text: In reply to message73649: Here is the thing about tactical boots, you need to find comfortable ones. I have Garmont T8 NFS2s because I like a lighter weight tactical boot. I’ve had Oakleys and didn’t care for the much. I never liked Bates. Like I said, it comes down to whatever is comfortable for you. Im not saying go spend $200+ on boots but for me $150 is the magic number on comfortable boots.
