XPETI X-FORCE 8" Waterproof Tactical Boots

The media could not be loaded. I love everything about these boots! They are not only lightweight, breathable, and look good, but they are also very well made. They are incredibly comfortable to walk in. I was in them doing some medium rough work for around 10 hrs, and had to walk around for another 4 hrs or so doing errands. My feet were still good, I was feeling some discomfort, but this was due to just being on my feet for over 12 hrs. I would have been in a lot more pain or discomfort if I didn't have these on. The heel and toe protection is clever because it's lightweight hard materials. Everything on them is well made, durable, and lightweight. These boots are seriously THE BEST boots you can buy, especially for the price. I have some seriously comfortable Under Armour Boots that go for around $180 retail and they don't offer any toe protection or heel protection. These are half of those UA Boots! The only way you are going to find any boots that are comparable to this kind of quality, is if you are spending $200+ or more. Even Wolverine, any of their stuff that would compare you are spending at least $150. That might be the brand closest to these for a good price. All around with how well these boots are made, I've never seen such a all around amazing design that offers the comfort and protection that you need out of a boot. Especially if you have a rough Independent Contracting job, Retail, or Military/Law Enforcement job where you are standing or on your feet all day. Thank you Xpeti! If you need another worker to design or take your boots to the next level, I'm your guy! Lol.

I have worn combat boots almost everyday since '89; one reason is I have bad feet and trick ankles and boots help prevent my turning my ankles, so I not only wore them on the job, but during downtime periods (time off) too.I have tried countless brands at all price points. Typically, $100 or less assured a horrible quality boot that felt more like a sack tied onto my foot. I gambled with these boots based on the price and was literally shocked. They wear as comfortable as the most expensive brands, if not are the most comfortable I have ever worn. You know how good it feels when you slide you hand into a perfect fitting glove, one you know you will be able to work in and maintain dexterity, well these boots feel that way for your feet...a snug perfect fit with a heft of construction telling you they can handle punishment. Check my profile, I do not write 'Reviews,' and I am inly hurting myself, because the more Positive Reviews this brand gets, the higher the price will become. I am literally waiting for another sale like they offered at Christmas to order another two pair to shove in the closet as backup for when these wear out. Speaking of 'wearing out,' this is the only aspect that I cannot comment on yet as I have only had mine since before the holidays.I also wish they would offer a completely, boot and sole, variety of camouflage options, that would pair with a Ghillie suit well and save having to spray paint and old pair of boots to fill that need.

A great pair of boots.I love the way they look and they’re reasonably comfortable- as a pair of boots go. I’m okay with their weight and how well they come on and off.They don’t come with a zipper, so if you’re looking for that in a pair of boots, you won’t find them here.I’ve had these for about 3 weeks now. They replace an older pair of boots that I still have. But, I find now that I wish I’d seen these first. Because, they are an absolute go-to for me.Good Price- Good Looks- Good Feel.You’ll like em. Give these a try if you’re looking for a new pair for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

I spent six years in the Navy, 3 on an 8 story aircraft carrier, and my ankles are now pronated, so I must always wear boots to lace tightly around them. Of note, the VA denied coverage for medical care, even though they put a flatfooted guy on a small carrier. Nice that the US government takes care of everyone but its veterans.I have three pairs of Norvic boots that have been excellent. I am very pleased with the Norvic boots I also have leather Hanagal and two models of Nike boots. On average, walking 2-4 miles a day, I can put between 600-800 miles on the Norvic boots before they begin to break down. The Nike's began breaking down at around 400-500 miles and the Hangal's are still running strong after about 500 miles with no notable breakdown. The Hangals are also extremely comfortable. This boot is also very comfortable, but it's like wearing a ski boot compared to a more flexible leather boot. The construction is strong and I appreciate that I can pull the laces tight without completely pulling the sides of the boots together, meaning I can crank them down super tight. I would select this boot over the others for hard core hiking, through the woods or on uneven ground because your ankles will be 100% isolated, wrapped up and good to go. I currently only have about 50 miles on them and will update this review when I've had more time with them. If you want excellently ankle isolation/protection for hiking over rocks, etc., while having a comfortable fit, these will do it for you. Now we will see how long they last.Update, 3/14/25: The boots have held up extremely well and probably have 500 or so miles in them now. Out of all the boots I own, these are my goto boots for long walks. However, THEY ARE NOT WATER PROOF. If I take any water over the toe that rolls up to the laces, my right foot gets wet. Given my appreciation for the support these boots provide, this is extremely disappointing, because I need to be able to walk through 3-5" of water with water tight integrity. Great boots - just NOT water proof.
