Review by Theraphosa for Men’s 5.11 Tactical® 8″ HRT Desert Boots
Rating:
I originally bought these boots for riding my motorcycle.
From this point of view, these have proven to be an excellent choice for motocyclist
PROS:
-Kevlar protection of vulnerable ankle bone in case of get-off/slide
-Boot design is such that repeated use of shift lever does not damage boot
-Light, yet well built
-Comfortable on and off the bike
-Waterproof in extended downpours when worn under waterproof riding pants
CONS:
-Traditional lacing gets old when taking on and off, speed laces would be nice.
-Not quick to get on or take off.
These are excellent boots on any level. I bought them just for riding, but I find I wear them for everything from cutting the grass to casual wear on trips. You don’t want to wear them anywhere you might need to take them off or put them back on in a short time, because they don’t have any type of speed lacing. I have to unlace the top holes and completely loosen the laces all the way down to get them off. However, this means that once they are on, they are not coming off in an accident. They are also amazingly light and comfortable. They remind me of my dedicated running shoes. The liner is removable and my orthotics slide right in. However, even though I have custom made orthotics, I often don’t wear them because these boots are just so comfortable with the factory liner.
I’ve had these over a year and they are wearing very well. I have no doubt I’ll get a second pair when these wear out, which is probably still a couple of years off at this rate.

These are not daily work boots but with extra kick when you need them the most. Whether you are in rain, snow or on desert these are the ones you really need. It can take the beating so its called Tactical!! There are many others that does the same thing but might be too pricy or cheaper but I like these and haven’t had any problem lately. Chek it out you will not be disapointed
