having a heavy boot could be actually really good as a work boot. Those stitching help them last a looong time

I like your video on these. I have been out of the Corps for 25 years. These things are heavy, for sure, but they are also much more comfortable than the issue boots I had at my time. Mine had a rubber sole, no foam cushioned midsole like these. I like the wider shape on them because with the seam on soles, they fit wider than the welt on boots. I bought a couple pairs from Danner on sale for $75 a few years ago. I wouldn't pay the $300+ on these. I use them for hiking and at work, very durable.

For a work horse of a work boot I've had great luck with them. They are a little heavy but they can be rebuilt, have good traction and stiffness, and the vent keeps your foot dry. They would suck for PT.

I work for a contract company that provides services for AAV's and is staffed by mostly old jarheads. I bought these for work because steel toe is required, and Ive found that all the bates lites and other running shoe style bots ware out withina couple years. I hope these are the last boots I ever buy

I go through boots. I cycle them. First they start as my Casual Wear Work Boots and as they loose their looks they go to my Hard and Rough Work Boots. I need boots that are easy to put on (military vertical loop are the best to loosen and tighten up), comfortable for standing, walking, and getting me through the day, and are insanely tough. That is why I buy surplus Military boots. I have scored Black REDWING made 1980 vintage combat boots ($40 + shipping), Black Wolverine made Army boots early 1990's ($60 free shipping), Black Belleville Flight Deck Boots ($60 + shipping - note these are heavy boots but the most comfortable - best for all weather conditions), and just purchased these Wellco RAT Boots in Tan for $70 (have not arrived yet). All were NEW OLD STOCK UNISSUED. I buy them because I need tough and inexpensive. Has nothing to do with the Globe and Anchor on the side of the boot and even though I am a Veteran I was Navy not a Marine. The emblem does not bother me a bit. They are for working in.

Have owned both bates and danner RAT boots, danner is higher quality with the chance to get them rebuilt and are a bit heavier than the bates version. Bates are cheaper a bit lighter and if you own the bates gortex version the liner isnt sewn down well in the boot. Both were great when I had them did everything from pt, hikes, and CFT in them overall my favorite boot but both companies have discontinuedt hem, there are leftovers or secondaries you can find online but your best bet is to just go with the danner MEB its an updated RAT boot just without the leather on the heel and toe

also, son.. Combat boots are designed to do what some of us do at ‘work’ so yeah i wear combat boots to work and run with heavy loads over long distances for hours and wear them until the soles split. The question is when. The grass never gets greener.
