>>651454combat boots are terrible, no matter the price point. They take eternity to break in, and by a segment, they really are not good for posture, movement or joint pressure. Further, you will likely find out they dont have the quality, fit and finish that a $150+ boot should have. In any case, combat boots are the lowest form of /out/ing shoes available. Virtually ALL "special operators" will adopt Trail boots when the privilege is granted.
look for: Salomon, Asolo etc.. high top boots and save your self the dissapointment of $200 Danners that you will never want to wear.
