy rain, sub zero temps and hot humid days. They still have plenty of life left in them. No rips, or deterioration of the fabric, none of the eyes have pulled out and I'm still on the original laces. The Gortex is still doing it's job keeping my feet dry and comfortable despite the crazy rainy summer we had this year. The tread is starting to wear and will probably go first but I have no doubt the boots will make it till spring.

I bought these bc I had to go to 32 days of training at Camp Grafton in North Dakota. While I was there we had two snow storm and some weather that was in the teens not to mention freezing rain. Not open time did my feet get cold like in traditional boots and everytime it rained my boots never got wet. The rain would just bead up and roll off my boot. These boots are support comfortable and give great ankle support. My course was 7 days a week for 32 days so I wore these constantly and had not one issue. Take it from an Engineer soldier these are great boots and the price was surprising. If you have to buy military boots you know how expensive a good pair of boots can be!

The supposedly wide boots are still a bit narrow. The area where my feet go is not tall enough so the boots slightly squeeze my feet. However, the insoles are great and the soles of the boots make me feel like I am walking on a cloud. I am hoping that the material of the boots stretch as I wear them in over time. Concerning the fit, I had to go up one full size. I am actually thinking about going up another half size on top of that. These boots definitely run small.

Nice boots ..to small 12 UK length ok ..got wide fitting but very very tight had to send back

For the premium price I paid, I was expecting a much better product. The finish of the boots I received was terrible to say the least. There were gaps between the seams (the boots won't be waterproof), stitching are weak, the "vibram" sole is very soft and will most likely rip or break off when hiking on rocky terrain. I find such defect and poor craftmanship unacceptable, and I don’t understand how these shoes passed quality control. I'm very disappointed with these boots, and wish I had looked elsewhere. I will most likely go with Salomon for my next pair.

I ordered these based on the reputation of the brand and I'm not disappointed. Great product and high quality as expected. A couple of notes that I hope can help others considering these:. 1. I wear a 9 regular in most of my boots and shoes. I ordered the 9 Wide in these based on the other reviews. I was worried they'd be too small but I didn't want too large for hiking... They fit perfectly. Definitely a snug fit, and with a good quality hiking sock. If you like a looser fit or want to wear thicker socks, I'd say you have to go up a size. They are a narrow boot, so for my I definitely needed the wide and recommend it to most people. I don't have a "wide" foot per se, but I definitely need the wide. 2. Ordering from Canada, Amazon pre-arranges the duties and charges them up front, which is great. In my case, they ended up refunding me almost $50 that they charged on duties, so the actual duty was around $20. So if you're ordering from Canada, consider that possibility. They're not cheap boots, but I think they're going to last and are definitely high quality. Thanks Amazon and Thanks Garmont!

Einfach ein guter Stiefel. Die Passform ist etwas enger an den Zehen als beim BIfida. Das ist auch das einzige was ich auszusetzen habe. Die 3m Isolierung macht einen guten Job. So bis -5 grad ohne „Warme“ Socken benutzbar. Auch gut gefällt mir das der Stiefel trotz „dünnem“ Schaft gut die Knöchel unterstützt.

I had been looking for a vortex coyote Brown boot I'm the style of a JPB for ages and was about to give up the hunt until I found these. Familiar with the Harmony brand I bought them straight away. They are an excellent file, practically requiring no break in. They are a very snug boot to get your foot into and can be a bit of a fight, but once in you have outstanding ankle support. I bought these as a light weight wear to compliment my Meindle boots for really heavy going mud slugging.
