Your commute home probably doesn’t include a 20-mile hike through unforgiving terrain. That’s a typical Monday for the U.S. Elite Special Forces. We took everything we learned from designing their footwear and created a civilian boot in infantry style. It offers the protection of waterproof full-grain leather, the comfort of urethane shock absorption, the support of an eight-inch collar and the traction of high NBS vulcanized tread. The technology is probably more aggressive than you need, but that’s the way we engineer boots for those whose lives depend on their gear.

Waterproof full-grain leathers for unsurpassed comfort, support and breathability
Eight-inch collar for ankle protection and support, gusseted tongue to block debris, and welted construction for maximum durability and stability
High NBS rubber outsole for secure traction on all surfaces, and high density EVA for optimal shock absorption and responsive feel

Really impressed with these, Very solid construction. So much so I thought they may take a while to wear in, But no they are so comfortable. Felt a bit small initially but that seems to be the padding, which sort of moulds itself around the foot.
Anti friction lining. Blurb says "Reduced foot to shoe surface friction loweres internal heat and moisture to previously unattainable levels. Optimum shoe climate for maximum all day comfort" Which seems to actually work.True metal icon on the boot and nice icon on the end of each lace. Due to the solid construction you going to have to get fed up with them before they wear out
