If you’ve been in Law Enforcement or the Military there’s a good chance you’ve likely tried out more than one Tactical boot. Maybe you found that you didn’t know your true boot size or perhaps the boots fell apart after a short amount of use. In any case it’s good to garner more information on boots. […]
I’ve owned other Salomon shoes and boots in the past and can honestly say they have been the best footwear I’ve spent money on. Yes, they may cost more than other brands, but you get what you pay for. My military service taught me the importance of having the proper footwear and taking care of your feet […]
My experience with Danner boots began back in 2001 when the Acadia was the issued winter boot for all Rangers within the 75th Ranger Regiment. It didn’t take long for anyone to figure out they were far superior to the green “Jungle Boots” in almost every application. Since that time, I’ve toured the Danner factory as well as taken […]
This past summer we had our own USMC Veteran and current wildland firefighter Travis Pike perform an extensive testing cycle on the Propper International Series 100 boots. So when Propper International reached out and asked if I wanted to test out their 300 Series boots I knew that I was going to be testing a quality […]
Ridgemont hasn’t been around for long. In fact, most of you probably haven’t heard of Ridgemont or have seen a pair walking around town. Because Ridgemont is a very new brand on the scene. So new, that their webpage is offering some lucrative investment options to help them raise capital. I was lucky enough to grab […]
The photo above is a picture of me while I was traveling around the Southwest. Among hoarding gear, my recreational hobbies include photography and hanging out in precarious places. After all, what is the point in having nice gear if you don’t ever put it to use? I prefer to hit the trails in the […]
It’s no secret that I enjoy using Danner boots, and it’s no surprise why. In the toughest environments I’ve been in, Danner boots have held their own. In heat over 110 degrees and while being ground against jagged rocks, my issued Acadia’s were totally dependable. During a tour of the Danner factory in Portland, OR, […]
Not every mission-set requires the operator to be fully kitted-up in tactical gear. Sometimes, a more delicate touch is needed. A Low-Vis operation that requires personnel to blend into an urban environment. Or a Low-Vis security detail that doesn’t want to draw attention to the principal. For these missions, the choice of footwear might be […]
A quality pair of boots can make a massive difference in comfort and performance in the field or for everyday wear. In the military, I owned many pairs of high-end combat boots for different environments that are still serviceable to this day, but as a civilian, I prefer boots that are non-tactical looking to keep […]
Everyone who owns a pair of Lowa boots will agree with me that they are one of the most durable and well-built boots on the market. I have been wearing my Lowa Elite Desert boots for two years now, and they have been through some serious beating. However, the sole and the boot itself are […]
