It was time for a new pair of “good” duty boots and the new job precipitated a purchase.
Finding boots to fit my Fred Flintstone style feet is always difficult and I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of boots for several years. In the past I’ve worn and loved Danner’s and I’ve worn and sort of loved, generic “Mil Issue” boots. The kind that give you flat feet and don’t have a steel toe.
Here’s the ’09 boots:
My new boots are a pair of 5.11 “ATAC shield Boots”. They have the handy side zips and a composite toe. So far I really like them. I think they’ll take a while to break in, however they have a “30 day comfort guarantee”, so if I don’t love ‘em in a month, back to the shop they go.
