CQR Men's Military Tactical Boots, Lightweight 6 Inches Combat Boots, Durable EDC Outdoor Work Boots

I deliver for a career and walk from 7 to 10 miles a day on my route. I've had these boots since August 16, 2018. I've been wearing this every day. On day one it was very comfortable!!! It didn't need to be broken in like typical leather shoes. There are no rips or holes from wear and tear.It is not water proof. Altho if you go to the camping section in an outdoor store and get a waterproof spray, it could work.I'm very impressed with these boots. It lasted me 6 months and the only reason why is the soles are balding and becoming slippery.

So far so good. Very comfortable for us big guy (That's internet PC talk for fat) that have the height and weight game on lock. Excellent ankle support out of the gate while maintaining some flexibility. Boot does not come apart and I doubt I'm going to have to replace this after 1-2 years of heavy civvie use (could make a good deployment boot). I originally gave these a 4 star due to what I thought was a flaw in that the boots did not do well with the traction. Upon further testing (I found some shit while on duty that was slick AF), I found these boots to pretty much be perfect. I attempted to step in a "flooded" area of the job site and socks are still dry then attempted to slide on a heavily mossy area, an area of a parking lot with the disabled logo painted on the deck and then an area of metal non slip grading ( I walked with the lines not against) and these boots stopped and retained traction without sliding.I'm labeling these the best boots ever if I stand by this rating in 2019/2020

I purchased these boots about 70 days ago and now the right boot sole has almost completely separated from the bottom of the boot. Amazon won't allow me to message the seller, and I can't find any more information on the manufacturer to submit a warranty claim.I'll at least say I enjoyed these boots while they lasted. They're quite comfortable, supportive, lightweight, and are easy to get on and off. It's a shame they didn't last more than three months.

If you're working indoors or walking some easier trails these are a (EDIT: NOT a good pair)good pair of shoes to have.Comfortable, lightweight, breathable, no zipper to break, easy thread eyelets. I wear size 11 and I ordered 11 and they fit just fine. They'll handle winter socks but not too thick.Tread is disappearing pretty quick and the sole is very pliable. While that helps with grip it's not good for longevity. I give these shoes 6 months or less. I hope they prove me wrong.On a side note Amazon makes it impossible for the customer to be informed about their purchases. There used to be a different page for all products which means when I read a review for that product it WAS FOR THAT PRODUCT. They then consolidated the reviews to the point of near-uselessness. Look at product and look at reviews. I don't want to wade through the other CQR shoes I didn't but just to find the few reviews of the sku I did. This change was done a long time ago but it still is an ugly way to offer consumers reviews.Update October 8th:These are not good shoes. I do not recommend them. The brown stuff you see is not fabric or leather(HA!). It's a coating that will start to flake off after a month. They have also developed 3 holes. When your(CQR) shoes fall apart after a month it's obvious where your companies priorities are.DO NOT BUY. Worst money I've spent within the past two months.

I’ve tried many boots. These are the best. 8 months in Florida heat. Still look & feel broken in, not falling apart like more expensive boots. I use Dr. Scholls heal lifts. The Achilles problem I had before I purchased these boots has not reappeared. My original review is below. 👇🏻 I love these boots ! Style, comfort, & breathability of Under Armour, at half the price.Many reviews stated CQR boots run a little wide. So I purchased size 10, not 10.5. Glad I did. They fit perfectly, with plenty of room in the toe box.Another reason I selected CQR is I have been having an intermittent issue with my Achilles. When I researched tactical boots, CQR advertisement bullets highlighted their ankle support. I did put Dr. Scholls heel lift inserts in my CQR’s.They feel great & I have had no issues with my Achilles while wearing them.The boots needed no break in. The first time I wore them was during four hour Active Shooter Training. The training was in a building with hard surface tile and up & down stairs, which was a true test with my Achilles issue. They performed well. The soles gripped different surfaces well, with no annoying squeaking. Pretty important while tactically hunting and clearing rooms. The ankle support gave me confidence. I was able to focus on my tasks without hesitation.My last pair of Under Armour boots began falling apart at about 5 months. UA are excellent boots, but durability is a fail. I expect to get at least that out of my CQR boots. At half the price, that’s a win. Any durability beyond that is a bonus !Time will tell. CQR boots may be my new go to tactical boots.

Inicial impression of the boots are stellar .. No defects found and build quality is great .. Sizing is perfect they are secure but not overtly snug on my feet .. They are very lite sneaker like boot I can easily see my self going for a run in these or using them at the gym .. Overall I'm happy with the purchase
