Took me less than a week to break these in plus my feet appreciated the wider toe box. Repelled water well and kept my feet dry.
These were my second tactical style of boot I have tried so far. I think for the price point and for casual life, light hiking, Range training these are a great option! I’d be interested in trying the zipper boot option for quicker in and out and maybe see an iteration of them with a sneaker boot sole perhaps without a heel. However I’m very pleased with these boots and would recommend!!
These boots are the most comfortable 9.5 I have ever worn. Most boots I have used have always been a size up because 9.5 just doesn't fit probably causing a more wobble when hiking and hunting up hills and mountains in 10's. These boots feel comfortable and very durable. The inserts it comes with to customize the toe box is genius as you can go from wide to narrow based on your foot. They took a trip to the range and some yard work with no problem and now plan on using these as my new hunting boots to replace some old Big 5 cheapies. Very impressed with these boots.
Great tread versatility and comfortable out of the box.
I wear boots all day, everyday. Maintenance work during the week. Hiking and trekking on weekends. I have a wide food with short toes, which makes boot shopping difficult. These boots fit my feet perfectly out of box, which I find rare when buying boots especially online. I was able to take these boots through rocky mountain terrain and sand without loss of grip.
Buying boots online makes me nervous. I have to say these boots are more comfortable than I expected. They were a little tight in the toe box initially. After a day of wearing they were much better. The boots look to be well made. So far I've done a little hiking and I can't complain. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
After unboxing the Coyote Brown 6 inch Brigade Tactical Boots and wearing them on 2 different range days, totaling 14 hours I must say these boots are the real deal. No wear shown, true sizing and comfortable out of the box, you can't ask for more. I am looking forward to getting a second pair in black. You wont regret buying these!
These are very light, comfortable boots with no break in period. As someone who has worn boots professionally for 19 years now, these boots punch well above their price tag. I have worn them now on a few range trips with tremendous success. Sizing is spot on and they are treated with scotchguard out of the box. I'm am extremely happy with this pair and will be getting a second pair in black.
I was thrilled when I put these boots on and got to walking around and they wear great, comfortable, lighter than expected so Reebok and Merrell's baby I enjoy these boots.
Comfortable and light weight!
Very comfortable boot! Highly recommended.
Really good like the fit feels good on the foot eay on the shin
Purchased th 8in brigade fits well feel good only problem with most shoe makers today they dont stitch the sole of the shoe to the top but most companies dont anymore so well see how long they last be for they start to tare
Very comfortable! Keep feet dry.
Very durable and a comfortable boot.
Bought size 11, too short, toes dig into front walking downhill. 12 would be too big, most likely.
These boots are very lightweight and breathable. Only thing is maybe size up a half size if you can. They seemed to be a bit smaller then other boot brands.
There are many pros to this boot. First I wear a size 14E tennis shoes or 15E boot. With these being 14 I was worried. Take the Tacfit out and they fit like a glove. They are stiff at first but break in within 20ish hours of use. The lace pocket on the front is perfect. Grips on wet surfaces a lot better than other high dollar tactical boots. The tongue sits securely and doesnt fold in on itself when it dries like other boots I've worn. My only complaint is the boot strap on the back. Its a tiny pocket that my Shrek fingers cant grip, so putting the boot on requires a lot of loosened laces. Put an actual loop where a finger can slip in and around to make getting the boot on a lot easier. Other than that, I highly recommend it. This review was written after 61 hours of wear that included every day tasks, warehouse work, range time, and several mile hikes.
Overall after the beak in period these boots were great, lightweight compared to others and very supportive of the ankles in tougher spots.
One thing I would like to see is definitely steel or composite toe
Haven’t broken them in yet, but so far they’re comfy seem comfy. Would be nice if I could get a true EE width but I just went up half a size and they fit great! Outsole are surprisingly grippy as I was skeptical about the tread at first. Great ankle support, but I’m excited to see what it looks feels like when it’s properly broken in.
Would be nice if you could get EE width, I had to go one half size up because of my wide feet. But so far they’re comfy but I haven’t broken them in yet. I took a quick hike through the coulees, ankle support is good and they’re are surprisingly light and the outsoles are pretty grippy as I was skeptical about the tread. Also they look kick ass!
To be honest-first wear, I had my doubts. The fit felt stiff and hurt the top of my feet. I wasn't sold on how they'd hold up over a full day. I put them to work anyway. I Ran them through a 10 hour day, just over 10k steps, mixed terrain and constant movement.
Somewhere past the half way mark, they started to break in and settle. By then end of the day, there was no hot spots , no foot pain and they moved better than they startred.
I got these for down range assisting the army at Fort Carson then went to Africa. These were the perfect boots for these missions. The boots broke in within the first week.
I bought these boots as a replacement for my Rockys and have not been disappointed. The added benefit of having extra insoles is nice as well. The only thing that I will say is with how padded they are they are comfortable but they also heat up fast.
Very comfortable boot, size was correct. I like that the laces are contained in the eyes, no hooks to contend with. Hoping for many years of use from these boots.
I wanted to get a pair of these to try out as soon as I saw them. I absolutely love them. they are well made, comfortable, and rugged. cant wait to get them out in the field more to see how they hold up to more abuse. I have a wide foot (often needing an extra wide) and these fit perfectly.
all in all these are awesome boots so far
