In the sierras here we get just about all the weather so these saw desert heat, rain and snow through their use as my daily drivers during the contest.
I like the dark olive a lot because as it has broken in it has lightened in spots which creates a cool pull up effect which goes well with my dark olive Schott jacket. Care routine has been basic brushing and using VSC once. Break in was smooth, it’s CXL…
Fit is great, I have lower volume feet so a little thicker socks do the trick.
Near perfect craftsmanship. My only gripe is a misaligned tongue on the left boot. It slides to the left outside of the boot and I need to do something to correct it.
The lug sole served me well through our harshest seasons when I needed it. It is however not as comfortable for me as the dainite, leather or wedge soles.
If you like the color and style they’re pretty awesome. I think they’re also on sale, so while that lasts; pretty great value too. They feel like tanks and have held up really well.
