Yea Salomons are on the narrow side. If you are leaning towards hiking boot, check out Merrell and Keen. If you are thinking more combat boot, Garmont T8 might be a good option. Danner and Oakley might be good choices too.
What do you think about the Viktos Johnny Combat Ops Boots? Been seeing some good and iffy things about them recently, would love to see what you thought about them.
I have 3 altamas 2 mid 1 low and they are awesome shoes. Longest pair so far is 3 years the others are 2 years old and no issues with stitching or glues.
I gotta say, I was not too impressed with them when I just got them, but I am starting to like them more and more. Need to get them in a neutral color for a daily wear.
@@UltimateSurvivalGear coyote is my wear around pair but they keep ending up in the garage working on stuff but oil seems to not stick to em so that's cool. The low one are camo print and yup too many questions when I wear em out in public.
I have the tac loadouts, quest 4d forces, xa forces, and lowa zephyrs. I've also had multiple Danners among several others. By far the most comfortable are the tac loadouts. The outsoles are also very, very good. They aren't water resistant but they breathe. They also don't seem to have a shank which is disappointing. They're like beefed up tennis shoes meant for desert environments. Salomon Quests are rugged meant for demanding environments. Once broken in theyre really comfortable. Not on the comfort level of the tac loadouts and they're pretty heavy. But they're good for super demanding terrains with heavy loads. XA forces are like the tac loadouts in that they're like a beefed up tennis shoe. Not as comfortable as the UA, but they're good for whatever you do on a day to day basis. Not a big fan of Keen. Lowa Zephyrs are pretty uncomfortable with a super tight forefoot. Rock hard. Not a fan. Literally gave them away. Not because they're low quality, but because of how uncomfortable they are. See ya.
#1 too many shoes. #2 I won’t wear a combat boot that doesn’t have a size zip. I can be in my boots and 5 miles down the road in any emergency before you finished tying the first one. #3 The USN Seals often wear Converse Chuck Taylors so the Altama maritime is the closest in this video. My personal favorites though are Blackhawk Ultralights (sidezip). You can stand on concrete for 8 hours and not know it. They have a dense layer of foam imbedded in-between the Vibram sole and the boot. Hands down the most lightest, most comfortable boots I’ve ever used. No insert can compare. You can run for days in them if needed. Just amazing feel to them. I also own a pair of Bates Ultralite tactical sidezip. Great boots but a little heavier and not as comfortable as the Blackhawks.
@@crispybirchbeer5317 Bullshit, the fact that I've worn mine every day for 4 years for work in an industrial shop as well camping, walking, yard work, and anything else says otherwise. It all depends on the brand and quality.
👀 I tell ya this !! 50 degrees Celsius (122*F) Sonora desert 🌵 none of this boots will last !! Soles needs to be sawing!! 👀👀Believe Me 👀👀!!! Glued boots won’t last I don’t care what brand !!
Salomon 4D Forces has been used in military operations and it is 6 in tall. I don't think a tall shaft is always an advantage for tactical application.
@markeverson5849 troops can wear whatever works for them. If working for the government has taught me something is that equipment contracts go to whoever can sell you the cheapest crap for the cheapest price. Hell, I wore salomon tennis shoes in Afghanistan.
The Solomon speed assault 2’s definitely the way to go
Can you review some of the merrall tactical boots?
What would you suggest for flat / wide feet. I tried the Solomon and they were very uncomfortable due to the arch.

Which 1 is best for standing for hours?
What about the Rocky S2V I’ve got 4 pairs in tan coyote and green and black I love em there like wearing a tennis shoe too
Yes, I would like to see a video about the superiority of Gore-Tex waterproof membranes.
goretex are overhyped buddy

Love this channel! great job, very detailed reviews

You can't even wear side zips in the army
Those Oakley boots are super light and comfortable, but that heal 🤮
Would these be good boots to kick someone's azzz? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha not only these will be good for that, you will also be super comfortable while doing it lol
@@UltimateSurvivalGear hahaha
I’m sure you can do this no problem, performing the Van Damme kicks like a badass! 😂
@@justintomimbang7955 if I tried that I'd blow out my taint
@@whatsup24_7 By taint, you mean your pants or something? I don’t really know what you’re referring to, I’m sorry.

That's a great point! Something like that comes only with experience, thank you for sharing!
What boots 🥾 would you recommend
No true tactical boot will be less than 8 in tall fact
Salomon 4D Forces has been used in military operations and it is 6 in tall. I don't think a tall shaft is always an advantage for tactical application.
@@UltimateSurvivalGear I only have my own experience a man's boot is like the track on a bulldozer until you run through the jungle
Wrong
@@TheMegamanpr why don't you just give your soldiers 4-in High tennis shoes

Nope
Under armour tactical boots suck. They blow out quick
