preffered boots

I went with BATES side zip,gortex (waterproof). Although I havent got a chance to wear them everyday, I will say that they are extremely comfortable and worth the $135. Lil pricey but much cheaper route than say danners.
 
My summer boot is the Bates GX-8. Love them, they are light, fast, goretex but breathe. I had the 100 rocky boots but the were HOT, my feet always sweat in them, was not happy with them. I had the 5.11 XPRT boots, but they use plastic eyelets that would break when you tighten them, weren't side zip and now they are gone, not a good boot

I'm wearing the 5.11 ATAC storm, excellent boots, weatherproof, light, warm enough for winter, breathe for the summer, an all around excellent boots that I love

NJ EMS Task Force issues the Haix Airpower, I'm not crazy about them, don't like front zip and they are heavy and clunky
 
I prefer the Magnums with the zipper on the side. Easy on, easy off, and they are the most comfortable for me. I tried the Bates and there were the most uncomfortable peice of foot wear I have ever put on!

I aslo got a pair at a discount store in my area for 30.00 and they sell for over 100.00 at the uniform store!!! and yes they were brand new with out any defects that were obvious anyway!

Happy
