5.11 Tactical Men's A.T.A.C. 2.0 8-Inch Storm Boots, Ortholite Footbed, Slip-Resistant Outsole, Style 12392

4/28/23Great first impression with these boots, very comfortable! grips the Achilles perfectly. True to size as well, I wear a 10 and the 10's fit perfectly snug with just enough room in the toe and a set of insoles for extra comfort.I added some extra protection on the outside of the toe with some brown Flex Seal spray so thats why they look a little different than the stock boots. Ive also done a couple coats of some Camp Dry spray to hopefully help repell any water since I work in an animal shelter and frequently use a hose to clean kennels.I will update this review as time goes on since I know you cannot judge a pair of boots off a day or two of use.5/23/23Still love these boots! BUT they are just a fraction too small I think. The left boot is making my big toe numb from just barely pushing against it. So I have ordered another pair half a size up. Other than that they are still holding up very well and comfortable in every other aspect.4/3/24See picture. I put these boots through the ringer for 11 months. Near daily use. getting wet almost everyday. dirt, mud, gravel, poop (I work at an animal shelter) you name it. They did start to come apart in a few places about 8 months in, and a hole developed at the toe crease on the right boot around that same time. But they never fully came apart or became uncomfortable. I probably could have push them to a year but I decided it was time for another pair. Great boots for the money, im fine with getting a year out of them.

These boots rock! Been using them for about 2-3 weeks now and I have to say, they are leaps and bounds better than what I was issued out of the academy. Very comfortable. I have a wide toe/ball of my foot and all I needed to do to adjust was loosen the laces a bit and they fit great. They are extremely lightweight considering they are so water resistant which is great for me being a CO who has to both walk a lot and do a lot of my walking through wet corridors in a seg unit. Only gave 4 stars because I haven’t been able to fully test the durability of them as I have not had them long enough to consider that yet. That being said, they have held up well already and I notice no separation or wear as of yet.Side note, for those of you that want to shine these: they will polish to a high shine with a bit of work. I had the best luck after scrubbing and sort of exfoliating the surface of the boot a bit and then applying my own boot polish.Would definitely recommend at this point. Will update when I have worn them more to comment on durability more accurately.Edit*** have worn these for a few months and they’re still as comfortable as the day I got them. They have seen all kinds of abuse at work and there is no damage to the boot and they are holding up beautifully.Water resistance has held up in corridors with flooded toilets and my feet remain dry as a bone. They breathe well at the same time which is not generally the case with a water resistant boot such as this.Awesome purchase and will buy again next time they’re needed.

I've been using these boots, buying a new pair every few years for the past 10 years. They last, are comfortable, and are indeed waterproof. Highly reccomend.

First off this is not my first part of 511 boots, nor is it my second or third... 511 has been my go-to choice for boots for the last few years. They are the only boot I've worn that has held up to 40+ hours of 9 miles a night foot patrol and not outright worn out in six months.That said? These are bloody stiff out of the box to the point when I first stood up I nearly fell on my back. EVERY 511 boot I've bought in the past has been good to go out of the box. My last two pair I literally bought from a local first responder dealer and put them on before leaving the store with no issues. This pair? It took me weeks to break them in and even now months later I still have issues getting them on compared to my Evos I was wearing previously.Good things.Still as comfortable as I expect in the soul area and while walking.Quality is as expected to a degree.The bad.Months later I still have issues taking these off without unlacing. The whole point of the side zip is for easy on or off without problem, but because of how tight they left the membrane... it has no stretch and if you have size 14 feet like me it's going to get irritating putting them on or taking them off. Again the POINT of a zipper is so I don't have to unlace the boot to get them on or off.Tied to the above I'm annoyed that there is still not a backplate on the heel for you to dig in and kick these off. As such doing so my first week tore pieces of foam off the heel that was apparently not glued on entirely. So now I have notches missing on an otherwise new looking boot.These did not come with boot laces like the last four pair of 511s I've bought, so if you don't replace the laces expect to tie them every 2-3 days if you don't double knot. Which again... with a useless side zip... is annoying.These are supposed to be anti-slip but every time I get on a smooth surface combined with a liquid I might as well be wearing ice skates. On pavement or the like it's not an issue, but on something like a waxed floor or a wood dock covered in algae? BE CAREFUL.End thoughts? I will be buying Evos again in the future when they wear out. I only bought these because of what my first responder friends said about it, and the fact it was(at the time) cheaper than the Evos.
