Which Nike Combat Boots Should You Get?: Nike SFB Gen 2 vs. Nike SFB Field 2

Nike makes quality combat boots, but which one should you get? Let’s compare two of their most popular boots.

Darn Tough Tactical Light Cushion Sock

Darn Tough tactical boot socks vs. other brands

Socks, the topic nobody really focuses on until it’s too late. Rangers (and pretty much all other SOF or light Infantry types) spend a lot of time on their feet. The importance of a good quality set of socks cannot be understated. I’ve used socks from a variety of companies and have put them through […]

A Cascade Experience: La Sportiva Core High GTX

A Cascade Experience | La Sportiva Core High GTX

One pound on your feet is five on your back, but sometimes lighter isn’t always better. Find out if La Sportiva bridges the gap between light and stable?

5.11 Pursuit Advance Boots: A tactical boot in a casual profile

5.11 Pursuit Advance Boots: A tactical boot in a casual profile

Nearly a year ago to the date, I acquired the 5.11 Pursuit Advance Boots. Originally I was drawn to the casual design, but as soon as I put the boots on I was in love. The Pursuit Advance are amongst the topmost comfortable boots I have ever put on, are extremely light, and extremely mobile. […]

Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage boots: From the city to the mountains

Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage boots: From the city to the mountains

I received my pair of Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage boots about a year ago and have put plenty of miles on them. The color scheme of the pair I got was the Oxford/Rust which gives the boot more of an old-school hiking boot look. There was a break in time with these boots; around 1 week of wearing them […]

AmeriTac Strikers: Between you and the ground

AmeriTac Strikers: Between you and the ground

The satisfaction of a great piece of footwear is only second to the touch of a beautiful woman. At least to me, it is. I’d love to say I’ve humped as many women as I have miles in boots, but that’s just not possible. I live by a few mantras, and one of them is: […]

Merrell Moab 2 Mid GTX: One year update

Merrell Moab 2 Mid GTX: One year update

I have worn these Merrells Moab 2 Mids on various terrain and in various conditions for 0ver a year now. They fit just as comfortable now as they first did fresh out of the box. These boots have performed exceptionally well and continue to do so regardless of whether I find myself trekking through mud, sand, or […]

Photo of the day: My favorite Salomon footwear

Photo of the day: My favorite Salomon footwear

Salomon brand footwear has been my go-to company for many years now. I’ve had hiking shoes/boots from a variety of leading manufacturers, but Salomon reigns king in my eyes. I was introduced to my first pair of Salomon boots by the great imperial 1st Ranger Battalion. The Salomon Quest 4D were my first issued pair […]

Merell's Famous Moabs: A Go Anywhere Option?

Merell’s Famous Moabs: A Go Anywhere Option?

It’s odd how you learn about companies and how that forms an opinion on the company itself. I first heard of Merells in reference to expensive boots for women. In Florida, we don’t wear winter boots often and it seems as soon it dips below 60 the women of Florida switch to their fanciest winter […]

Army’s search for a new combat boot reveals shortcomings with current designs

Army’s search for a new combat boot reveals shortcomings with current designs

In an attempt to improve the soldiers’ well-being and effectiveness the U.S. Army is testing prototypes for its new Army Combat Boot (ACB). The U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM) Soldier Center settled on a number of prototypes. Over the span of the next four months, the Army will issue them to recruits […]
