If you're looking for a durable, comfortable, boot, look no further than the Bates Tropical Seals. I have owned these for 5 years and worn them for work as a DOD contractor and LEO. We have the same boot in the Corps, but in a desert suede which are equally incredible.
From foot patrols in dry rocky terrain to a beat in the city, these boots never let me down. 12-18 days on foot and anyone's feet will hurt, but these made it better than any other boots I've owned. The sole is more of a urban tactical sole than a combat boot. It's forward oriented tread makes running on hard surfaces easier than with a more traditional blocky combat sole.
These are the boots the Navy Seals are issued in training. And as I mentioned, the Marine Corps is using the same boot in a rough-out tan. They're that good. After 5 years of hard use, my soles are just starting to show some wear.
Enthusiastically recommended. Retain and promote ahead of peers.

These boots are simply amazing! I bought these to start training for BUD/s and I must say that they are well worth the $120! The only thing is I wear size 12 normally but I had a feeling these might run a little big for the size so I went with a 11.5 and they fit perfectly. I can run several miles in these comfortably, well worth the money!

Great boot that is extremely comfortable right out of the box. I've been running in mine for about 2 months now and they're great. The only problem I've had is that they aren't exactly true to size. I ordered the same size as my running shoe and wear 2 pairs of socks...still a bit large. I tried soaking them in water thinking that as they dried, they would shrink. They are most definitely as waterproof as they come because they did not shrink at all.
I have ordered another pair though, a half size smaller, because they are that good.
