Firstly, the pair I received featured a "Virbram" style sole, not the Panama as advertised. Not that big of a deal though. THEY DO RUN LARGE! I wore them everyday for about three months and they're worn smooth so not bad for cheaper than gym shoes. Laces are on the short side. Overall not disappointed!

I'm really liking the look and fit. This is the first Rothco product I've bought, so I wasn't expecting something I could actually wear to the office without giggles, but these look fairly high-end. Almost hate to tear them up in the brush but that's the plan.

I ordered these boots on the advice of a friend for riding my Harley. They are GREAT and a super value. The size runs a little big that that is OK as it allows for a thicker sock or a comfort insole. Order your normal size. You will not be disappointed.

When I was a kid I wore a pair that were sent home from the war, I wore them to Parris Island because they are so comfortable. They got stored away during recruit training. Had a Captain who wore the same boots in uniform. Mine finally wore apart at 15 years. Now 25 years later BUDK has them and they fit and feel the same as they did 40 years ago, just putting them on and walking brought back old memories.

i recently purchased these boots and at first glance i liked them alot! then i laced them up and realized with the short laces that come with them it is difficult to get your foot in the boot without the laces coming out of the eyelits. simple fix, paracord does the trick so no big deal. they only come in full sizes so if you usaually wear a half size go down not up or else they will not fit and your feet will blister. they do not come with insoles so the boot is loose around your foot, but again simple fix. get some good thick insoles for a snug fit. i recomend rocky brand insoles. over all i am extremely pleased with this purchase espesially for the price. i have not field tested them so i can not comment on that, but im sure they will cause rothco makes a pretty good boot. having said that these boots sure surely stand the test of time and use. thanks budk
