I have had these for about a year and 9 months. Used them exclusively for law enforcement (patrol and SWAT team work). They are fabulous once you get used to them! I trained with minimalist shoes for a while first and these have made my feet so much stronger. Recently went on a week long training mission in the forest and my feet were going strong when everyone else was complaining. I would buy a half size larger than normal. Only thing I could hope for would be an insulated version for the winter.

I would love to have a pair of these boots; however, I see there isn't a safety toe option. I get that would probably defeat the purpose of a minimalist boot, but I believe a lot of people would buy if this were an option. As an aircraft maintainer, we're forced to opt for the safety toe boots which, are mainly heavy and uncomfortable.

These are without a doubt the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. They don't feel like wearing a boot, more like a pair of moccasins, flip-flops, house-slippers. I am a natural resource specialist and I wear these for everything from gator-hunting to hiking across rocky terrain and office work. I have $300 pairs of boots and I find myself continuously coming back to these boots. After four years I have only needed to replace the insole twice. I am only replacing this boot due to damage where something cut through the the leather and stitching on the left boot (which held up with cut stitching for 3 years) and damage where I accidentally cut through the nylon material recently.
