5.0 out of 5 stars Great show/Office boots, doesn't disappoint in the field
(function(){ P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function'){ A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })() What they have been through:Can't show pictures because I fell into a lake (with these boots on) and my phone camera is messed up. Very well made and good looking boots. I've wore them for the better part of a year now and put them through a lot of abuse. I've ran I don't know how many miles in them, I did 4 or 5 8+ mile ruck at high pace and did land nav with my not so bright squad leading me up and down a small mountain all day. I got red clay all over them and after a few more days of use there's no sign of the clay at all. I have no fingernails because I refuse to protect my hands whatsoever so I frequently untie these boots with the blade of a knife, and I know it's just nylon but the laces are holding up nicely especially the aglets. I use the aglet to assist in untying on all of my footwear, my 150 dollar pair of running shoes had the aglets break and come off, I've owned then and used them basically the same amount of time as these boots and the aglets aren't really showing any signs of wear.Pros:True to size: I struggle with some brands because of my weird and probably messed up feet, these boots fit nicely and feel great.Lightweight: these boots are very lightweight especially in comparison to the issued boots. NFS I'm pretty sure stands for need for speed, and these boots will help you get that.Grip: I thought I would slide around In these things but I was able to climb a 70ish degree muddy slope with some technique. I never had a moment when grip was something I didn't have wearing these boots.Value: these boots retail about 170$ on garmonts website, I don't know how Bolo gets them cheaper but they are definitely worth the money. Lots of people I know wear them and highly recommend them.Cons:Outsole thickness: the rubber it's made of is good stuff but the non aggressive tread means you are going to be on slicks after a year or two of heavy use, which isn't bad, but you will get alot more life out of the garmont falcons. I did most of my running in running shoes but after nearly a year my tread is almost flat in the front and back. Everything in between seems almost untouched.
5.0 out of 5 stars Garmont Boots Rock!
Garmont Boots Rock! I use both the T8 NFS 670 (this item) and the Bifida Boots. They are made very well, and the leather and synthetic materials form a very nice product. Both boots are different animals and do require break in. Once they have more or less adapted to your feet, they are very comfortable. In fact, I’d say they are the best ones out there. A certain style of sock will need to match your boot and foot and it may need to be thicker or thinner depending on how things feel. You will need to figure all that out. I wear a size 11 boot. The T8 (Sized 11) came in almost a little on the tighter side, but after breaking in they fit very well, like an extension of your foot, and that's what you need. No slipping, no sliding etc. The Bifida on the other hand fit a 1/2 size larger for me, so had to return and now have a 10-1/2. It has a slightly different feel than the T8s. You will definitely notice the thicker tread which is great for rocky trail / road areas, and the rear part of the heel is slightly higher than the rest of the boot. At first with the Bifidas, there was this issue with a strange feel towards the back of the insole. It was like my heel was being placed on the back top edge of the insert. It dug into my heel for a little bit, and it felt weird. I pulled the insole out and wore the boot and that showed me that the boot was the right size. I put the insoles back in and just grunted through it all. After hiking and fast walking about 20 miles altogether on varied terrain, they now fit as good as the T8s, in fact, maybe a little better. The T8s did not have any issue with the insoles, and are more like a very nice leather high top that you could run in and not get shin splints or blisters (if they are fitting properly). The Bifidas have a thicker bitchin’ Vibram tread to the bottom and handle rocky trails and muddy areas just fine. But that said, be aware that both aren't in the same class as hiking boots. For cases where you are out in the middle of nowhere near medium to larger sized rocks that can cause your ankle to roll, wear hiking boots instead, where your ankle will be completely immobilized (or close to that). I wish Garmont made a hiking boot that was made of the same type of materials. I’d choose that over the other commercial offerings.
5.0 out of 5 stars Garmont is the way to go
Great boot and good company, had a slight issue with the boot and they are shipping me new ones. it is a solid boot, it takes a little bit to break them in, as the part around your lower ankle is slightly uncomfortable at first, but after breaking them in they feel great. definitely get the wides unless you have small feet, the wides fit like normal boots. I have a pair of the t8 Falcons as well, and they are a slightly better option, and slightly wider. They are a bit more comfortable and the ankle support is a bit better, I have researched and tried other ar complaint boots and they are certainly the best options. Garmont is a solid brand and does an excellent job. As a side note if you need them for winter and snow the lowa's are probably the best option otherwise these are. the way to go. Get the darn tough socks as well.
Order a half size up, and expect to break them in
(function(){ P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function'){ A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })() I love these boots so far, having put a couple hundred kilometres into them since purchase. Before you buy, I do recommend you keep a few things in mind:I found that the size worked well for me when I ordered a half-size up from what I expected. I wear compression socks and have inserted plantar fasciitis insoles, and the fit is snug but comfortable that way. They do not move around, cause no undue fatigue, and sit exactly where they should.As some reviewers have mentioned, there is a possible hot spot on top of your foot where one of the rivets pushes downwards into the boot. In my case, I found that the pressure was relieved as long as I made sure to pull the boot's tongue taut after inserting my foot - the tongue of the boot was bunching under the rivet and causing pressure, so when the tongue is pulled into its proper position that pressure is removed. This takes almost no extra time while donning the boots and has managed the issue completely for me, though I imagine people with differently shaped feet may have a different experience.The boots come with some rudimentary water resistance, though I do recommend hitting them with an extra coat of your favourite leather/suede waterproofing solution for good measure if you intend to take them anywhere that is constantly damp. As you might expect from this type of boot, however, that won't help you if you step into water that is more than about ankle deep, as the water makes its way into the boot around the tongue and through the lacing holes (in my experience, anyway). On the plus side, they dried out very quickly with no more work than simply opening them up fully and setting them aside overnight.I hope that helps someone!
Very comfy, but...
Nothing like a sneaker, or a pair of running shoes like I had hoped.I was looking for a new pair of boots for a ruck march event in July. I'm about 6 ft, 190 lb, and I needed something I could ruck in for at least 20 to 25 miles a day. I wish I could say that these boots were perfect for such activity right out of the box, but they missed the mark by just a little bit.The inserts in them are rather thin, with no support in the arch. After the first five or six miles in them, my heels were hurting pretty good. Long story short, I had to swap them out for inserts. I wanted to use the custom fitted Dr Scholl's inserts (that you can buy on base for example) but, after I took out the original insoles and put the Dr Scholl's ones in, the boots were no longer comfortable on the pads of my feet.The workaround I have found is removing the insoles that come with the boots, and putting in a pair of insoles from a pair of Converse shoes. I just rucked about 20 miles last weekend with that method and though my feet were tired, they weren't destroyed.Ultimately, I was looking for a pair of boots that felt like Altras or a similar running shoe in terms of lightweight, and comfiness. These did not meet that mark. Nevertheless, they are sturdy, and once broken in, rather comfortable for rucking.
Fantastically comfortable and great quality
Really enjoying wearing these boots
A Comfortable and Lightweight Military Boot
The shoes are really light, comfortable and sturdy. The laces are nice and feel good when laced up. The cushioning of the Ortholite insoles are really nice and it feels soft. Overall it's a really good military boot. I would get more pairs in the future.
Super lightweight, no need to break them in.
As a customer ordering online (I'm Singaporean), my first fear was purchasing the wrong size. Thanks to the community in the reviews section, I nailed my sizing first time.1. If you're wearing normal socks, and you are a US 10, buy these in 10.5.2. I rock thicker merino wool socks. 10.5 will be snug. 11 was just right for me.You can always tighten your laces. But you cant magically expand your shoe overnight, so take note. Wrt wide vs regular, I cant really comment. Wide fits perfect for me, with a little bit of wiggle room for my toes.Outsoles were extremely grippy and felt like they have a slight bounce to it. You will notice it when you start to jog on your rucks.Overall, these boots are the most comfortable I have ever worn. I was in the military for a few years and every boot I owned then felt like they were trying to give me a hard time on purpose. These Garmont NFS boots were designed to SUPPORT me, which I appreciate. Upon receipt yesterday, i brought it for a 6km fast ruck with 45lb load and it was a dream. I bought insoles to use with these boots, but realised I didn't need them at all. Garmont NFSes come with orthotic insoles. Boots felt like they were carefully designed and built with the end user in mind, with only the best quality materials. It's a shame we dont find boots like this in our domestic market.There's only 1 regret I have: not discovering this sooner.
