Leather surely needed a break in period. Specifically around the ankles. When I first get them, because the leather was fresh, it was stiff nd ridgid nd bit into my ankles like a pit bull if I laced them up tight in that area. I almost was about to return them cause of it. Instead I decided to just loosen that area a little when I lace em up nd give it time. Within 3-4 days of walking 2-3 miles each day, they were broken in nd I could lace them up fully.
Quick Tip: (Boot companies use different foot templates for cutting they're boot. Hence, a size 12 pair of boots from Saloman fits smaller or different than a size 12 pair from Lowa.)
As I said, so far so good. Nd I do plan to get the Coyote Tan pair for off-duty, summer wear. Hope this review helped you in making a decision.
P.S: The Danner Tachyon boots suck!
I think these boots are really comfortably and so far i have no complaints. I have only worn them about for about two hours around the house, thinking i would need to break them in, but thats not the case. I will update my review when i have put them through some abuse at work.
I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for a comfortable boot. I can't speak for their durability yet, but im amazed how comfortable they are right out of the box. I will update with how durable they aee at a much later date.
I saw all the other negative reviews and my 2¢ is you guys got pairs of defective boots but I understand, mine are actually great. Either I was lucky or the people that wrote the negative reviews were just unlucky BUT I agree they need to be made here at home in the USA. Thanks everyone!
