Really Disappointing For the Price!!!
By Ranger Rick
I’ve owned 2 pairs of these now, and I’ll never own another Blackhawk boot. Although initially I thought these were good boots, time has proven otherwise. In less than 1 year of wear on each set, the inner lining comes loose in the heel area and makes them uncomfortable to wear. The soles are dangerously slippery on anything wet, like tile or cement. The soles de-laminate from the cushion part of the boot. The protective borders crack around the toe. One set started cracking by the laces regarding midway up the boot. One set had the stitching on the tab to help pull on the boot on tear loose. I called Blackhawk twice for service, no real help. Finally got hold of their Service manager, he tried to make me feel like all the issues were my imagination, and had no value as feedback, even altho I was pleasant and attempting to give them good information. After 4 years as an Army Ranger, I recognise a thing or two when it comes to boots, so Blackhawk boots are poor quality, as is their service.

They aren’t Oakleys
By S. Casper
I rotated amid these books and a pair of Oakleys for my tour in Iraq. I was outside the wire most every day and these boots, while not as comfortable nor as light as the Oakleys wore better and kept together much better. Where the Oakleys are showing wear and tear, including cracks in the leather, and broken strings and threads, the Blackhawks are still going strong. They also were my boot of choice in wet and muddy weather as they seemed to offer better wet weather shelter and keep my feet warmer. The flip side is that durring the summer months they were too heavy and hot to wear without a very thin pair of socks, which wore on the soles of my feet a bit rougher than the thicker smart wool socks I prefer.

Great Boots!
By HolyKow
I have had these for assorted months and have been not one thing but exceedingly satisfied. I live in Seattle and make occasional jaunts into the desert climate of Eastern Washington. Very rocky nasty area that claimed a good pair of hiking shoes before I got these. These boots take everything I have thrown at them, including the record breaking snow and ice we have had over the last few months! Tough As Nails, very comfortable, very dry. No issues with lacing or any other problems. I wear a 12 or 13 in regular shoes. Bought the 13 boot and it is spot on. Best.Boots.Ever.
