Figure most of you wear a boot just about everyday. I have all my life and since my first pair of US Army Combat boots at age 10, because my daddy wore them.

Been thru a lot in over 60 years. But of all my working boots this pair of USMC issue RATS is the most comfortable and probaly, rugged I have ever worn. 3 styles, Steel Toe, GorTex and hot weather. They are made by Danner for the USMC. Yea, bit pricey at $350 a pair MSRP, but they are ISSUE if you are a Marine and as a result, plenty of Marines rarely wear them as they have desk jobs, some guys keep a pair for display and inspection and have a pair they wear. And a lot of guys get out of the USMC and the boots end up on ebay...where I got mine for $69 bucks, new and unused.

If you are looking for a good comfortable work boot and you would be proud wear a boot that has the USMC Globe on the outer heel cup then this boot is for you.

I may have been Army for 26 years but the USMC has a BETTER BOOT by a mile..

The most comfortable boots I have ever worn were the Chukka boots the Air Force had back in the day. When they announced that they were phasing them out, I bought every one I could find in my size.

One has to wonder with the USMC logo are they made in USA or China??

Pair of hiking boots here made by Danner. About 500 miles with a full pack on them. Showing no signs of wear. (Unlike the feet that go in them!)

I still my Danner "Ft Lewis" Boots made for and authorized for wear on Ft Lewis, Wa when I was there (mid 80's). Great boot for sure.

For me the Garmont T8 Bifidas are the most comfortable and durable boot I have worn in 16 years of service. They come out of the box feeling like you have been breaking them in for a year
