Propper Men's Series 100 8" Boot

These boots only get three stars because I had to push the gusset forward from its original position to keep it from digging into my upper ankle on the inside left of the left boot. There is also a distinctive squeak while walking coming from the right boot's heel. There is also a very strong chemical smell emanating from the boots themselves ( hopefully this will dissipate over time).

Great alternative to what we have to wear with our Type III uniform. I use it for EDC and it's holding up great so far. Closest to the condor Jackson boot which disappeared off the planet.

They represent a seemingly excellent value for the price, yet in my instance they unfortunately didn't work out. One lazy 8 mile ride home on my motorcycle tore the non-flesh-side-out toe right through on the first day of wearing. Granted, it's not a motorcycle boot, but every other desert boot I've worn over the years hasn't had this failure. Yes, the rubber shifter end is in perfect/new condition. Unfortunately going home that day cost me $120.00. That aside, I found the boot instantly comfortable and their lacing and lacing features are superior. This boot in a flesh-side-out offering would be ideal.

1st impression was good, but then after extended wear the heal cup ankle issue started. The heal cup is too high or not formed in a good way, rubs bottom of ankle making sore after extended walking . Tried different socks with to see if a heavier padded sock would help. Did not. Will not order these again as they are just not comfortable in the long run.

I bought my first pair of these Propper boots 2 years ago, most comfortable boot I've ever owned! I have walked through wet grass and damp areas outdoors and my feet stay dry! I have not submerged or walked through a stream but I'm sure they will remain water resistant within reason. Breath well and my feet don't sweat. I recommend under Armour heat gear socks with these boots in the hot humid weather. I will but again, love that they come with a spare sole
