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

I am a UPS driver. I walk 20,000 to 25,000 steps per day. It is really hard to find shoes that can survive the abuse my job puts on them. I recently decided to switch from normal walking shoes to boots because I have bad ankles. I am always scared to spend too much on shoes, because I have never found any shoe, at any price, that lasted more than six months. The last pair of boots I had were twice the price of these ones, and the entire sole peeled off after 3 weeks, but these had good reviews, and were very reasonably priced, so I decided to give them a go. (The dark brown ones). Straight out of the box they were probably the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. I thought I was going to have to break them in for a while, but that was no problem. Also, the ankle support is superb. After a month, or two, each shoe started to show a small gap between the sole and the shoe near the ball of my foot. But I put a tiny bit of shoe glue in there, and it hasn't been a problem again. Right now, I have been wearing them every day for 3 months (or at least 1.3 Million steps), and they seem like they will probably make it another 3, at least. That's probably about as much as you can reasonably ask for boots that were under $70. One other note: they are supposed to be waterproof, but I haven't really had a chance to test that out here through the bone-dry, Salt Lake City summer months. But if they last into the winter, I will give an update on that. Update: The total durability wound up being about 7-8 months, or about 3 million steps. And, even at seven months they were still waterproof. They could have probably gone another month even, but the soles were getting pretty thin, and I decided to get a new pair for winter. I ended up getting the dark black this time, which seems to hold up better in terms of appearance. They were not as comfortable, out of the box, as the dark brown ones were, but still pretty comfortable, and broke in quickly. Also, whereas the brown ones seemed very breathable, and cool; the black ones seem to be much warmer, so they work out better for the cold weather, and snow.

Buying shoes is a struggle. Finding a product and your size is a problem. Online is hit or miss. The Free Soldier hit this one out of the park. Comfortable, light and a great fit for mowing and yard work. And quickly they have become my everyday shoe. Tried many "walking" and "running" shoes to address a supination stride issue and still get a sore hamstring muscle. Not so with these: shopping, chasing the grandkids around the yard, etc and no pain. A great value for the price.

My only real gripe is partially my own fault for not reading the description in its entirety down to the VERY LAST LINE. It clear as day says that if you have skinny/narrow feet that you should order a size down for a better fit. If I had read that I would have gotten a 12 instead of my usual 13. Even still after lacing they still fit decently enough to keep. Even with that, pretty comfortable even before break-in. Laces are easy, ankle support is good, nice texture, color and look pretty decent on the outside. Quality is pretty ideal for the price point. Can’t get a whole lot cheaper, but they could be way less comfortable. No input on durability yet, but the build seems nice, doesn’t feel cheap. I’m on my feet 12-14 hours a day and travel 5+ miles any given day so I’ll update my review after some time has passed.

I've purchased these twice because they're excellent. I use them outdoors, and they've proven to be very durable and comfortable.

Comfortable and fits perfectly while I've been homeless these boots are a life saver

Initial review, laced up nicely didn't have to light every eyelet like some boots. Boot tug was larger than my finger on these. I've bought far too many that you need a hook to pull them on their so tight. These will actually need a breaking in period. Time will tell on the durability and water proof...

Not the greatest quality. I bought these March of 2025. I work armed security and am sitting for well over half my shift, so it isn't like I was putting a lot of strain on these. After 11 months of owning them, the outside sole of the right boot began detaching, and now, as of April 2, 2025, I am still using them but it has gotten to the point where I have about a week left on them before they are unusable. Disappointing when I paid sixty bucks for them, yet a twenty-five dollar pair of Interceptors from WALMART lasted me for just over two years working overnights at a convenience store during which I was almost never sitting, and was constantly walking, bending, lifting, etc. A pair of combat boots should last two years minimum, absent EXTREME use. I wouldn't recommend this product unless you are made of money and want to buy a new pair once per year. If so, then go ahead, because the one good thing I can say for these is that they are quite comfortable.

This is my second pair, my first pair was bought about 2 1/2 -3 yrs ago. Boots is about the only thing I wear and these are super comfortable. I after all that time and doing a lot outside getting them muddy and soaked they still kept going. It was about 3 months ago I noticed there was a tear starting at the sole at the inside of my left boot. I highly recommend this boots. I wish they made them with a safety toe (steal or composite) I would get them for work too. For the price it’s a great boot!

Mon pied était trop serré dans ma taille habituelle et j'a dû les retourner. Le remboursement n'a pas été complet.

One boot was wide (left side) and the other one was normal (right side) and i order 9.5 wide . Une botte était un 9.5wide (gauche) l'autre était 9.5 normal et j'avais commander des 9.5 wide .

they are not wide boots, if u have wide feet not recomented .
