There is nothing but good things to say about these boots. Over the last twelve years I've owned six different pairs (four desert and two black), and they've all been exceptional:+ Durable. The first and only thing to ever wear out on these is the sole. You can't really fault Altama when you wear through the bottoms. Some people even resole them when that happens, and get another life out of them, but I usually just start fresh. The one time I did resole them, I eventually got some cracking in the leather around the forefoot long into the second life of the boots.+ Comfortable. Right out of the box, these boots are really comfortable. The most comfortable combat boots that there are for warm weather. For running or for really long foot marches, you can put in a "aftermarket" insole, either to replace the one that comes from Altama or on top of it. Even without changing the insole, they are really comfortable.+ Lightweight. These are well-made, heavy-duty, boots, but they are also the lightest MILSPEC combat boots that you will find. I think the reason, is that so much of them is fabric, instead of leather, but either way, on long movements, your legs will thank you for the ounces that these boots shave off compared to most combat boots.+ Tread pattern. The tread is pretty basic on these boots, but it does the job. Some boots with aggressive looking soles end up getting clumped full of mud. When that happens, those boots weigh a ton. You are much better off with the less attractive, but just as functional Altama pattern.+ Made in USA. Every pair of these that I've gotten has been made in America.+ Look. These boots always look good. The black ones hold a shine very well, and the desert ones don't require any maintenance at all. Either way you go, they are a great looking boot with a lot of character.I highly recommend that you consider these boots.

The 9" Altama Mil. Spec. boot is a great buy. They are well made, comfortable, rugged and they look cool. The shipping was very fast, they had all the sizes to choose from and I even received a very nice free Altama T-shirt. I looked every where for these boots and Amazon had just what I was looking for at a great price!

Based on about 10 days of day hikes over rocky ground, this is a great boot. Cool in the sun, and aggressive tread holds on rocks. A little loose fitting in the heal at first, but it eventually broke in. Order your military size, which in my case in 1/2 size smaller than my jogging shoe size.
