I got my Corcorans today and I'm PISSED. The boot they sent me is smaller than they are labeled and apparently, Wide width Corcoran boots are narrower than normal width! I should have gone to Army Surplus and grabbed the largest size boot available

I'm going to get a pair of cheap Jungle Boots for working and I'm going to use the Bates as camp boots because they stand up to mud better than jungle boots

I wear size 13 Brahma sneakers. They're work sneakers, have steel toes, are water-proof, shock proof, skid proof, and are only $30. And they look like regular sneakers so I can remain casual.

I replaced the issue shit boot, its heel structurestarts falling apart and digging into your heel. It also didnt feel comfortable. I bought some SWAT brand boots at a surplus store with the zip up side so you dont need to tie them, theyre confortable and sturdy. Not expensive either.

Seems like I had a pair of side-zip boots under that name. The zipper on one of them broke off two months after I got them.

I don't wear sneakers. For some reason I haven't been able to find a comfortable pair since I was 11

That sucks dick. It'd never of happened if you had some nice, leather boots

mine are solid, ive hiked, worked, just worn around, and they work just fine, are confortable, and quick to put on when youre rushing to muster or something.

They were leather... Though I assume you mean regular lace-up boots instead of tacticool side-zips. ;)

At any rate, I'm running (no pun intended) a pair of 5.11 Tactical side-zip ATACs now and they're as durable as an AK.

Mine are leather and cloth, there durable but breathe well
